Hyaluronic acid: the elixir of youth for your skin?
Hyaluronic acid is undoubtedly one of the most popular and sought-after ingredients in cosmetics today. Naturally present in our bodies, it is particularly appreciated for its moisturizing and anti-aging properties.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our bodies, notably in the skin, joints and eyes. It has the ability to retain up to a thousand times its weight in water, giving it exceptional moisturizing properties.
The benefits of hyaluronic acid in cosmetics
- Intense hydration: Hyaluronic acid draws water to the upper layers of the epidermis, plumping skin and reducing fine dehydration lines.
- Anti-ageing effect: By improving the skin's elasticity and firmness, hyaluronic acid helps reduce the signs of cutaneous ageing.
- Skin protection: It forms a protective film on the skin's surface, shielding it from external aggressors such as pollution and UV rays.
- Skin repair: Hyaluronic acid promotes healing and repair of skin tissue.
How to choose hyaluronic acid products?
Several forms of hyaluronic acid exist, each with slightly different properties:
- High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid: Remains on the skin's surface to form a moisturizing film.
- Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid: it penetrates deeper into the skin and has a more intense plumping effect.
To choose the product best suited to your needs, it's advisable to take into account your skin type and the problems you wish to treat. Don't hesitate to ask a beauty professional for advice.
