Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found in the human body, but over the years its concentration in the body decreases. As a result, the skin loses its vitality and youthful appearance.
The lack of hyaluronic acid begins to give its effects on the skin starting from the appearance of light wrinkles or those of mimicry, then deep wrinkles are created (in the lateral area of the chin) and the contours of the face, which become more highlighted.
Expectations and reality; deception of the cosmetics industry
For any woman who is in her 25s and sees the first wrinkles on her face looking for a product to stop them or eventually remove them. For this, dermatologists advise products that contain hyaluronic acid.
The cosmetics and skin care industry hides a lot of truth and promises a lot to achieve big sales.
There is a lot of talk these days about hyaluronic acid, saying that if you use a cream with a high percentage of it, you can stop wrinkles and minimize what you have. But how can a cream stop a biological process like aging ?!
Hyaluronic acid molecules are too large to be absorbed and difficult to absorb deeply by the skin. The effect of hyaluronic acid is rather external as it moisturizes the skin on the surface and is a temporary effect.
Hyaluronic acid is advisable for dry skin which needs a lot of hydration.
So hyaluronic acid does not serve to remove or stop wrinkles, but to hydrate the skin.
How to use products that contain hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid can be found in cosmetic products such as serum or moisturizer with a certain percentage of it. But all women should know that the positive effects can turn into undesirable if the products with this acid are not used properly.
If you apply a serum with hyaluronic acid to dry skin, you are not doing any good to the latter just by damaging it. If you are dehydrated and the air around you is dry, the acid will draw moisture from the nearest source (i.e. from the deepest layers of your skin) instead of pulling it away from the environment around you. In short, your skin will feel even drier.
But what is the right way to use hyaluronic acid?
Always apply hyaluronic acid to moist skin and immediately apply moisturizer on your face! If you have applied it incorrectly so far, this is why the acid did not give the result you expected.
