Let's Talk Skin Care Ingredients: Why I Love Hyaluronic Acid

This post is going to be a partial rave post. I love, love, love this ingredient for many reasons! But when people see "acid" as part of a name for a skin care ingredient they tend to freak out! This type of acid is not like glycolic or salycilic acids, it does not perform an exfoliating action, instead it is best used for hydration!

Many anti-ageing products will have Hyaluronic acid for its plumping effect. It can give a youthful glow and fullness to otherwise slackening skin and It is wonderful for dehydrated and dry skin types because it is a water binder, which is the main reason it "plumps" the dermis.

I love this ingredient in serums because they penetrate down into the deeper layers of the dermis to pull water up to the epidermis while pulling the moisture from your day or night cream to the dermis. This is what creates that plumping effect, water is gathered and held in the middle so moisture is not lost as quickly from the skin.

Literally every skin type can benefit from this ingredient because each skin type is dehydrated, and most often when you correct dehydration and add the proper moisture most skin problems tend to correct themselves. Of course with help from your Esthetician you skin will be good as new even quicker!
