Hyaluronic acid (HA) - The ultimate champion in moisturizing and nourishing the skin for a plump appearance
Hyaluronic acid is hailed as a "superstar" by beauty enthusiasts due to its remarkable moisturizing ability. With its exceptional water-retaining properties, it can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. This not only provides hydration for a plump and smooth complexion but also contributes to anti-aging effects. Let's delve into more details about this magical ingredient with Vacure:treat!
1/ What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a natural glycosaminoglycan found in the body's connective tissues. It plays a crucial role in maintaining skin stability, protection, and continuous regeneration, all of which are vital for youthful-looking skin.
The human body contains approximately 15 grams of HA, with one-third of it being utilized daily. The production of HA is automatically replenished through specific enzymes. However, as time passes, the concentration of HA in the skin gradually decreases, starting from around the age of 20 and accelerating after the age of 40. This decline can be attributed to both natural aging processes (intrinsic aging) and external environmental factors (extrinsic aging), such as UV rays. As a result, the skin experiences reduced firmness, dryness, and faster signs of aging. To maintain skin firmness and youthfulness, supplementing HA becomes essential.
2/ How does it work?
Hyaluronic acid acts as a hydrophilic substance, resembling a sponge that can absorb and retain moisture 500-1000 times its original weight. This unique property allows it to gather moisture from the surrounding environment and deeper layers of the skin, resulting in hydrated, smooth, and plump skin.
