What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that’s already present in our body. Its main purpose is to provide moisture for our skin. Naturally, the concentration of hyaluronic acid in our body decreases over time. At the very beginning of our lives, the presence of hyaluronic acid in our body is the highest. That’s why all babies look so bubbly and soft. As the years go by we lose moisture and elasticity. However, thanks to modern skincare products, it’s possible to put this precious substance back where it belongs. And if you thought that was all, hyaluronic acid is also used in medicne due to it’s extremly healthy effects.
Why is hyaluronic acid so effective?
The power of hyaluronic acid lies in its ability to soak up excess moisture, up to a thousand times its weight. Just as a sponge absorbs water. This makes the skin elastic, soft, hydrated and firm. Hyaluronic acid is basically a magnet for moisture, which is why its anti aging effects are a must have.
When should you start using hyaluronic acid?
The most common misunderstanding is that hyaluronic products are only for mature skin. Hyaluronic creams can and should be used as soon as you hit the 20’s mark. Why? Well, mostly because our skin starts losing hyaluronic acid storages during early childhood, which is why it’s important to stay one step ahead. Plus, hyaluronic products will help your skin stay elastic, hydrated, fresh, and young, and who wouldn’t want that?
Are there more types of hyaluronic acid?
There are several types of hyaluronic acids in our body. Out of which there are two types that are very important for the health of our skin
- macro hyaluronic acid – helps hydrate and smooth the skin
- micro hyaluronic acid – micro hyaluronic acid penetrates the epidermis of the skin and restores its brightness.
Can I use hyaluronic acid products all the time?
Once you start using products with hyaluronic acid, only the sky is the limit. Use them every day, morning and evening & several times a day if needed. Be careful and choose products depending on your skin type and the rest will follow.
However, we tend to get too tired before going to give our skin the care it needs. But those few minutes can and most certainly will mean a lot for the beauty and youth of your skin.
How long should I wait for the results of using hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid creams usually give results right away, followed by an impression of freshness and radiance. But, if you want it to work on the deeper layers of the skin, you’ll have to master something called patience, so yes, it does takes time. However, as you already know, patience is a virtue, so keep using your hyaluronic acid products and the effect will become visible over time.
