Hyaluronic Acid : Everything You Need To Know

-

Hyaluronic acid is a vital component of your skin's health. It is important for keeping your skin hydrated, robust, and capable of insulating your body's organs from the outside world since it helps your skin retain moisture. It can hold 1,000 times its weight in water! That's how good it is.


Hyaluronic acid is a lubricating, strong, and healthy chemical that your body utilizes to keep your skin and connective tissue lubricated, strong, and healthy. It  is present naturally in your body in amounts ranging from 10 to 20 g, with around half of it being stored in your skin.

Dehydrated skin might seem washed out and less elastic. The quantity of hyaluronic acid generated by your body decreases as we get older. This decrease in hyaluronic acid synthesis, as well as other components like collagen, impairs the texture and suppleness of your skin, leading to wrinkles and other aging-related problems.

How does Hyaluronic Acid benefit our skin?

Hyaluronic acid has a number of functions in skincare. It helps to a smooth, firm, and plump appearance by keeping your skin moisturized and healthy. Applying a hyaluronic acid-based cream, gel, serum, to your entire face in the morning and evening can benefit your skin in a number of ways. Let's move on to the benefits of hyaluronic acid in skin care.


1. Strengthens the Skin Protective Barrier

Hyaluronic acid  a vital component of your skin's tissue that helps you stay young. It works to give your skin a younger appearance by hydrating the outer layers of your skin, distributing vital nutrients, and stabilizing the collagen and elastin in your skin. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

2. Hydrates without Clogging Pores

Hyaluronic acid is  perfect for oily or acne prone skin. Yes, we want our oily skin to stay hydrated, but not at the expense of our pores being blocked. Hyaluronic acid is non-comedogenic, it hydrates without clogging pores, so it's suitable for oily or acne-prone skin.

3. Antioxidant Properties

Hyaluronic acid helps your skin's collagen and elastin, which are frequently destroyed by UV radiation and other environmental factors. It can eliminate free radicals that damage proteins, lipids, and DNA in the skin when exposed to the sun. It provides modest UV protection, so be sure to apply sunscreen daily after moisturizing.

4. Hydrates and Plumps your Skin

Hyaluronic acid has a remarkable ability to bind water. Hyaluronic acid moisturizes your skin from the outside in by absorbing moisture from the air and binding it to your skin. Moreover, hyaluronic acid “plumps” your skin, making it seem younger and more radiant by reducing “epidermis water loss” caused by ageing, sun exposure, winter dryness, or flakiness.

5. Reduction in Inflammation

In wound healing, hyaluronic acid plays a crucial function. It's normally found in the skin, but when it's damaged, its concentration rises. It is approved by the FDA to treat various types of dermatitis, including atopic dermatitis (eczema) and allergic contact dermatitis, in its topical form.

6. Doesn't react Negatively

Hyaluronic acid is compatible with a wide range of other ingredients, including vitamins, other acids, retinol, and peels. However, low-pH acids, such as glycolic acid, may reduce the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid.

Step 1 - Cleanser

Step 2 - Toner 

Step 3 - Hyaluronic Acid Serum (day and night)

Step 4 - Treatment serum

Step 5 - Moisturizer

Step 6 - Sunscreen

Note - If not serum then, use a moisturizer which has hyaluronic acid.

Wait! I know you're ready to get your hands on this wonderful serum, but there are some important things to keep in mind when using Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

1. Applying twice a day is essential to keeping your skin fully hydrated. 

2. In dry regions, avoid using hyaluronic acid since it can dehydrate your skin by dragging moisture from the deeper layers of your skin into the epidermis.

3. Retinol, Vitamin C, are just a few of the skin care ingredients that perform well with hyaluronic acid. As a result, you won't have to modify the rest of your routine.

4. The  common names used to identify hyaluronic acid on an ingredient list are HA, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate.

5. It can take up to 6 weeks of consistent, topical use of hyaluronic acid before you begin to see improvements.
