LESSONS IN SKINCARE – WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID AND HOW IT CAN BENEFIT YOU

With so many new skin products and trends, it can be hard to keep up with what’s great for you and what can actually harm you. But don’t worry, we give you all the information you need on one of the best new and effective skin trends – Hyaluronic Acid.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a substance that occurs naturally in your body, and is constantly being replenished in the skin.  Hyaluronic acid is often called a “fountain of youth” or “miracle worker” because of its anti-ageing effects. Unfortunately, our body’s ability to produce HA decreases with age, so we have to look for other ways to get youthful, smooth and hydrated skin.

BENEFITS OF HYALURONIC ACID

Unlike other acids we know, hyaluronic acid does not remove dead cells from our skin. Instead, hyaluronic acid is known for its water retention and hydration benefits. It acts as a barrier holding immense amounts of water, and effectively plumping the skin to produce radiant and hydrated skin. This also means that it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the skin.

BEST PRACTICE

It may seem like we would only need hyaluronic acid for dry skin or during winters, but the truth is that pretty much everyone needs as much of it as they can get, all the time! Our body moisture can be affected  many environmental factors, inclusing exposure to the sun, pollution, dehydration to name a few. So why not invest in some great products that help make our skin happy?
