You are in: Main Page / Medical articles / Skin / Hyaluronic Acid
Have you noticed new wrinkles on your face? Instead of worrying, search for cosmetics with hyaluronic acid which soothe skin. Hyaluronic acid is an ideal way to fight with wrinkles.
Toddlers have plenty of this crucial substance, that is why their skin is smooth and elastic. The amount of hyaluronic acid in the organism is gradually lower with time - after 40 we have half of the amount children have. Regular moisturizing helps to slow down the processes of loosing this substance and as a result, postponing creation of first wrinkles. What should we do when they finally appear? Go for hyaluronic acid in cosmetics or injections. Check what your skin needs.
Skin condition assessment
Look at your face in the morning when it's rested and after a good sleep. If the creases created by pillows have not disappeared and you see the wrinkles in the eye corners and in the forehead you should start using cosmetics which moisturize skin more intensively and regenerate it more thoroughly. You should do that as well if your answer sounds yes to some of these questions.
- do you happen to go sleeping in full make-up?
- do you use face cream without UV filers?
- do you take every opportunity to sunbathe, do you use solar beds?
- do you drink less than 1.5-2 liters of water, fruit juice, tea a day?
- do you eat irregularly or in a hurry (ready-made meals, fatty meals)?
- are you obese?
- are you in constant stress?
- do you smoke or spend lots of time with people who smoke?
- do you drink a lot of alcohol?
- do you sleep less than you should?
Sun, cigarettes, alcohol, stress and lack of regenerating sleep favor creation of free radicals. Fortunately, the fight against them and against their devastating effects is easier thank to hyaluronic acid products.
How it works
Its most important advantage is the ability to absorb large amounts of water. It can absorb twice as much as it weighs. Hyaluronic acid has a form of dense and transparent liquid. It stores collagen and elastin fibers responsible for skin's elasticity. On the other hand, on the surface hyalurone forms a thin, invisible and elastic layer which blocks water from getting out of the deep skin tissue. The stronger the surface, the softer and more well-toned skin is. Hyalurone quickens the skin tissue regeneration, strengthens its protective properties and fights with free radicals.
Where to find it?
In creams, face masks, anti-stretch marks lotions, products for delicate skin around eyes and anti-cellulite products hyalurone is used as a carrier of active elements or firming moisturizer. Although it doesn't get deep into the skin, thank to its consistency it binds water in skin tissue and prevents from its vaporing from deep layers. Such creams can be used in all seasons of the year.
