Why is Hyaluronic Acid a Winner in Skin Care?
With the snow falling and the temperatures dropping, our skin takes a major hit. These hits come in the form of drier, flaky, redness and a feeling of tightness (not the good firm tightness we all seek).
Why does our skin suffer in this environment? As winter settles in, there is less moisture in the air and we find ourselves cranking up the heat in our cars and homes (we may even warm up by soaking in a hot bath). Although this might sound like a perfect way to find our winter cozy place, our skin on our body and face suffer.
Here’s my remedy for keeping the skin healthy and beautiful all winter long: moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid. This powerful humectant is found throughout the body but is especially concentrated in the skin. Unfortunately, as we age, it declines. Using products with hyaluronic acid will do does wonders for the skin by holding and drawing water to the skin.
One molecule of hyaluronic acid holds a thousand molecules of water! Due to its high water-binding capacity, it acts as a hydrating agent and space filler. It supports collagen and elastin by keeping them nourished and moist. Best of all it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles while keeping the skin smooth, soft and supple.
If you notice a change in your skin during the winter months, make sure that hyaluronic acid is listed as one of the first ingredients in your moisturizer. Your skin will thank you!
