HYALURONIC ACID. WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT'S USED FOR, AND ITS BENEFITS

If you've ever wondered what hyaluronic acid is and its benefits, it's probably because you're thinking of including it in your beauty routine.

Well, you're right to, because it's one of the most well-known anti-aging active ingredients in the cosmetics world. And it's no wonder, since it's been on everyone's lips lately, but what makes hyaluronic acid such a special component?

 

WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID?

Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan. Quite a mouthful, isn't it? It is a substance found naturally in numerous tissues and organs of our body: epidermis, connective tissue, cartilage...

One of the most beneficial properties of hyaluronic acid is its ability to equally retain and attract water.

This ensures that tissues are in good condition. Precisely the power of hyaluronic acid to retain water is what has made it a must in cosmetics, aesthetic medicine, and nutricosmetics, because yes, it can be ingested orally, but we will tell you more about that below.

 

FUNCTIONS OF HYALURONIC ACID

The aging process in our body progressively decreases with the years, as a consequence the skin loses that desired hydration, elasticity and firmness.

Consequences? It becomes flaccid and wrinkles appear, which starts to be a problem. However, aging is something we should not fear as it is a natural process and, for now, no one has been able to discover the potion of eternal youth... but if you can age in the best possible way, better, right?

The ability of hyaluronic acid to retain moisture is of great importance for treating aging.

When our skin is young, this wonderful hydration is easier to maintain, as our skin absorbs water like a sponge and is able to maintain an optimal moisture balance, which provides volume, reduces wrinkles, and blurs expression lines.

Over time, the natural production of hyaluronic acid begins to decline, especially from the age of 35, which leads to a loss of firmness and volume in our skin.

Therefore, it is a great rejuvenating component and a must-have in your beauty routine checklist.

HOW IS HYALURONIC ACID APPLIED?

 

· Creams

 The hyaluronic acid molecule is used in cosmetics for various purposes, one of which is superficial hydration, due to its ability to retain water. It is very common nowadays for any anti-aging formula to contain hyaluronic acid.

The current trend is to include hyaluronic acid in serums, boosters or ampoules with the aim of rehydrating and adding volume to the skin after moments of stress, sun exposure or an aggressive aesthetic treatment.

 

 

· Fillers and infiltrations

In the field of medical/aesthetic rejuvenation treatments, hyaluronic acid has burst in and made its way dramatically with different actions: providing volume, correcting lips, smoothing nasolabial folds, or simply providing an extra touch of radiance to the skin.

 

Drank/pills

Exactly, hyaluronic acid can also be drunk (or ingested), this is due to nutricosmetics, and if you still don't know what it is, we've left a great blog here for you.

It is ideal for improving the natural state of the skin, and furthermore, if it is formulated with other components such as collagen, vitamin C or minerals, it becomes an incredible rejuvenating potion.

Hyaluronic acid helps you to reduce wrinkles, combat dehydration, provide luminosity and even overcome fatigue and tiredness.

ARE ALL HYALURONIC ACIDS THE SAME?

No, they are not all the same! Currently there are different types of hyaluronic acid and different ways of application.

It can be categorized according to its molecular weight, so we distinguish two types:

• High molecular weight
• Low molecular weight

The difference is the weight of the molecule.

The term high molecular weight hyaluronic acid refers to the type used in the manufacture of various cosmetics in the beauty world, usually found in creams. What is its function? To protect the outer layer of our skin, as it is not able to penetrate deeply.

As for low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, with the previous term, this one is capable of penetrating our skin more deeply, even reaching the inner layers, because these molecules are smaller in size.
