Hi everyone, in this video I'm going to talk about what exactly hyaluronic acid is and how it works. But first for all things beauty and skincare, make sure you hit that subscribe button and the bell that way you know every time you upload a new video every week. Okay, so what is hyaluronic acid? So it's basically something that our own skin cells actually produce in order to maintain moisture levels. Now because of aging and pollutants in the air, we actually, that substance actually diminishes greatly. Okay, so when you apply this to your skin, it helps to hydrate your skin and helps to maintain this hydration as a humectant. Okay, so what is a humectant? It's basically a substance used to help reduce the loss of moisture in your skin. So think of it like a magnet for moisture, which helps your cells retain as much as that moisture as possible. And then in turn your skin will feel and look hydrated, plump and radiant. Now because I'm 48 years old and I'm noticing all the fun parts about getting older like the fine lines and wrinkles, this is a really important ingredient that I like to keep in my skincare routine because it really does help plump up my skin and make my skin feel a lot more healthy. And it does diminish the fine lines and wrinkles. I'm definitely noticing that. Okay, so I'm not going to get too scientific here on hyaluronic acid, but just note that one single gram of this impressive substance can hold up to six liters of water. But instead of drowning your cells with all this moisture and water, it actually is very smart and knows how to regulate this water. Okay, so why is this good for your skin? Number one, when you're really hydrated, it helps your skin look super soft and radiant and plump. Number two, when your skin is hydrated and you're using the substance, it also helps to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles. Number three, it not only works for people in my age, but it also works for people of all ages and all skin types like sensitive skin and oily skin. And number four, lastly, researchers shown that this does contain a lot of antioxidants, which is really great in preventing any skin damage from pollutants in the air or free radicals. Now, is hyaluronic acid safe to use? Because I know it can sound a little scary, but yes, it's definitely safe. Like I said earlier, your skin cells actually produce substance. But the good thing about this is that there's no downtime and it doesn't strip your skin. It simply gives your skin a gentle hydration to exactly where your skin needs at the most. So the bottom line here, at least for me, it is not a myth and it actually lived my little miracle serum. And if you're worried about anti-aging, then you definitely should be adding this into your skin care routine. Now, as always, I'm loving this and I know what works for my skin, but every skin is different and you need to do your research. And if you're not comfortable with using this, then I definitely recommend you talking to your dermatologist about it. But for me personally, I love it and makes my skin feel super hydrated, plump, radiant, and healthy looking. I'm going to also list a few products that have hyaluronic acid in and I'll put that in the description box below. So you can take a look at that. And as far as application, what you want to do is step one, you're going to put a couple pumps of under your palm and you're going to, number two, some massage it onto your face and eye area in an upward motion, concentrating on the dry and the rough skin. And the number three step is lightly tap around your face until it is completely absorbed. Okay, so that is my video on hyaluronic acid. I hope you found it helpful.
