Summer Gets A Bad Rap
In the spa and skin care world, summer gets a bad rap! Honestly, we kick off summer in May, which is also Skin Cancer Awareness month. Damn, talk about kicking it off on a serious note! It’s like when I was in high school and took driver’s ed, yes, we had a class where we learned how to drive. But seriously, we started that class off with the most morbid movie about the perils of drunk driving.
It’s that forewarned is forearmed mentality, I guess!
Let’s all act as if we’re responsible adults and understand that SPF is a summer-time requisite and let’s get down to the business of enjoying summer and all it has to offer!
I mean, everyone has an aunt that makes a killer potato salad for the summer holiday cook outs, right? It wouldn’t be summer without holidays – Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day!
Well this year, we’re adding a 4th holiday! The L+A Summer Skin Care Guide Kick Off !

Mandelic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that is naturally derived from bitter almonds. The molecular structure of mandelic acid is larger than other AHA’s, such as glycolic acid. The larger molecule means mandelic acid causes much less irritation with less erythema. BiON’s Mandelic Serum has antibacterial properties, regulates sebum production to help prevent the recurrence of acne outbreaks, clears pores, exfoliates and increases cell turnover. As collagen is strengthened, the appearance of fine lines can be reduced, and overall skin texture improves. It is extremely beneficial in treating acne, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and reducing pigmentation issues. BiON’s Mandelic Acid Serum is ALCOHOL FREE!
- Acne – Has antibacterial properties, regulates sebum production, clears pores preventing recurrence of acne
- Hyperpigmentation and Melasma – Breaks up discoloration caused by sun damage, PIH and hormones
- Anti-Aging – Encourages exfoliation and reduces fine lines
- Ingredients to help skin retain moisture by up to 84%
Advanced Alpha Hydroxy Gel Mask - KM Herbals
Skip the scrubbing and exfoliate with natural plant acids and enzymes! Skin that is delicate, mature, or prone to irritation can be easily damaged by manual exfoliation, and AHA’s do the job without rubbing or pulling at sensitive areas. This method doesn’t require abrasive cloths, tools, or particles – AHA’s work while you relax. Our ingredients are extracted from botanicals naturally high in Alpha Hydroxy Acids like Bilberry, Orange, and Lemon, and paired with exfoliating enzymes of Pineapple and Papaya. The formula is brought to a pH of 3.0, giving it higher acidity and efficacy while still being mild enough for regular use.
