This season one of the biggest beauty trends is natural and glowing skin, the foundation of which is a good skincare routine. Skincare experts Rabia Malik and Preema Vig suggest that exfoliation and increasing hyaluronic acid in your skin can show great results, reports femalefirst.co.uk. Malik says that one can begin with some gentle exfoliation as this will ensure removal of surface debris from the skin.
'Following exfoliation, increase your skin's level of hyaluronic aid to achieve a more luminous, brighter complexion. This can be achieved with topicals that contain high levels of molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Try using homecare products that contain peptides too as these help to achieve a brighter complexion,' said Malik. (Read: How to get flawless skin without dark spots and patches)
Vig feels that hyaluronic acid helps to plump the skin and so does the intake of vitamin A. 'Vitamin A increases the skin cell cycle which brings new skin cells to the surface. Vitamin C helps in lightening, brightening and tightening the skin. Fruit acids at night exfoliate the top layer of skin,' said Vig. (Read: 10 fruits and vegetables for glowing skin )
Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid which is a part of the collagen structure of the skin that gives it its firmness. This collagen is lost with age and when this important structure in the skin is lost, it tends to droop and sag. Dermal filler injections containing hyaluronic acid are used to replenish lost volume by plumping and filling up the depressions and folds. The molecule absorbs water and lifts the skin giving a more youthful, radiant look. (Read more about Beat ageing and dryness with hydration dermal fillers)
