Prepare your skin for summer with Pauline, Training Manager

Glycolic acid is a powerful ally for exfoliating and smoothing the skin. Commonly used on the face, it is also an essential treatment for the body, reducing ingrown hairs, hyperpigmentation, and promoting more even skin.

Is glycolic acid as effective for the body as it is for the face, and what skin issues can it address on the body?

Yes, glycolic acid can be effectively used on the body. It is particularly useful for exfoliating and smoothing the skin. It also helps treat areas prone to ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation, especially on the legs, underarms, and back. By gently exfoliating, it can also prevent folliculitis and even out the skin tone in these often-neglected areas.

Glycolic acid body care

How should glycolic acid be applied to the body?

Glycolic acid-based care should be applied to clean, dry skin. It is important to use circular motions to distribute the product evenly and enhance its firming action. Additionally, it is advised to avoid applying glycolic acid to damaged, irritated, or sensitized areas, such as those affected by shaving or waxing.

Key Information

It is essential to protect your skin from the sun after exfoliation with glycolic acid to prevent pigmentation spots.

Can glycolic acid be used on particularly sensitive areas?

Sensitive areas can tolerate glycolic acid, but with caution. It is recommended to start with a low concentration and perform a patch test before applying the product to the entire area. If the skin shows signs of redness or irritation, it is best to reduce the frequency of application or avoid these areas for a while.

What Eneomey body care products do you recommend?

I recommend the PERFECT BODY 15 and PERFECT BODY 30 from Laboratoire ENEOMEY. They provide hydrating, smoothing, firming, and stimulating benefits.

PURIFY CLEANSER also offers exfoliating, smoothing, and purifying actions. The combined use of the body cleanser and body lotion provides real benefits. Try them, and you'll love them!
