Hyaluronic acid as skin care

Hyaluronic acid is a moisture-binding sugar molecule found naturally in the skin. It has the ability to bind moisture as much as 1000 times its own weight. By forming a jelly-like substance, it acts as a lubricant between the fibers in the skin. It is hyaluronic acid, together with collagen, which ensures that the skin maintains its moisture balance, which gives plump and healthy skin.

Breakdown and new formation of hyaluronic acid occurs all the time and is a constantly ongoing process in the body. The older we get, the worse the skin's own production of hyaluronic acid becomes. This leads to drier and less elastic skin. In addition to aging, sun exposure has a major impact on our production of hyaluronic acid. This can be seen in people who have sunbathed a lot as they often have more wrinkled skin. If you also experience that the skin feels more dry and sensitive, it is often precisely a lack of hyaluronic acid that contributes to this experience.

Addition of hyaluronic acid for skin care and joints

Thanks to its moisture-binding ability, hyaluronic acid is popular in skin care and cosmetics. There is a plethora of skin creams that contain hyaluronic acid, which provides an external supplement. The advantage of taking hyaluronic acid orally is that you get a double effect. Hyaluronic acid then acts both as skin care and as a supplement to our joints.
