Renew Yourself with Alpha Hydroxy Acid Glycolic Acid GlycoShea
by George Woodbury Jr. M.D. - Board-certified Dermatologist and President of Big River Silk Skincare 08/24/2023
Maybe you have oily skin, combination skin, or even dry skin. Maybe you’re looking for a deep cleanser for Acne-prone skin, to use in combination with Acne treatment from your Dermatologist. Maybe you need a moisturizer that will refresh your skin as an acne-wrinkle cream, and a gentle sunscreen to protect you against strong UV rays during the day?
The Dermatologists at Big River Silk Skincare Inc., a company of which I have been President since 2016, have now released both beautiful AmberSoy™ Soap Gel – a gentle soft glycerine cleanser – and Anti-wrinkle cream with Glycolic Acid- an Alpha Hydroxy Acid – GlycoShea™ Facial&Neck Lotion. So how does this Renewal Line work?
First, you can use AmberSoy Soap Gel as a simple acne-prone cleanser – or even as a leave-on face mask – for 2-20 minutes before rinsing off. AmberSoy can offer you a deeper clean than most bar soaps – because it’s a gel. If you have combination skin or oily skin, and you’re prone to Acne, consider leaving it in place a longer period of time before rinsing, for a really deep clean. Available in Mint/Lemon/No Fragrance Added. 1 oz: $12.95. 2 oz: $18.95. 8 oz: $59.95.
Secondly, it helps to employ a moisturizer that will refresh your skin, acting against dryness but also promoting skin renewal. Dermatologic research has shown that a group of chemicals called Alpha Hydroxy Acids promote better cell turnover in the skin through a process called exfoliation, whereby older cells are better released from the skin surface, resulting in smoother, less wrinkle-prone skin. So Glycolic Acid is the active agent within Big River Silk Skincare’s GlycoShea Lotion.
GlycoShea Lotion can be used once or twice a day after cleansing to improve skin texture and tone, as an exfoliating moisturizer, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, and evening out skin color, making GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion into an Antiwrinkle Cream 1 oz: $39.95. 2 oz: $59.95 8oz: $217.95.
Thirdly, almost all of us need an effective sunscreen. . It’s generally best to select a “Broad-spectrum sunscreen” with an SPF or Sun Protection Factor greater than 30. It’s best to identify a dye-free sunscreen, a fragrance-free sunscreen, a parabens-free sunscreen, a PABA-free sunscreen, and a formaldehyde-free sunscreen. The Dermatologists at Big River Silk Skincare have just the sunscreen that meets all of these criteria: Vanicream® Sunscreen Sport SPF 50. 2.4 oz: $17.95.
Best of all, you can now obtain all three of these products – AmberSoy Soap Gel, GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion, and Vanicream Sunscreen Sport – at a discount for $69.95 – with free shipping within the continental USA ($10.00 for Canadian orders). Or the Renewal Line for 2023 is available for immediate pick-up at Big River Silk Skincare’s International Headquarters, 8143 Walnut Grove Road, Cordova TN 38018 (1-901-753-0168; www.Bigriversilkskincare.com).
And if you have an actual skin condition, perhaps looking for Acne Treatment, Rosacea Treatment, or Perioral Dermatitis Treatment, consider seeking an appointment with a Board-certified Dermatologist. The Big River Silk Skincare Renewal Line could easily be incorporated within a care plan outlined by your Dermatologist, perhaps a care plan employing prescription Retinoid topical medications such as Retin A Cream or Differin Gel or Tazorac Gel, or perhaps one with oral antibiotics like Minocycline or Doxycycline, or even Accutane (isotretinoin). I have practiced as a Board-certified Memphis Dermatologist at Rheumatology and Dermatology Associates since 1993 (8143 Walnut Grove Road, Cordova TN 38018: 1-901-753-0168; www.Rheumderm.com). Or you can find a Dermatologist closer to you by going to the American Academy of Dermatology web site, AAD.org, then plugging your zip code into the Find a “Dermatologist” tab.
So now’s a great time to starting refreshing your skin for the fall!
