Everything You Need To Know About Hyaluronic Acid

By Noelle Nigrelli 

Whenever I approach the colder seasons, I am always looking for a staple skincare item to bring some hydration back into my face. After a lot of trial and error I have found the best and most affordable item for my face, body and hair. This item is hyaluronic acid, and I could not be more obsessed with it!  For those of you who don't know what hyaluronic acid is, it is a sugar that naturally occurs in your body in places like your eyes, skin and joints. Hyaluronic acid's main function is to provide moisture back into the body and to rejuvenate your skin. For this reason, I like to use hyaluronic acid on my face when I feel it is getting dry and needs extra hydration. 

Typically, after I get out of the shower or wash my face, I just apply two to three drops of hyaluronic acid on my face before adding my moisturizer. It is so easy to use and works so fast! I also love hyaluronic acid because it is a smoothing, and anti aging serum. It can reduce the roughness of one's skin and enhance skin elasticity. Whenever I use hyaluronic acid, my skin feels ten times better when I wake up. That is because I know that hyaluronic acid can decrease wrinkles and enhance skin firmness. Moreover, hyaluronic acid is also great at relieving joint pain, reducing dermatitis and acid reflux, combating gum disease, and soothing dry eye disease. 

My favorite other way to use hyaluronic acid is as a hair care product. No matter what kind of hair type you have, hyaluronic acid will bring you many benefits. Hyaluronic acid on your hair is so helpful because it helps your hair follicles retain moisture, get rid of frizz and add volume to your hair. It also helps if you suffer from a dry scalp because it can soothe and hydrate areas that need hydration. All you have to do is apply a few drops of hyaluronic acid on your hair like a leave-in conditioner. The best part is it is only $6.80 from The Ordinary! No matter how you decide to use hyaluronic acid it will bring benefits of hydration and moisture into your life.
