We constantly hear about 15 step skin care routines on social and it’s enough to make your head spin 😵💫. I often get asked about different products, one of the most talked about, but also confusing, is hyaluronic acid (HA). This article lists the best for each skin need, and I’ve summarized the key points of HA below! Thank you to for including me!

🧬 Hyaluronic acid is a molecule found naturally in the body's connective tissue, mainly in our skin.
💧One of the most valuable things that HA provides for our skin is water - it binds water (and holds up to 1,000x its weight in water!) to maintain the plump and hydrated appearance of our skin. It also boosts skin's elasticity, contributes to facial volume, acts as a moisturizer, assists in wound healing. and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
👍🏼 HA is safe for all skin types and tones.
🧴 What order should you apply it? HA should be applied to damp skin after cleansing, as this allows it to retain moisture longer. Applying a moisturizer after helps further seal in the moisture.
