WHAT ARE ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS?
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are derived from
naturally-occurring acids found in nature such as fruit, sugar cane and milk. Throughout
the ages, women have turned to these natural acids to improve the integrity of their skin.
AHAs uncover fresh, natural skin that glows with new softness and silky texture.
Cleopatra's flawless skin was attributed to her
famous sour milk baths and the ladies of the French Court of Louis XIV applied aged wine
to their faces achieving a luxuriously soft and blemish-free complexion.
AHAs slow down the photo-aging process of skin that
is accelerated by excessive stress, damaging UV rays and environmental hazards. In a true
collaboration with nature, Jason Natural Cosmetics offers AHA products designed to reverse
the negative effects associated with aged and photo-damaged skin.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AHAs?
- EXFOLIATES - AHAs break down the intercellular bonds or glue-like substance that
binds to dead skin cells allowing the outer layer of dead cells to gently slough or fall
off. This exfoliation process also prevents the blocking of pores.
- STIMULATES NEW
CELL PRODUCTION - AHAs stimulate the
production of new skin cells to come to the surface faster increasing cell turnover time.
AHAs accelerate the emergence of young, healthier-looking cells to the surface by removing
impurities and accumulated cell debris.
- PROMOTES PRODUCTION
OF COLLAGEN - The application of AHAs affect
both the surface layer of skin and the deeper dermis layer. AHAs increase epidermal and
dermal firmness and thickness, evening out fine lines and wrinkles.
- REDUCES APPEARANCE
OF AGE SPOTS -
AHAs reverse the appearance of aging over time by reducing darkened sun and age spots.
- INCREASES MOISTURIZING
ACTION - AHAs act as humectants by absorbing
moisture from the atmosphere. These hydrated AHAs increase the water content of the skin
thus moisturizing the outer layer of the epidermis.

Designed to Meet Your
Skincare Needs
Jason uses an advanced blend of three AHAs extracted
from sugar cane or molasses (glycolic acid), sour milk (lactic acid) and fruit (mixed
fruit acids) boosting nature's multiple exfoliating actions.
 Glycolic Acid
Because of its small size, gycolic acid is effective at speeding up the skin's exfoliation
process restoring your skin's natural softness and youthful tone.
Lactic Acid
As an integral part of the skin's natural moisturizing factor or NMF, lactic acid has a
solid history as a moisturizing and softening agent having the capacity to bind or hold
water to the skin.
Mixed Fruit Acids
These natural acids extracted from apples, grapes, papayas, citrus fruits and tomatoes
maintain the skin's ideal pH balance, brighten and even out skin tone. |
| The JASON Advantage Nature's own
botanical extracts in JASON'S work by revitalizing and strengthening your skin's natural
restorative processes. Your skin will look and feel smoother and softer within two weeks
of daily use. Within four weeks your skin will appear healthier, fresher and
evenly-textured.
Extra care should be taken for
sensitive skin. Start with the lowest concentration of AHAs in the
evening for a few days then apply it mornings as well.
When you exfoliate your skin with
AHAs, it is normal to feel a tingling sensation the first few days. If you feel
discomfort, switch to a lower concentration or discontinue use for a few days then
gradually reintroduce.
For all skin types, avoid using
buff puffs or cleaning and exfoliating grains during AHAs use. Refrain from applying AHAs
to fragile areas of the skin such as spider veins or broken capillaries.
After using our AHAs, your
conditioned skin will be more receptive in maintaining its natural moisture barrier.
Because your skin deserves the best, use JASON's moisturizing formulas containing precious
borage, sunflower and Evening Primrose oils for complete skin protection. |
