Over the last ten years, Hyaluronic Acid has become very popular in skincare, but in effect it is a large sugar molecule that is naturally produced in large quantities by the body. It acts as a humectant, enabling the skin to retain water, thus keeping it hydrated.
When darker skin is dry and dehydrated, it has a tendency to appear dull and grey. Hyaluronic Acid is a great supporting ingredient for radiant looking skin.
Ageing naturally depletes Hyaluronic Acid in the body and this can lead to dry skin, wrinkles and loss of shape and volume underneath the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid can be applied topically to the skin in a gel or cream. However, not all hyaluronic acid is created equally, so it’s important to ensure you select a ‘low molecular’ weight hyaluronic acid for optimum beneficial effect.
It can also be injected into the skin as a filler to soften lines and wrinkles, tighten skin and encourage improved hydration.
