What are the Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA), is a substance that is naturally produced by your body. HA is able to hold up to 1,000 times its molecular weight in water. Hyaluronic acid penetrates the skin and binds water to skin cells, and infuses all layers of the skin with rejuvenating moisture. After infusing the the skin with valuable moisture, hyaluronic acid acts as a humectant and continues to draw moisture in from the surrounding environment. Providing long lasting hydration for the skin. Roughly half of the hyaluronic acid in your body is present in your skin, where it bonds to water to help skin retain moisture.
If you want your skin to be hydrated, think Hyaluronic Acid; Hydration = Hyaluronic Acid.
Hydrated skin reduces the appearance of wrinkles, which may explain why several studies show that supplementing with it can make skin appear smoother and tighter. This will result in a silky smooth finish you can see and feel. When HA is applied to the surface of the skin in serums and moisturizers, it can reduce wrinkles, redness and dermatitis.
Although HA is naturally produced, the epidermis (top layer of the skin) unfortunately takes the majority of outside toxins. As we age, the lipid barrier (fatty acids that trap in water and prevent irritants entering the skin) in the epidermis slows down. Everything from UV rays, to environmental pollution, to lifestyle choices (like smoking) cause damage. This damage results in more fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and drier skin. Hyaluronic Acid fortifies the skin’s natural barriers to help lock moisture in for an even more dramatic hydrating effect. Over time, this can help slow down the the deterioration of the lipid barrier and help protect and fortify it.
Hyaluronic Acid helps reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles retaining moisture to the skin, creating a plumping effect. When the skin is protected and hydrated, increased skin cell production can take place, as the skin isn’t busy fighting for hydration. This leads to smoother, plumper skin cells.
When oily skin is stripped of hydration it in turn will begin to overcompensate to hydrate the skin by producing oil. A big misconception is that oily and acne prone skins don’t need hydration, but in fact, they do. By promoting proper moisture balance in the skin, hyaluronic acid will prevent the over-production of oil that clogs pores and causes breakouts.
While it won’t speed up the cell renewal process, hyaluronic acid does help promote skin cell regeneration by offering extra hydration and barrier protection to the skin. This naturally leads to healthier skin cells and a more vibrant complexion.
