Read on to find out why and discover the numerous hyaluronic acid benefits...
Firstly, what is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule found naturally in our bodies—primarily in the skin, eyes, and joints. In skincare, it does the job of attracting water to the skin to keep it optimally hydrated.
Fun fact: Hyaluronic acid can hold water up to 1,000 times its weight! All that moisture helps keep the skin healthy, plump and happily hydrated!

Is hyaluronic acid suitable for me?
Hyaluronic acid is suitable for people with all skin types except those with extremely sensitive skin. However, it is always advisable to do a patch test before you incorporate it into your skincare routine.
When it comes to hyaluronic acid benefits for face, it is especially beneficial for people with dry or dehydrated skin. But that doesn’t mean people with oily skin won’t reap any benefits. Oily skin can still be dehydrated!
So, to give your skin a hit of hydration, hyaluronic acid is the ingredient to trust!
How do i incorporate hyaluronic acid into my skincare routine?
Hyaluronic acid in serum or toner form should always be applied to damp skin, followed by a moisturizer. An important point to note is that if you live in a dry environment, hyaluronic acid will not work as effectively. The benefit of hyaluronic acid for face is that it draws water from the air. But if the air lacks moisture, it draws water from deeper layers of the skin.So, if you choose to use hyaluronic acid in a dry environment, it is best to use a humidifier and keep yourself hydrated.
