Anti-aging serum: 5 reasons to choose it with hyaluronic acid!
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance naturally present in our skin: it is in fact the major component of the extra-cellular matrix of the dermis and contributes significantly to the control of tissue hydration and to the support and volume of the skin.
When it is lacking or not enough, there is a weakening of the skin and a tendency to the formation of wrinkles and imperfections.
Due to its importance, a serum containing hyaluronic acid proves to be an effective and useful choice not only for maintaining the correct hydration of the skin but also for its plumping effect.
To keep the skin perfectly hydrated, it may also be useful to do a face scrub once a week. You can choose to make it yourself at home with natural products: in the following video we explain the procedure for making a do-it-yourself face scrub!
But what are, specifically, the benefits that hyaluronic acid brings to our skin? And how to be sure you have enough to keep it hydrated, toned and plumped? Let's find out below.
1. Ensures optimal skin hydration
Hyaluronic acid is a macromolecule of polysaccharides (sugars) that has the extraordinary ability to incorporate and retain large quantities of water (up to a thousand times its weight).
It ensures an excellent degree of hydration of the skin tissues: the higher its content in the epidermis, the smoother, more compact and hydrated the skin is.
Unfortunately, however, we do not have an infinite supply of hyaluronic acid, and as we age our body produces less and less.
All that remains is to rely on this precious ingredient in cosmetic form, through treatments that contain it in their formulations.
2. It carries out an "important anti-aging action
As we have said over the years the production of hyaluronic acid slows down and this leads to a loss of support and firmness.
Using cosmetic products with hyaluronic acid significantly contributes to counteracting the imperfections deriving from these mechanisms such as wrinkles, dryness, dull complexion and loss of firmness and, at the same time, manages to maintain adequate hydration.
A perfect example is the REVITALIFT FILLER Serum from L "Oréal Paris, formulated with 1.5% pure hyaluronic acid. The formula combines two types of hyaluronic acid: 0.5% is Macro Hyaluronic Acid which is able to retain up to 1000 times its weight in water and helps to maintain the hydration of the skin on the surface. The remaining 1% is Micro Acid Hyaluronic which, thanks to its small size, penetrates deeply into the epidermis, counteracting wrinkles and loss of firmness.
The serum is easily absorbed, non-greasy and is good for any skin type. Its formula with concentrated hyaluronic acid deeply rehydrates, giving you a plump, supple and younger-looking skin. After only a week you will find your skin more toned, hydrated and you will notice a progressive reduction of wrinkles.
