question 36 of 38
among the following choices, acids would most likely be used to ____________.
select the correct response:
swell the hair
exfoliate the skin
raise the ph of products
soften calloused skin

Explanation:

Acids are commonly used in skincare for exfoliation. Alpha - hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta - hydroxy acids (BHAs) can dissolve the "glue" that holds dead skin cells together on the skin's surface, promoting cell turnover and revealing smoother skin underneath. They do not swell hair, they lower pH rather than raise it, and while they may have some effect on calloused skin, exfoliation is their most well - known use among the given options.

Answer:

exfoliate the skin
