Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid for the Skin

Hyaluronic acid is a natural element in our body that offers countless benefits for the skin. That is why it has become an essential step in any daily facial routine. We explain everything you need to know about hyaluronic acid and more in the following post. Read on!

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a component that occurs naturally in our body, especially in the skin, joints and cartilage, where it performs different functions depending on the area:

• Skin: it works as a moisturising and rejuvenating agent.
• Joints: it helps prevent painful friction.
• Cartilage: it has rebuilding properties.

What happens is that, over the years, this active ingredient gradually decreases in the body. That is why its use is recommended from around the age of 25-26.

Types of hyaluronic acid

• Cross-linked: it has a dense texture, like a gel, which means it offers greater durability, usually estimated at 6 to 9 months.
• Non-cross-linked: it comes in liquid form and therefore lasts less time than the previous type, around 3 months.

Benefits and properties

• It provides moisturising benefits. This ingredient retains and attracts water in the epidermis, helping keep the skin in good condition. Thanks to it, we can enjoy more hydrated and flexible skin.
• It helps control the skin's moisture levels and provides a long-lasting effect, thanks to its humectant properties.
• It smooths skin texture.
• It has rejuvenating properties by stimulating collagen production: it helps plump wrinkles, offers several antioxidant benefits and helps prevent visible signs of ageing such as dark spots, fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation problems. As a result, hyaluronic acid is a great ally for combating premature ageing.
• It supports cell renewal. This ingredient helps remove dead cells and create new layers to fight environmental damage and pollution that affect the skin.
• It helps prevent excess oil production in the skin and the appearance of acne breakouts.
