The Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid?

Many already know the great results that come from hyaluronic acid as it is used in topical treatments. In serums, lotions and creams, and?how it absorbs quicky into the skin with maximum hydration.

When other ingredients are added like lotions, creams, and butter.?Petrolatum and acetyl alcohol form a protective barrier locking in the moisture and decreases the appearance of fine soft lines and wrinkles. It evens out varying skin tones, and the glorious part it actually plumps, and firms our skin. As I have discussed, it’s important to know what type your skin is, for achieving the ultimate results:??

• Normal Skin: Light oil, with more cream for moisturizing.?
• Oily Skin: Heavier creamier formulas.?
• Dry Skin: 70/30, More cream than oil.?

DRUM ROLL PLEASE?

Now, many may have already known this juicy tidbit. However, when I was in school studying esthetics and getting the 411 on the science of skin care and product knowledge. This was not discussed. However, I've been out of the game for a while. Now, as I re-educate myself with the skin industry evolutions. This information stopped me in my tracks, and I thought it important to share for others like me who did not know of this wonderful news.

I knew that hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the human body and keeps our skin lubricated and moisturized. Our hair, tissues, joints, eyes. Now, we 50 Plus and Beautiful, begin losing these precious emollients. We must supplement them with collagen, magnesium (MSM), Iron etc. What I did not know is, that, hyaluronic acid is being made in a laboratory setting from healthy bacteria. “It is synthesized by a class of integral membrane proteins called hyaluronan synthases, of which vertebrates have three types: (HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3)." ~?

(HA), is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that is present in all vertebrates. It is a major component of connective tissues and is found in the extracellular matrix of vertebrate tissues and is also found in animal tissue and capsules of some bacteria, such as rooster crown, (vitreous)-body, a gel-like fluid that fills the eye, umbilical cords, (synovial) - fluid that lubricates the joints and cartilages during movement referred to as the shock absorber, and skin.

You can now take hyaluronic acid as a supplement. When taken long-term, it improves overall skin flexibility and elasticity. Making your skin smooth, soft and youthful looking. Not only that, but it also helps reduce bodily aches and pain. There is so much about hyaluronic acid benefits that I cannot cover them all here. I do see myself covering more in latter editions such as the side-effects, who should be careful and who should speak with their physician before switching to any new supplement being introduced to the body.?

Biological science innovations are creating a path towards healthy longevity. Increasing our viability and resistance to aging. Soon no one will have to worry about aging, or bodies racked with pain. However, we still must do our part whenever possible. We can't live by supplements alone. A well-balanced nutritious diet goes hand in hand working together for optimum 360 health benefit.

The protection of our skin from the sun's ray, cold and harsh weather, is imperative. Smoke, alcohol, sugar, and salt, all contribute to our internal organs being stressed, breaking down and causing aging. The more we can eliminate these and make conscious lifestyle and dietary choices changes, the better.
