Infographic : Hyaluronic Acid for Skin

The skin care industry has considered hyaluronic acid as a great solution for aging skin. In fact, it’s so popular that tons of skin care products are now being formulated with it.

But, what makes it that popular?

Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body. Half of the body’ supply is concentrated in the skin tissue, making the skin plump and supple.

However, as the body ages, this supply greatly diminishes and this is when the skin starts experiencing changes in tone and appearance. Sagging happens and wrinkles and fine lines develop.

Being a potent humectant, hyaluronic acid works great in hydrating dry skin. It attracts water and prevents moisture loss.

It can also create a protective barrier on top of the skin.

Unlike other ingredients, this one doesn’t cause occlusion to the skin. So, if you have oily or acne-prone skin, you can benefit from hyaluronic acid, too.

You should, however, be careful in using hyaluronic acid products in dry climates. Since its main function is to attract moisture from the air, it may end up pulling out moisture from your skin.

Now, to find out more about hyaluronic acid and its benefits for your skin, here’s an infographic to help you out.
