Have you heard of hyaluronic acid? The new buzzword in the beauty industry is all the rage right now. For the unversed, it is a naturally occurring chemical in the human body. The largest quantities are seen in the fluids of the eyes and joints. The hyaluronic acid used in medicine is taken from rooster combs or produced in the laboratory by bacteria.
Hyaluronic acid is the holy grail of skincare that is believed you give you hydrated and smooth skin. It can be mixed with other skincare products, and you can apply it for a long-lasting effect. But there is so much information available on the internet that it can sometimes be confusing. So, here are some dos and don’ts you should keep in mind while using hyaluronic acid.
While it is considered one of the best products for your skin, it can be tricky for people with dry skin. When you apply hyaluronic acid to a dry face, it can actually take moisture from deeper layers of your skin, causing more harm than good and leaving you are skintight and uncomfortable. It is a problem that frequently happens when humidity levels are exceptionally low, implying that there isn't enough moisture in the air.
When using hyaluronic acid, it is critical to use a moisturiser. If the skin is already dry and HA is included in a formula, it will not provide moisture to the skin. When used in conjunction with a moisturiser, it seals moisture into the skin.
If there is no humidity in the air, hyaluronic acid will draw moisture from anywhere it can find it to hydrate the surface of your face, including the deeper layers of your skin. To put it another way, too much hyaluronic acid can dehydrate skin and make dehydration lines appear more prominent.
