What Is Glycolic Acid? Why It Belongs in Your Glow Routine

<p>If glowing skin is your goal, <strong>glycolic acid</strong> might be your secret weapon.</p>

<p>This powerhouse exfoliant is part of the <strong>AHA (alpha hydroxy acid)</strong> family, known for gently sloughing off dead skin cells to reveal fresh, radiant skin underneath.</p>

<h3>🌟 What Does Glycolic Acid Do?</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Exfoliates the top layer of skin</li>
  <li>Brightens dull, uneven tone</li>
  <li>Reduces fine lines and texture</li>
  <li>Helps clear pores and reduce breakouts</li>
</ul>

<h3>🧴 How to Use It Safely</h3>
<p>Glycolic acid is strong—so you don’t want to overdo it.</p>
<p><strong>Start slow:</strong><br>
👉 Use a product with glycolic acid <strong>2–3 times a week</strong><br>
👉 Always follow with <strong>SPF</strong> during the day (because it makes your skin more sun-sensitive)</p>

<h3>🌿 Glow Beauty Pro Tip</h3>
<p>Look for clean, natural formulas that combine glycolic acid with <strong>hydrating ingredients</strong> like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to avoid irritation.</p>
