Hyaluronic Acid – My Elixir of Youth. Use, Properties & Effects

Hi, there!

I’ve been using hyaluronic acid for a few years now. I use its pure form mixed with other products e.g. vitamin C serum. Effects? You’ll find out after reading the post. I’ll also tell you when I apply the acid and what benefits it delivers. Enjoy!

What is hyaluronic acid?

The substance is found in both bacteria and humans. It has the ability to bind collagen fibres and soothe inflammation. Do you know that one gramme of hyaluronic acid can bind six litres of water? There’s no risk for irritation while using the substance. Pregnancy, breastfeeding and autoimmune diseases are the only contraindications to the hyaluronic acid injections. Where can you start using the acid? Preferably, after turning 25 when the level of hyaluronic acid gets lower.

What’s the point of using hyaluronic acid? What are the effects?

Hyaluronic acid – both in form of injections and regular products – improves skin hydration and firmness. It makes wrinkles less visible, eliminates blemishes and reduces under-eye dark circles and puffiness. Hyaluronic acid treatments shape the face, enhance its oval and even work for a nose job. Hyaluronic acid-enriched products bring superficial effects – lock in water, add smoothness and elasticity.

How to use hyaluronic acid?

You can apply it separately and directly to skin or mix it with other cosmetics. It works amazing as a serum or an additive of a day cream. The acid ensures great effects when you mix it with a cosmetic oil or other emollients. You can add it to hair masks, shampoos, conditioners and many other products.

Do you also use hyaluronic acid? Maybe you have some other ways to keep your skin young and wrinkle-free?
