Why We Love Hyaluronic Acid at Skin Deep

Why We Love Hyaluronic Acid at Skin Deep

Hydrated skin is healthy skin! You’ve probably heard of hyaluronic acid before in beauty blogs or on social media. This incredible, hydrating ingredient really is all it’s hyped up to be, and there are a few reasons why. In this blog, we’ll share why hyaluronic acid is a great product, who it works for, and share a few hyaluronic acid products we carry here at Skin Deep.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body produces naturally—most often found in skin, eyes, and joints. Because it occurs naturally in the body, it makes it a highly effective ingredient to add to your skin care regimen. 

In our bodies, this acid serves as a lubricant and helps with elasticity. It also is incredible at retaining water, making it an effective tool in helping our skin stay hydrated in our dry Colorado climate. It holds 1000x its own molecular weight of water, which is why it keeps moisture in your skin so well. Additionally, it is a powerful humectant, drawing moisture from the environment into your skin.

Hyaluronic acid products works best when paired with a serum or another moisturizer. The moisturizer adds the hydration to the skin, and the hyaluronic acid locks it in.

Who is hyaluronic acid best for?

We recommend hyaluronic acid to nearly every client at some capacity, simply because our climate is so dry here in Colorado. As with any product we recommend at Skin Deep, your esthetician will recommend how often you might want to use it based on your skin type and your needs. From someone with acne prone skin to someone with drier, depleted skin, anyone can experience the benefits of hyaluronic acid.

PCA Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum

PCA’s Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum is great for all skin types and helps address aging concerns. PCA’s serum is the ideal hyaluronic product because it works on three levels—providing instant hydration on the surface of the skin, deeper hydration and fine line reduction with the addition of hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, and, 

“Proprietary blend HA-Pro ComplexTM encourages the skin to create its own hyaluronic acid, resulting in long-term anti-aging and hydration.”

If you’re looking for a product that will help you take advantage of the full effects of hyaluronic acid, this is the one!

Rhonda Allison Pure Hydration

Pure Hydration is a pure hyaluronic acid in a light serum. It aims to help those with compromised or inflamed skin to rebuild and maintain their hydration. Rhonda Allison suggests that this product pairs well with their cucumber spritz for faster and better results.

Ask Your Esthetician About Which Product is Right for You

If you’re not using a hyaluronic acid product already and you’re looking to increase your skin’s hydration, now is the time to ask your esthetician about it. As we’re headed towards the drier winter months, it’s certainly worth asking about the next time you’re in for a facial!
