Why is Hyaluronic Acid so important to the skin and hair?
Young skin is smooth and highly elastic because it contains high concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid., which helps skin stay healthy. As we grow older, the body loses its ability to maintain this same concentration in the skin. Hyaluronic acid helps to bind water, the ability of the skin to retain water also declines with age. As a result, the skin becomes dry and loses its ability to restore itself. Without water, the spaces in the skin appear which leads to wrinkling and the older skin appearance. Hyaluronic acid acts as a space filler by binding to water and thus restoring normal skin health.
