Hyaluronic Acid 101
Hyaluronic acid often confuses people since it contains the word “acid” in the name; people think acid and they think dry stripped skin when, in reality, hyaluronic acid does the complete opposite. Below we break down the who, what, when, where and why of H.A. and, trust us, you will want to add to cart immediately.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT…
OVERALL CLINICAL DATA ON SPECIFIC INGREDIENT(S) & HOW THEY FUNCTION:
WHO SHOULD USE HYALURONIC ACID?
One of the best things about hyaluronic acid is that it’s safe for all skin types, and especially those with dry and/or sensitive skin.
WHAT EXACTLY IS HYALURONIC ACID?
Naturally occurring in the skin, hyaluronic acid binds water to collagen which, in turn, gives your skin that dewy, plump, super-hydrated look and feel. Essentially hyaluronic acid increases hydration in the skin and keeps your face looking full, moisturized and fresh.
WHEN DO YOU USE HYALURONIC ACID?
Any time, but winter weather and skin conditions can especially cause damage to the skin’s protective barriers, allowing water to escape and dehydration to occur! Adding a boost of hyaluronic acid to your skincare regimen is always a good idea but definitely a must during harsher weather times.
WHERE DO YOU USE HYALURONIC ACID?
The face specifically loses its natural hyaluronic acid the fastest, but in recent years, we’ve also seen brands come out with hyaluronic acid body products and we say YES to any product that keeps your skin healthy and hydrated.
WHY SHOULD I USE HYALURONIC ACID?
Hyaluronic acid and collagen levels naturally deplete as we age, which makes the skin lose elasticity and become dehydrated. Adding hyaluronic acid to your daily skincare regimen will give you a boost of hydration that will make your face feel and look fuller and fresh.
