What is Hyaluronic Acid and what can it do for the skin?
Hyaluronic Acid is a complex sugar found naturally in all mammals. It is found in the layer of skin beneath the epidermis, called the dermis and has 3 components: collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. With age, exposure to environmental pollutants and the Sun, skin cells gradually produce less and less Hyaluronic Acid. As a person gets older, the skin becomes more dehydrated, the collagen and elastin structures break down, and the skin loses volume. This results in folds and wrinkles – common signs of aged skin. Hyaluronic Acid plays an important role in transporting elements and minerals to skin cells. It also has the ability to hold water like a sponge, up to 1000 times its own weight, boosting hydration levels and increasing the volume and density of skin. The ingredients in Ancient Beauty Mist are quickly absorbed and utilized by the skin. They’ll hydrate your skin and add the essential minerals and anti-oxidants necessary for rejuvenation. This can slow the skin’s aging process.
