Why Is Hyaluronic Acid So Good For Your Skin? . #repost @injection_gal ・・・ What the heck is Hyaluronic Acid (other than the key ingredient in many dermal fillers)? So what is hyaluronic acid exactly, and how does it work? Hyaluronic acid is a lubricating, clear substance that’s produced by the body naturally. In the human body, hyaluronic acid is found in the greatest concentrations in the skin, inside joints, within the eye sockets and in other tissues where it helps retain collagen, increase moisture, and provide elasticity and flexibility. The substance works as a magnet for moisture, helping your cells retain as much of it as possible so that your skin feels and appears hydrated, plump and healthy. Now for the science-y bit. Just a single gram of Hyaluronic Acid has the impressive ability to hold up to six (yep, six) litres of water. Add to that, a super smart ability to regulate that moisture within the cells, so as not to drown them and you've got one genius ingredient. If your skin isn't already lapping up the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid, this is why it should be: 1. If skin is sufficiently hydrated, it feels super-soft, plump and pillowy and looks so much more radiant. See ya, Insta-filter. 2. When skin is hydrated, lines and wrinkles (even the deeper ones) appear diminished, so it is a great ingredient for those with ageing skin who are desperate to cling on to their youthful glow. 3. Recent research suggests that Hyaluronic Acid also has antioxidant properties, which means it can act like a shield against free radicals we aren't in control of, like pollution and other aggressors. Just a few great reasons to say, "yes please" to those beautiful hydrated lips👄💋 . . #injection_gal #themoreyouknow #beautygeek #hyluronicacid #juvederm #buythelips #keyingredient #youth #nursepractitioner #knowledgeispower #dermalfiller #buythelips #renoaesthetics #aesthetics #reno #sparks #carsoncity #southlaketahoe #dermatology #renodermatology https://www.instagram.com/p/B9iygyUHVLh/?igshid=12af3l6dn7orx
