Hyaluronic Acid - Refresh Your Skin

Hyaluronic Acid, wrap your tongue around that lol, sounds scary too.

But its not scary at all. its actually naturally occuring in the skin so there are no harmful side effects. Hyaluronic acid has a number of natural uses and as well as holding onto water in the skin it

• assists with wound healing
• helps repair damaged skin
• acts as an antioxidant to protect skin from damaging molecules called free radicals.

in skincare Hyaluronic acid is a substance that holds onto water and helps keep the skin hydrated. It can't turn back the signs of aging but it certainly helps the skin retain moisture. 

Its another element that naturally reduces as we age. Like Collagen production its something we need to use to keep up at its former levels. 

Almost half of the body’s hyaluronic acid is found in skin. But its also found in 

• bones
• cartilage
• tendons
• ligaments
• lips

It can “hold 1,000 times its weight in water,” explains cosmetic chemist Vanessa Thomas, adding that it binds to water molecules to retain moisture in the skin and joints.

Its mainly know for its Skincare exploits, and is a very common ingredient now in most skincare products.
