Hyaluronic Acid In Skin
Hyaluronic Acid has become one of my favorite ingredients because of its powerful benefits and because it is multi-functional. If you didn’t know, Hyaluronic Acid naturally occurs in the body and helps us to move our joints, and also helps to lubricate our eyes. In addition, it naturally occurs in our connective tissue to hold water so our tissues will be well lubricated and moist. In addition, Hyaluronic Acid binds to water to help retain moisture.
How Does Hyaluronic Acid Work?
Hyaluronic Acid molecules are like little tiny sponges that attract water into themselves. So picture how a sponge will soak up water; that is how Hyaluronic Acid behaves. When you apply Hyaluronic Acid to your skin, the product (molecules) goes into the second layer of your skin, and it begins to attract water from your body and your environment. The water binds to the molecules, and the molecules, in turn, begin to cause a plumping effect in the skin. Thus, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and keeping the skin hydrated and supple.
In addition, the molecules hold up to 1000x their weight in water. Environmental damage decreases its amount in the body, so you need to replenish it.
