What is a fruit acid facial?
Fruit acid facial treatments use acids derived from fruit, which are thought to stimulate collagen levels and improve tone and texture of the skin and may reduce wrinkles, age spots, scars, and hyperpigmentation and treat conditions relating to sensitive skin. Common fruit acids used include citric acids, lactic acids, glycolic acids, malic acids, and tartaric acids taken from sources such as sugar cane, milk, lemons, apples, pears, oranges, and grapes. They may also be known as glycolic acid facials and be listed as peels on some spa menus. Machka’s fruit acid facials include moisturizer, sunscreen, cleansing, and toner.
