Encyclopedia of Fruit Acids

Fruit acids, scientifically known as AHAs, are commonly known as “fruit acids” because they are found in abundance in various fruits. More than 2,000 years ago, Cleopatra used wine and milk to care for her skin, in order to pray for ageless beauty. For nearly 1,000 years, winemakers on French wine estates have been rubbing their skin with grape juice to keep it youthful and smooth. Since fruit acids have such a long history and such amazing results, is it actually safe and how does it resurface the skin?
