Glytone Exfoliating Body Lotion

With a free glycolic acid value of 17.5% Glytone Body Lotion is professional level, serious skin care! There's nothing like it to turn rough, dry skin into velvety soft smooth skin. The transformation is due to the high glycolic acid concentration in Glytone body lotion. Glycolic acid is the best alpha hydroxy acid to exfoliate skin; it removes rough dry scale, compacts the outer dead cells to create polished and smooth skin, dissolves age spots and binds water to moisturize and hydrate! In short, it's a miracle!

I've used Glytone Body Lotion for years and without it my skin is rough and chalky. There's nothing more effective to improve lusterless rough, dry body skin. Glytone Body Lotion and it's companion product Glytone Body Wash are part of my Anti Aging Body Skin Care Kit.

Because Glytone Body Lotion is extremely strong it may be irritating to sensitive or damaged skin, skin folds and other sensitive skin sites. If irritation develops, discontinue use and consult a physician.

Tips For Success with Glycolic Acid Products

• Always start with lower strength products and work up in strength as your skin is able to tolerate the glycolic acid.

• Glycolic acid is by definition an ‘acid’ and can irritate sensitive or injured skin. When or if there is stinging or irritation, you can lower the concentration of the glycolic acid in the product by diluting it in half with a non-glycolic acid product and gradually work towards full strength.

• Mix equal portions of the glycolic acid product and a similar non-glycolic acid product that you know your skin can tolerate in your palm before applying them to the skin.

• In a week or so, add less of the non-glycolic acid product as you mix the two products in your palm. Slowly continue this process until you can tolerate the full strength glycolic acid product.

• If your skin becomes irritated, take a break from your glycolic acid treatment for a few days, or until the skin returns back to normal, before resuming therapy.

• Avoid or use less glycolic acid in areas of your skin that are more sensitive. This means diluting the glycolic product as above or avoiding glycolic acid on the area all together. Examples of sensitive skin areas on the body include the décolletage area of the chest and the skin folds of the groin or under the breasts. On the face this would include the eyelids and central ‘T-zone’ in people suffering from seborrhea.

• Do not get glycolic acid on the lips and of course do not eat products intended for external use only.

• The eyelid folds are sensitive. Of course, do not get glycolic acid in your eyes. This means do not apply it so close to the eyes that it melts into the eyes as the product warms to skin temperature.

• Sometimes glycolic acid products may sting if you use them after exfoliating with a scrub or rough shower cloth or sponge. If this happens, then apply glycolic acid products on days that you don’t physically exfoliate when washing. Instead apply a non-glycolic acid product after exfoliating and use your glycolic acid product when you don’t exfoliate

• If your skin develops irritation, an injury, a sunburn or windburn or a rash, you must not apply glycolic acid to those areas of your skin. Wait until your skin is entirely healed plus at least 2 weeks. Glycolic acid will further irritate irritated skin, compounding the inflammation, preventing healing and possibly resulting in scarring or dyspigmentation. This includes skin irritated from wind or sun, irritating skin medicines such as acne medicines or tretenoin (Retin A and Renova) or procedures such as electrolysis, laser, chemical peels, waxing etc.

•  Irritated skin can develop permanent darkening in response to sunlight. Do not expose irritated skin to the sun until the skin has returned to normal.
