Is Your Skin having an ah-HA moment?

HA ( hyaluronic acid) is everything to your skin. You need HA for more youthful skin. This is perhaps one ( of the many) most miraculous skin care nutrients ever discovered! HA works extremely well as a topical agent. In fact, it permeates and firms and plumps your skin with moisture so well that it is almost sinful. HA loves moisture! HA is a carbohydrate produced naturally in the body, and it exists in every cell. Chemically it is classified as a glycosaminoglycan and consists of glucuronic acid and N-acetyl glucosamine. It takes approximately three days ( and perhaps less in skin) for each hyaluronic acid molecule to break down and be excreted from the body, so it must be continually replenished. Fully 50 % of the body's hyaluronic acid is found in both the deep underlying layer and the visible epidermal top layer of the skin. Younger skin contains larger amounts of HA keeping the skin younger and healthier. With age, the skin looses its ability to maintain high concentrations of HA, and the ability to hold water, leaving the skin rough, dull and more lined.
In skin, HA acts as a space filler, binding to water and visibly decreasing the look of lines and wrinkles. In 2003 the Food and Drug Admin. approved HA injections to temporarily smooth wrinkles by adding volume under the skin. Research shows that at 4 and 13 week intervals after receiving injections of HA, the the HA induced new collagen production by stretching the skin cells that secrete proteins, stimulating growth factors and inhibiting collagen break down. WOW! This was a recent detailed study conducted at the University of Michigan Med School.
One of the great things about topical HA is that it is so well absorbed into the skin that it can have a wonderfully helpful effect when simply used as a lotion or under a lotion. I recommend HA without any petroleum- 100% natural and pure HA to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out- improving tone and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
