Why You Need Hyaluronic Acid in Your Life

Hyaluronic Acid, which sounds like something that was found in space, is easily the most talked about ingredient in skincare today. The word acid might be a little scary, but worry not, this ingredient is anything but. 

In short, hyaluronic acid is a sugar naturally found in our skin that serves a very important purpose: hold water and keep our skin plump. In fact, the most expensive cosmetic fillers on the market today are made with this sought-after ingredient. We're not saying to go out and do that, but products with HA are arguably the next best thing (and also a lot less expensive and painful).

HA has the ability to draw in water to the skin. In fact, if you dab a little bit of water onto your face (or spraying yourself with Evian water spray if you're extra like us) after applying an HA serum, you'll notice it soak up into your skin within seconds. It's almost like a miracle? Magic maybe? All we know is that it's incredible.

Because of it's incredible abilities, HA is a great candidate for addressing an array of skin concerns from overall dryness and dehydration in the skin, to ageing and fine lines. It's also incredibly versatile and a good HA serum or gel can even substitute a heavier cream or moisturiser during the hotter months of the summer when our skin tends to get a little greasy.
