Behold the ultimate hydrator: hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a form of sugar naturally found in our bodies. While you may know hyaluronic acid for its ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in water, this superstar hydrator is lauded for its ability to keep skin smooth, moist and plump, and joints well lubricated. But that’s not all. It is essential for keeping our joints pliable and our muscles limber. It even plays a role in eye health.
Our body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, but as we age and environmental damage becomes more apparent, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body begins to dip. The result: changes in the skin, like wrinkles, dryness, and dullness.
Acting as a moisture magnet, the acid helps to regulate moisture within the cells. It also:
1. Leaves skin feeling soft to the touch, plump, pillowy and healthy
2. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
3. Is compatible with all skin types, even the most sensitive ones
4. Has antioxidant benefits to safeguard the skin
