BEAUTY LEXICON FROM A-Z / HYALURONIC ACID

In the first Beauty Lexicon from A-Z, we will discover together the one and only HYALURONIC ACID.

To be completely honest, Hyaluronic acid is nothing new in the world of science and cosmetics. In recent years, it has become an extremely popular and important component in the cosmetics industry. As you know, marketing also does a lot of its work on the market. We are always paying attention to this. Always :).

Why are they forging it, forging it into stars?

First of all, let me reassure you that this is not a baw, baw, no acid that would damage your skin, it is not an acid that acts as a chemical peel. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in our body, so our skin also absorbs it well. You can find it in your skin, connective tissue, joints, and even in the fluid around your eyeballs. Its ability to retain water in tissues is extremely important, and your joints are grateful for it because it provides them with lubrication. For you and your body It's no secret , but most people forget that over the years the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body begins to decline (especially during menopause), which of course gradually shows itself on the skin and in the body. The skin becomes drier, less elastic, loses vitality, shine, flexibility, tightens, wrinkles begin to appear.

In the cosmetic segment, it is present in countless different products, not only in face creams, but also in cleansing gels, tonics, creams, serums, masks, shampoos and many other beauty products. There is no science in beauty fillers for increasing skin volume and it is extremely popular, as it binds 1000x more water than its mass, so its ability to moisturize and increase volume within the body can be an interesting and currently very popular anti-aging component if it is replaced with fillers.

What do you need to pay attention to?

Hyaluronic acid is well tolerated by the skin and can be applied to your skin regardless of your skin type, however, I would like to inform you that you must Be careful when using Hyaluronic Acid . To put it simply, Hyaluronic Acid is basically too large a molecule to penetrate the epidermis. If we apply it to the face in large molecules, unfortunately all the beliefs that it will renew your skin, smooth out even the deepest wrinkles and restore its vitality will not bear fruit. If that were the case, the cosmetics market would be one big Hyaluronic Acid market, but unfortunately that's not the case 🙂 .

The smaller the molecule in the product, the better it will penetrate the skin. Even better, the more different sized molecules there are, the better they will penetrate the different layers of the skin. On the surface of the skin, it will evaporate as a standalone product, but it will need to be locked into the skin in some way with the help of additives and create a synchronization with other ingredients that will work as a whole. You must not forget that Hyaluronic acid needs lots of moisture . If there is too little moisture in the environment you are in and hyaluronic acid cannot bind to it, then it will start to draw supplies from the deeper layers of the skin, which in the long run will result in skin that is actually dried out and not moisturized at all.

REPEATABLE/ Hyaluronic acid:

• is basically a large molecule that has difficulty penetrating the deeper layers of the skin,
• The smaller the Hyaluronic Acid molecule, the easier it is to pass through the skin,
• ours binds 1000x more water than it weighs,
• It needs moisture to which it can bind to in order to function.

The next time you buy products containing hyaluronic acid, first check if you can get any information from the importer or manufacturer about whether the hyaluronic acid in the product is broken down into smaller molecules, and you will ultimately be confident in the product you have purchased.

At SkinFairytale We are delighted to present you with a wonderful product named Atopic Cream , which is intended to moisturize the skin. It does not contain natural ingredients that can be allergenic in atopic dermatitis, such as coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil, almond oil, peanut oil, lanolin. It is suitable for every type of skin on the face and body, but especially for skin prone to allergies, eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. The cream soothes the skin and keeps it soft and moisturized throughout the day, also thanks to the Hyaluronic acid content. Also checked by me.

I hope you liked the simple explanation of the first Beauty Lexicon, that you learned something new, and I wave to you with spring greetings and let you know that we will read next week, when we will touch on the aging process, which you will understand more easily if you delve into it and accept it as a part of you and your life. A simple and relaxed writing that will instill in us some new will, strength and energy, so that we can more easily fight everything that still awaits us in the aging process.
