Hyaluronic Acid is quietly and confidently become a staple ingredient in beauty products including lipsticks, foundations super serums and moisturisers. Here’s why you shouldn’t be put off by the name.
Despite its somewhat scientific guise, it’s a substance naturally produced by our own bodies which lubricates joints, nerves, hair, skin and eyes, and also preserves moisture. Incredibly, it can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. It acts like a sponge, drawing moisture from the air as well as from lower layers of the skin, and delivering it to the epidermis.
Sadly for us, as we get older, our bodies produce less of this wonder molecule which is why supplementing with beauty products is key. Especially if you want to maintain moisture, and ultimately ensure you have dewy, hydrated skin.
Its ability to retain moisture is almost unparalleled which makes it perfect for anti-aging, skin-plumping products. And because Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is natural, it also happens to be suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin, so it really is user-friendly for everyone.
With Dubai’s changing climes and AC culture, our skin is more often than not left craving moisture, so it’s worth investing.
