The Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid in Skincare

What exactly is hyaluronic acid? Well, besides being a benefit in skincare, it is found in our bodies. Hyaluronic acid is actually something that we already have in our bodies. It is found in our joints and in the fluid in our eyes! It is something that provides a cushion in our bodies and helps to protect them.

So, let’s look at it in terms of how it benefits skincare. This is something that over the past couple of years has been an essential ingredient in the anti-aging skin care world. Hyaluronic acid is found in different skincare products and when applied, it helps to plump your skin, which in turn, minimizes the signs of aging.

I always joke about getting Botox in a bottle and when I heard about hyaluronic acid, I just did not think it was for real. My first adventure with hyaluronic acid was when Neutrogena gifted me with their entire hydroboost line. I looked at it and thought, there is no way. Then I used it, I am now a firm believer in its qualities. I love the hydroboost lotion! It keeps my skin so soft and moisturized and I don’t have to apply a great deal to get this benefit. I then tried the foundation and was hooked! I loved the look and feel of my skin while using this! It was such a light coverage and my skin did not feel heavy with it on. I even have the mascara and the lipgloss, which is nothing short of fun for the summer! When I use the makeup and lipgloss, I do notice a little plump that helps to minimize my lines and those small signs of aging we have.

I tried hyaluronic in these products and then I was gifted some skincare from Exuviance. This skincare was something that literally sat on my shelf for at least a month after I received it and then I decided to try it. I was doing a little reading and research on hyaluronic acid and its benefits in beauty products and I just knew it was time for me to take the plunge and see what they did. I must say, I am very pleased. I know that it takes at least 30 days to use them and I am close to that mark, but I can see a difference in my skin upon using them. It just glows and shines and seems to have a bouncy feel, if that makes any sense at all! It is not a drastic difference, but definitely a subtle one that gives me some confidence because those signs of aging have been showing!

While hyaluronic acid is something that is currently in our bodies, its benefits for our skin are something that we should be including each and every day! I do believe that if used for a period of time, the benefits it will provide will show a great deal more!! Hyaluronic acid seems to be everywhere, so if my products are not what you are looking for, I am sure you can find it in your own favorites.

Later!
