How many times have you wondered how it was possible for someone, despite their age and/or the use of make-up products, to continue to have perfect and elastic skin ? One of the answers is certainly contained in a special ingredient: hyaluronic acid. Have you heard of it? Now we will discuss it together so we can have a clearer idea of what it is, why it is so important and above all why everyone chooses products that contain it.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance also produced by our body, did you know? It allows tissues to be hydrated and have long-term hydration . The plasticity and viscosity resulting from its presence in the skin tissue allows for a protective action against excessive stress and tension. It is one of the fundamental components of human connective tissues.
Hyaluronic acid has a particular chemical structure that gives it numerous properties, making it particularly useful in both the medical and aesthetic fields. Its ability to bind water and other substances gives rise to protective gels, particularly useful for the skin and joints.
The structure of its molecule is very large and long, and together with its degree of hydration, it allows hyaluronic acid to form a reticular-type structure which leads it to assume and mainly carry out two main functions: creating a molecular "scaffold" to maintain the shape and tone of the tissue and function as a filter against the diffusion of substances, bacteria and various agents into the tissue. Over the years, hyaluronic acid tends to decrease in the tissues and the typical signs of aging begin to appear. This could be a problem for us, what's the word? Prevention is better than cure?! Well, in this case it seems so! For this reason it is essential to start using specific products such as the Advanced Bio Bava Lux cream which contains a good quantity. In the dermatological-aesthetic field, hyaluronic acid forms the basis of the so-called fillers, treatments used to fill and smooth out facial wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is also a fundamental component of the liquid found in the joints, it has the purpose of protecting the cartilage from wear and excessive loads. This liquid, in addition to cushioning movements, ensures nourishment for the cartilage, accelerating its repair processes. This leads us to a conclusion which is that it turns out to be a multifunctional substance, it is not only useful for a purely aesthetic factor, but is important for our health.
Joint aging, as well as skin aging, is associated with a decrease in the production of liquid and therefore of hyaluronic acid. In addition to the signs of aging, joints can be affected by degenerative pathologies involving the cartilage, or trauma.
But what are the real benefits for our facial skin?
Since hyaluronic acid is a hydrophobic molecule, in the cosmetic field this substance is mainly converted in the form of salt, i.e. sodium hyaluronate. In this soluble form, hyaluronic acid can penetrate deeply into the skin and perform its essential support function. This is why to treat the signs of aging, daily skincare should include face creams and serums based on hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid has such a molecular weight that it is difficult to absorb at the skin level. Products such as the Advanced Bio Bava Lux face cream skilfully combine this molecule together with other ingredients to make them work together and to ensure the maximum degree of absorption of hyaluronic acid into the skin. The combination of two specific treatments allows you to strengthen and plump the skin of the face, giving it elasticity and softness. The more hyaluronic acid is absorbed, the more the skin regains its network structure, therefore appearing more toned and compact.
The acid hyaluronic has strong hydrating properties. In fact, it acts on maintaining the skin's water balance, as well as having tissue repairing and regenerating properties. Given its remarkable ability to retain water, it is able to swell, increasing its volume, thus filling small wrinkles for an anti-aging effect. Its production within our body already decreases at the age of thirty, did you know that?
The main benefits of hyaluronic acid are endogenous in nature. Given the particular ability to retain water, the hyaluronic acid molecules swell with water, increasing their volume, thus filling the small wrinkles of the skin. By pushing the wrinkle hollow towards the surface, the skin appears smoother and more homogeneous, giving an immediate anti-aging effect.
By combining with water, hyaluronic acid forms a gel-like structure that gives the skin elasticity and turgidity . In the most superficial layer of the skin, called the stratum corneum, the permanence of hyaluronic acid is limited in time. It performs an essential function in maintaining water homeostasis, optimally regulating the hydration balance of the most superficial layers of the skin.
Are the benefits on the face real and visible? Certain!
Hyaluronic acid is a highly appreciated ingredient in cosmetic use for its hydrating and anti-wrinkle properties. It pleasantly improves the skin feel of products containing it, leaving an extremely silky touch.
The benefits given by the use of cosmetic products containing hyaluronic acid are especially noticeable on the skin facial skin , showing his effects in wrinkles of expression created by facial expressions.
The skin of the face is the part of the body constantly exposed to sunlight and environmental conditions, which considerably influence the water balance of the skin: hyaluronic acid allows the skin's hydration to be rebalanced, increasing elasticity and the structure of the dermal tissue of the face.
However, it is not only possible to apply products that contain it on the face, the benefits can also be obtained on the skin of our body.
Hyaluronic acid has benefits on the skin of the whole body and is used in a very transversal way. It can be applied in facial products, from younger looking skin hydration and silkiness to more mature skin on which it has benefits on the elasticity and firmness of the skin. In body care products, hyaluronic acid helps keep the skin hydrated, making it compact and pleasant to the touch.
The most recent applications of hyaluronic acid see the development of hair products with benefits both on the health of the scalp and on the elasticity and hydration of the hair.
