What Is Hyaluronic Acid and Why Is Everybody Raving About It? | Skin Republic UK

You’ve definitely heard the words ‘hyaluronic acid’ thrown about in the skincare world of late. it’s dubbed a game changer ingredient, if you’re looking for hydrating skincare you need a hyaluronic acid face mask.

But what is it? 

Hyaluronic acid is molecule that naturally occurs in our bodies, so it’s already in your skin! The real magic is the fact it holds up to 1000x its own weight in water, way more than any other biological substance. So, it’s a no brainer that hyaluronic acid skincare is taking off!

Why do I need it?

If it’s already occurring in your skin, why on earth do you need more of it? Well, as we age our skin’s ability to produce its own hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to dry skin, fine lines and no glow (boo!) If you’re soaking up the sun this summer, drinking alcohol or are exposed to free radicals in your diet you might already be deficient in hyaluronic acid - hyaluronic acid skincare is a must.
