Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced in your body (your fact for the day). When it comes to hyaluronic acid in skincare, people automatically think that it comes in a serum bottle. Surprisingly though, it can come in the form of a supplement. Personally, the serum is the better option.
The main function of hyaluronic acid is to retain water to keep your skin lubricated and moisturised. It's a good investment if you feel you have dry skin. Hyaluronic acid is a perfect investment for your winter skincare. You know what it's like, the Winter comes around and your skin starts to feel as dry as sandpaper. So hyaluronic acid is just a godsend during the winter months!
I started implementing hyaluronic acid into my skincare routine a few weeks ago and I have definitely noticed a difference in how my skin feels. My skin now feels incredibly supple, smoother and moisturised. There are so many benefits to using this acid in your skincare routine -
Hyaluronic acid helps with -
- Anti-ageing
- Moisturising skin
- Reduces wrinkles
- Treat facial redness
There are other benefits to using it, but the benefits I've listed above are the main ones for me.
Now I've incorporated hyaluronic acid into my skincare routine, I won't let it leave my skincare routine, like, ever. It has been so beneficial for my skin and I wish to god I had started using it sooner. I think I always thought that it was one of those overexaggerated skincare trends that didn't really work. I don't like to prove myself wrong, but in this case, I'm glad I did!
Many skincare brands sell their own hyaluronic acid, so have a look around at the reviews and recommendations before buying your first serum. I can't really recommend the best one until I've tried a few more. But I suppose they all do the same job anyway, so I think it's just up to you how much you're willing to spend. If you're considering complementary treatments to enhance your skincare routine, explore the options at *Botonics.
All I will say is that if you're not using this in your skincare routine, please do. It's honestly the best decision I have ever made with my skincare and like I said, I wish I had started using it sooner.
Loved this blog post and a huge reminder that I need to get some more Hyaluronic Acid. I was using it all last year and I have just ran out - the benefits are huge :)
