  HOW IS SALICYLIC ACID DIFFERENT FROM LACTIC AND GLYCOLIC ACID?
Although salicylic, lactic, and glycolic acids are all categorized as common hydroxy acids used in skincare, there
are a few key distinctions to keep in mind when considering the benefits of these chemical exfoliants. Salicylic
acid is what’s known as a beta-hydroxy acid (or “BHA” for short). Alternately, glycolic acid and lactic acid fall
under the category of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). All three of these ingredients work somewhat similarly as
chemical exfoliants, helping to promote skin exfoliation and eliminate the buildup of dead skin cells. However,
their main difference is in their solubility. Because salicylic acid is “lipid-soluble”—unlike glycolic and lactic acid—it
is able to penetrate clogged pores, which is especially beneficial for those with oily skin.

TONER FORMULATION

ChatGPT

ChatGPT
Here's a basic formulation for a homemade toner. This recipe is simple and customizable, but please note that everyone's skin
is different, so it's a good idea to do a patch test before using any new skincare product extensively.

Homemade Toner Formulation:

Ingredients:
1. Base Liquid: Witch hazel or rose water (or a combination of both) serves as a gentle astringent base. They help to
tone the skin and tighten pores.
2. Optional Additions:
 Aloe vera gel: Soothes and hydrates the skin.
 Apple cider vinegar: Helps balance the skin's pH and has antibacterial properties.
 Essential oils: Depending on your skin type, you can add a few drops of essential oils like tea tree oil (for acne-
prone skin), lavender oil (for sensitive skin), or rosemary oil (for oily skin).
Instructions:
1. Start with a clean, sterilized bottle or container to store your toner.
2. Pour witch hazel and/or rose water into the bottle. You can adjust the ratio based on your preference and skin type. For
example, if you have oily skin, you might use more witch hazel, while those with dry or sensitive skin might prefer more
rose water.
3. If using additional ingredients like aloe vera gel, apple cider vinegar, or essential oils, add them to the bottle as well.
The proportion of these ingredients can vary based on personal preference and skin sensitivity. For instance, you might
start with a tablespoon of aloe vera gel and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar per cup of witch hazel/rose water
mixture.
4. Close the bottle tightly and shake well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
5. Store the toner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
6. To use, apply the toner to a cotton pad and gently swipe it over your face and neck after cleansing. Avoid the eye area.
7. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer.
Notes:
 Always do a patch test before using any new skincare product, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
 If you experience any irritation or discomfort, discontinue use immediately.
 This homemade toner formulation does not contain any preservatives, so it's best to make small batches and use them
within a few weeks.
 If you prefer a longer shelf life or if you plan to make larger batches, consider adding a natural preservative like vitamin
E oil or grapefruit seed extract. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for usage and dosage.
 Adjust the ingredients and proportions based on your skin type and personal preferences.
