Hyaluronic Acid – How Important Is This for Our Body?

Biology has some scary sounding names for some of its best assets. When someone says acid, we always assume ‘burns or ‘corrosion’. However, not all acids are bad and when it comes to skincare they can play an important role in maintaining our skin’s appearance. So, what is hyaluronic acid and how important is it for our body? What is hyaluronic acid? Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and it has the ability to hold large amounts of water. Hyaluronic acid is often a component found in skincare products as it helps to replenish the skin to maintain a healthy appearance. Why is hyaluronic acid so important for our body? As we grow older, our skin loses its ability to hold moisture which results in a loss of plumpness and firmness. For a youthful looking complexion, using hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture so the outer layers of the skin feel soft, smooth and healthy. Furthermore, hyaluronic acid helps to promote stability, as well as continuous renewal to minimise the appearance of fines lines and wrinkles. Its amazing ability to hold water is what really makes it so special. Just one gram of hyaluronic acid can hold six litres of water – the effect this has on the skin, however, is to keep it balanced to aid suppleness, firmness and elasticity.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
