The Importance of Hyaluronic Acid in Skincare

Hyaluronic acid is one of the top 3 ingredients I always look for in my skincare. As we age we lose this naturally from our skin and its about replacing it in our moisturisers and serums if we want to retain the glow and plumpness in our skin.

Firstly what is hyaluronic acid? Well it is a slippery substance that our body produces throughout our body, mostly in eyes, joints and skin . It helps things to move smoothly ie. our joints, it helps to keep things hydrated ie. our eyes and it helps keep things flexible ie. our skin .

As we age our skin lines and this is due in part to the loss of hyaluronic acid production . You can take a supplement internally , inject it or you can apply this topically to your skin to help reduce the fine lines and wrinkles.

It holds up to 1000 times its weight in water which is why this is such a great ingredient for improving overall skin flexibility and elasticity. For me, this means that it is a MUST in a skincare routine as we age.
