Ever heard of a little beauty wonder – Hyaluronic Acid?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one of the hottest natural skincare ingredients and one of my favourite skincare products too!! Don’t be put off by the name – yes I agree plumped, hydrated skin is not the first thing that comes to mind when we\u00a0hear the word ‘acid’ but\u00a0this is one acid that ought to be on your skincare radar. Hyaluronic Acid (HA), (also known as hyaluronan) is a natural component of the body found in the synovial fluid of the joints for lubrication, the connective tissues, the vitreous humor (fluid) of the eye, and abundantly in the skin.<\/p>\n

A myriad of\u00a0scientific studies show that it\u00a0improves\u00a0skin hydration, stimulates production of collagen, acts\u00a0as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger earning it the title of “the Fountain of Youth”.<\/p>\n

How Does Hyaluronic Acid Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ok So, how does HA keep skin looking supple? We all know that hydration is one key ways to prevent premature ageing. Hyaluronic Acid is basically a water-loving compound\u00a0with\u00a0an unparalleled ability to trap and retain moisture – one gram can retain up to six litres of water. This\u00a0water binding function helps lubricate the body, especially in the joints and skin. It\u00a0is akin to an\u00a0“inside out moisturiser” as\u00a0it hydrates the cells.<\/p>\n

Skin Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid<\/strong><\/p>\n

Add Hyaluronic Acid to your skincare regime for plumper skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is suitable for all skin types including those with sensitive skin. The good news is Hyaluronic Acid can\u00a0now be found in a wide range of natural skincare products, from serums to masks. Try my favourite\u00a0Rens’ Keep Young and Beautiful Serum<\/a>\u00a0– a gel-serum that instantly firms, lifts and plumps the skin to leave it looking dramatically smoother, tighter and more youthful, or Hydra-Vital Hyaluronan Facial Serum 29.5m<\/a>l.\u00a0\u00a0Both are pure forms that will turbo charge your beauty arsenal! \u00a0In addition to topical application, try supplementing with it for a double whammy and say goodbye to symptoms such as dry eyes with\u00a0Syno-Vital Oral-Hydration Sachets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eye & Joint Health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although this is made by our bodies, levels of hyaluronic acid are known to decrease as part of the ageing process. By the time we reach our mid-40’s it is estimated that we only synthesis half the amount of HA that is required by the body.\u00a0There are many additional benefits reported with the use of hyaluronic acid, these include: faster wound healing, increased energy, dry skin relief, improved muscular strength and increased mental alertness. It is considered one of the safest skincare ingredients since it’s already made by the body. Can we really afford not to take hyaluronic acid supplements? Try reputable brand Syno-Vital Oral Hyalauronan Sachets (30 x5ml) or\u00a0Viridian’s High Potency Hyaluronic Acid<\/a>\u00a0200mg (30caps).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
