What is Hyaluronic Acid And Its Uses for skin

Introduction

Today I’m going to discuss Hyaluronic acid and its uses. Have you seen Koreans with their perfect skin? Everybody wanted to know their secrets of beauty and the perfect glowy skin. People think that it is a miracle or many aesthetic procedures which they do on their skin. 

No doubt they can do many aesthetic procedures for getting this type of skin, but according to me the secret of the skin is Hydration and good genetics. All Koreans have good weather and genetics. Along with that they are very conscious about their diet, routine and hydration. 

Choosing An Ingredient

If you asked me a simple trick to get this type of skin, then I’ll surely vote for hyaluronic acid and water. Yes, you heard right. Water is the main ingredient of hydration. Nobody else can beat water for its property of hydration. 

But the problem is that water has the ability to evaporate very quickly. But this problem has a solution and  the solution is that by using many humactants and emollients.That’s why doctors and dermatologists told us to use a moisturizer or a hydrating serum after washing our face. 

What is Hyaluronic Acid And Uses?

Among the confusion of many humectants and emollients, I wanted to point out a single ingredient which is known as hyaluronic acid. This acid is very powerful in maintaining our skin moisture and water level. 

This hyaluronic acid is basically a humectant which helps to lock water content in our upper layer of skin and when the water is locked in the skin.Then our skin looks very youthful, moisturized and nourished.

This ingredient is very, very powerful and popular around the world and everybody can use it without any problem. As we have seen many ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, Lactic acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin C and many more. But this ingredient can be used by everybody. And they can take advantage of its hydrating property. 

Personal Experience With Hyaluronic Acid

When you asked about my personal experience after using Hyaluronic acid, then I can say that it’s a game changer. I was thinking that oh it’s just a serum which gives some hydration, nothing else. But my friend suggested me to use it once, then I bought it. 

After buying it, I applied it on my face after washing it with a gentle cleanser. Temporarily I was seeing many huge differences as my skin looks very plumpy and youthful, but I was worried that after some time maybe it vanishes as water evaporates. Water can evaporate easily leaving the skin dehydrated and dry. But you guys have to believe me that it looks like it’s hydrated for 24 hours. I’m not lying or joking. 

You are hearing right. I apply it in the daytime and during night time my skin is very healthy. But the thing is that these types of ingredients will not help for the long term. We have to incorporate them in our routine as we eat food every day. Just like we have to apply serums and other things on our face regularly. So please don’t expect that once you apply the serum and you will be younger all the time. 

Using Hyaluronic Acid on Face

When it’s time to use the hyaluronic acid on the face then there are some rules. as we never apply some moisturizer first then cleanse our face. Similarly, there are some rules to apply a specific serum on our face to get its benefits. 

The way of applying hyaluronic acid on the face is very simple though. For that you have to wash your face first, then after you should apply this serum on a damp face not on dry face. If you apply on a dry face then you can’t see a difference in your skin. 

To get this plumpy and youthful look you have to apply this serum on a damp face. After that, apply a moisturizer. And if you have very oily skin, then you can skip the moisturizer. But keep in mind that it would be the weather of summer. But in winter all skin types have to apply moisturizer according to their skin type. 

Some Personal Tips

OK, now I am going to share my personal experience. And you would get the knowledge without experiencing anything. and I hope this would be very beneficial for you guys. I started applying the hyaluronic acid on a damp face and topped it up with a moisturizer. It was a simple routine and of course it helped me a lot but there came a time when my friend asked me about an ingredient like snail mucin. 

I was not familiar with it. And she asked me to just purchase it and should try it. Then I was like OK, not a big problem. We can try it so I ordered some. And this band was very popular. You guys must be familiar  with it. It was cosrx. And I ordered from them. After I used this with a hyaluronic acid I saw a lot of benefit on my skin. But for you guys, I am explaining again that snail mucin can be comodogenic for some people. So if you have non-comodogenic skin then you can definitely try this trick for getting more youthful and plumber skin. 

Types of Hyaluronic Acid 

We all have skin on our flesh. But all the skin are not the same, all are different. Similarly, hyaluronic acid has many molecular weights. For example, from higher molecular level to lower molecular weight. As some hyaluronic acid powder has a very, very small amount of molecules. 

And it has the more power to penetrate in our skin because our skin cells have some pores. If they are larger in size then they can easily pass molecules through it. And if the molecule is bigger than the size of our cell pore size then it’s difficult to pass on. So hyaluronic acid basically has two molecular weights: one is higher and two is lower. 

Which Hyaluronic Acid to Choose?

My recommendation is the lower one because Its molecular size is very tiny and can be absorbed in the skin deeply and give a very plumpy and effective look for many hours. But if you have to try out the hyaluronic acid with higher molecular size, then you will experience some dryness after washing the face because it can’t be absorbed deeply due to its higher molecular weight. 

Last Verdict

Hope so you can understand my words and my way of explanation. I am not a dermatologist, but only sharing my experience and my knowledge about skin care because sometimes knowledge is not about reading but it’s all about practices and experiences.

Conclusion

In last I am just wanted to say On the topic of what is hyaluronic acid and its use is that it’s a very potent and high quality type of ingredient which would be very helpful in getting game changer Look. It will help to provide skin It’s dehydration And Youthfulness. 

Sometime if we don’t apply This type of serums then gradually we will face dryness on skin and flakiness. But this ingredient fights with the dryness and in return It gives us a very shiny, plumpy, radiant And hydrated look. In the skin care industry, hydration is on top And no ingredient can beat it.
