benifits of hyaluronic acid for skincare

You have to know that Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most important molecules to keep your skin well hydrated and plump. Hydration + Plumpness= Dewy looking skin and minimized wrinkles/fine lines. Think of Hyaluronic Acid like the glass of water your skin is dying for. What’s so special about this molecule? First of all, it holds 1000 times its size in water! So imagine when your skin absorbs it, the flood of hydration it carries with it. It also draws and locks in moisture from its surrounding, prolonging hydration and helps boost collagen and elasticity.

Not all Hyaluronic Acids are created equal!

There are many forms of Hyaluronic Acid on the market and of course we believe they are not all created equal. First of all, we stay away from the synthetic kind and favor an all nature Hyaluronic Acid. The size of the molecule also matters and will affect how deep into your skin it will be absorbed. Smaller sizes of Hyaluronic Acid deliver plumping, youth-giving hydration that helps minimize the look of wrinkles, while larger sizes deliver conditioning moisture that helps smooth and soften skin texture.

All skin types benefit from Hyaluronic Acid but dry, dehydrated and mature skin are in desperate need of high quality Hyaluronic Acid to intensely hydrate and retain moisture at the deeper levels of their skin cells, while restoring the barrier damage. Watch your skin regain plumpness while fine lines and wrinkles are reduced for a youthful dewy look.

Hyaluronic acid is available in a number of skincare products. Whether it’s a serum, a Toner/Mist or a mask, make sure to incorporate it in your facial routine, especially as the colder winter months are approaching!
