As a dermatologist, hyaluronic acid can help maintain a healthy, younger, radiant skin tone for people over 40. Here are some antiaging benefits that come from using products with this ingredient;
Moisturizing and hydrating the skin
Skin moisturization and hydration are essential for maintaining a smooth and youthful look. Hyaluronic acid acts as a natural humectant that enhances how the skin retains water and minimizes moisture loss to the surrounding. It prevents dehydration and dry skin, which can fasten the ageing process.
Clearing wrinkles and fine lines
The increased moisture from HA enters the skin and plumps to lower the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face for a smoother skin complexion.
Radiance benefits
Applying serums or creams with HA topically speeds up regeneration of new skin cells, wound healing, repair and lifts the skin on the neck, eyes or chest for a finer, youthful tone.
Best sources of hyaluronic acid
Choose products that have hyaluronic acid listed on the label. Hyaluronic acid can be found in skincare products like serums, creams, lotions and gels. It can also be sourced from almonds, oranges, tofu, edamame, sweet potatoes, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, bone broth, starch root veggies, grapefruits and limes.
Tips for applying it effectively.
I recommend people with dry skin apply it on a damp surface to avoid worsening skin dehydration. For those with oily, apply the hyaluronic acid alone in moderate amounts.
Mistakes to avoid
- I strongly advise you never apply hyaluronic acid on dry skin.
- Avoid mixing HA with products that contain fragrances or alcohol ingredients, as the acid concentration can be harsh on the skin.
