  Fall’s a great time of year for skin Rejuvenation. So in 2016, after over 20 years as a Memphis Dermatologist, I incorporated ideas from my own Memphis Dermatology practice, having treated people with Eczema, Atopic Dermatitis, Acne, and Psoriasis, into the design of a helpful group of exfoliating moisturizers with an Alpha Hydroxy Acid called Glycolic Acid: GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion, Cream, and Oil, and GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion, Cream, and Oil.

  So what’s an exfoliating moisturizer, and what do these products do in skincare?


Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid

  Exfoliating moisturizers have two separate benefits: their lubricating qualities and their exfoliating qualities. In the case of GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion, its Refined Shea Butter moisturizes the skin, allowing better elasticity and reducing wrinkles, making it into antiwrinkle cream. Its Glycolic Acid, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid originally discovered in sugarcane and pineapple, speeds up the cell cycle in the skin, improving skin color, texture, and tone, giving GlycoShea what are called exfoliating moisturizer qualities, turning GlycoShea into an Antiwrinkle Cream.

  At Big River Silk Skincare, you can customize your skincare exfoliating moisturizer choices because we offer the GlycoShea Facial&Neck products as a Cream, a Lotion, and an Oil. So let’s take a look at which is the best option for your skincare needs:


GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion is an antiwrinkle cream
GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion is an emulsion of Glycolic Acid with Shea Butter



















  GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion is lighter to apply, nongreasy, and fragrance-free, appealing for most people with combination skin or even oily skin. It can be used once or twice a day, particularly to areas where you wish to achieve better skin color, texture, or tone.

  GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream has a higher concentration of Refined Shea Butter, making this product more lubricating and more useful for people with drier skin. With their more concentrated Shea Butter, GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream has an initial aroma of Shea, right after application, with more prolonged moisturizing effects, making this variety more convenient to apply at bedtime.

  GlycoShea Facial&Neck Oil is more helpful for people that need to apply exfoliating moistureizer to larger areas of the body, particularly after bathing or showering, manufactured with the lubricating

benefits of aroma-free cottonseed oil.

  GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion, Cream, and Oil, and GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion, Cream, and Oil are also helpful for what makes them pure. Designed by Dermatologists, all of these exfoliating moisturizers are fragrance-free, dye-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and formaldehyde-free, making them into Organic moisturizer (GlycoShea Facial&Neck products: 1 oz: $44.95; 2 oz: $68.95; 8 oz: $279.95; GlycoShea Hand&Body products: 1 oz: $22.95; 2 oz:  $34.95; 8 oz: $114.95).

  If you have an actual skin condition, perhaps looking for Eczema Treatment, Atopic Dermatitis Treatment, Acne Treatment, or Psoriasis Treatment, consider an appointment with a Board-certified Dermatologist.  I have practiced as a Memphis Dermatologist, at Rheumatology and Dermatology Associates, since 1993 (8143 Walnut Grove Road, Cordova TN 38018: 1-901-753-0168; www.Rheumderm.com). Or if you are looking for a “Dermatologist near me” or “Dermatologists Near Me” or “Best Dermatologist Near Me”, you could 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.
