The Wonders of Hyaluronic Acid

When we see the word “acid” our brain automatically thinks, peeling, but that’s far from the case with this powerful ingredient. 

Hyaluronic acid is a Humectant which means it pulls in moisture making it essential for hydration and tissue repair. Believe it or not, it naturally exists in the skin, however, as we age, the rate in which it is produced decreases making it harder for our skin to hydrate itself naturally. 

Hyaluronic acid gives the gift of youth by plumping up the skin, which is why it is used in fillers. It it is also an antioxidant that protects from free radical damage that can age the skin faster. Not only that but, you can apply it to your hair to combat dryness, brittleness and frizz.

So what exactly can it be used for? 

• Dehydrated skin: Hyaluronic acid can attract and retain a remarkable amount of water that can largely replenish skin.
• Oily skin: It is a non-oily hydrator that doesn’t clog pores or leave a greasy layer on the skin.
• Aged skin: The moisture plumps up the skin making fine lines and wrinkles look instantaneously less visible.
• Damaged hair: Hyaluronic acid helps condition hair to make it soft, shiny and healthy.
• Dry lips: It prevents cracks and irritation that result from dry skin for a softer, smoother pout.

Whether you mix it with lip balm, body products or use it on your hair, this miracle molecule is an absolute game changer for your skincare and haircare routines.
