Hyaluronic Acid and How To Use It
The plumping and hydrating wonder, Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful ingredient that is essential in daily skincare.
Main Benefits:
- Hydrates and plumps the skin
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve skin texture and tone
Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body, has been gaining popularity in the skincare industry for its ability to hydrate and plump the skin. It is a molecule that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it an essential ingredient in daily skincare routines.
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant (hydrator) that binds water to the skin, whereas a moisturiser (emollient) creates a protective barrier that locks in hydration and prevents water loss. While they are often misunderstood and mistaken as one in the same, understanding its properties and directions of use will give us the hydrated and plump skin we are looking for.
As we age, our skin loses moisture, which can lead to dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles. When the skin is dehydrated, it can appear dull and lifeless. Hyaluronic acid is able to retain moisture in the skin, and keeping it hydrated throughout the day. This makes it a wonder ingredient for all skin types. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by filling in the gaps between collagen and elastin fibres, which can become more pronounced as we age.
Hyaluronic acid can improve the skin’s texture and tone. It can also help to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots, giving the skin a more radiant and youthful appearance.
Importantly, it is a gentle ingredient that can be used by those with sensitive skin, as well as those with oily or acne-prone skin. It does not clog pores or cause irritation, making it a safe and effective ingredient for daily skincare.
Hyaluronic acid is a perfect additional to a skincare regime and can other skincare ingredients. It can a standalone hydration product or in combination with other ingredients such as vitamin C, bakuchiol, and peptides. An additional benefit is when used in combination with other ingredients, it can help to enhance their effects and provide additional benefits to the skin.
