Hyaluronic Acid: Myth and Reality

"Tell me the light of my mirror ..." which of the women in the morning did not ask himself the mirror of such a question? Probably, there are none. After all, despite the age, we all want to look beautiful and young. And what will help us in this? It is this problem that many people are asking to find a remedy that will quickly and qualitatively cope with skin problems.
In all the variety of cosmetics, it is very difficult to find your bearings. Yes, and skin type, and age characteristics must be considered and refer to a professional beautician. But, there is no time. Therefore, studying the materials myself, I learned, it turns out, now there is a newfangled remedy - hyaluronic acid, the myth and reality from its use is not yet known to everyone.

Although this acid was discovered in the thirties of the last century, it began to be used actively in our time in cosmetology. Based on hyaluronic acid, creams with healing properties are made, while the acid in these creams is of animal origin. And in cosmetology, as experts say, hyaluronic acid is synthesized artificially. Such agents are safe and do not cause allergic reactions.

Hyaluronic acid is contained in our body, it is produced by cells of connective tissue. At a young age, cells produce a sufficient amount of hyaluronic acid, and with age it decreases.

Watching my friends, I noticed that not only age is the cause of wrinkles on the skin. After all, in 20 and 35 years you can observe the first wrinkles. The cause of their occurrence is both bad ecology, and nervous breakdowns. And, the true guardian of our beauty is precisely hyaluronic acid.

What is this "fruit" hyaluronic acid?

A strong acid, which in an aqueous solution actively decomposes to form free hydrogen atoms, quickly enters into chemical reactions and can all burn in its path. The composition of the skin also includes hyaluronic acid. It is a very weak acid, but, but it binds the water well. It can hold around 500 water molecules around itself, it is a thousand times larger than it weighs itself. Therefore, hyaluronic acid plays the role of a kind of lubricant and provides elasticity of cartilage, and, in the skin, and in the vitreous body of the eye. On this, its functions do not end, it can stimulate metabolic processes in the skin cells, and also promotes the formation of new blood vessels. Another wonderful property of the acid is that the acid is an excellent filler. And if it is introduced into the dermal layer of the skin, you can even fill in large wrinkles, enlarge the lips, change the shape of the tip of the nose.

There are disadvantages in the use of hyaluronic acid. This is its property of gradual decay and the effect of such rejuvenation is short-lived. A positive thing is that it does not harden, and secondly, puffy sponges can quickly get bored, or out of fashion.

And how to apply drugs based on hyaluronic acid?

Again, I had to turn to the advice of specialists. Scientists have found out that the molecules of this acid have a large weight and size. Therefore, they practically can not penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin. And many believe the opposite, here is a myth and reality! A structured low molecular weight hyaluronic acid was created. But this simple application of nano-gel is also not enough. Although the opinions of specialists on this issue diverge. For myself, I concluded: whether the use of creams or gels based on hyaluronic acid, as well as injections of this acid leads to skin rejuvenation and slowing down the aging process. That's it, hyaluronic acid and reality from its use. Well, forward to the beautician for beauty and youth!
