Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizers - Will You Really Improve Your Skin Using Them?
Over the last few years hyaluronic acid moisturizers have become popular. This is probably partly due to fact that a documentary called hyaluronic acid "the key to the fountain of youth". But does it work well in a moisturizer?
Hyaluronic acid can also be called HA or Hyaluronan. It is an extremely important part of your body being found in many areas of your body and in particular the skin. It is what is known as a connective tissue. In the skin it works in conjunction with collagen and elastin to help produce more elastic skin. Of course more supple and elastic skin means less wrinkles, healthier and better looking skin.
Not only that but HA is also what is known as hygroscopic. This means that it absorbs water, in fact it absorbs up to 1000 times its own weight in water. In your skin this means that it will help retain moisture, and this too means better looking more well moisturized skin.
So it would seem obvious a moisturizer that contains HA would work extremely well. However that may not necessarily be the case.
You see there is some doubt about whether HA has too large a molecule size to enter the skin. The hyaluronic acid generally used in moisturizers comes from several sources such as the eyes of cattle, the comb of cock birds and even human placentas. But the result may be that, having a large molecule size, it is unable to enter the skin and is therefore more likely to end up on your pillow than in your skin.
If HA is so good for your skin it would make sense that improving its quantity in the skin would help improve skin health and retain moisture better, and this is true. So if a hyaluronic moisturizer doesn't do this is there some way that you can?
One way is to preserve what is already in your skin from loss. There is an enzyme in your skin called hyaluronidase that destroys hyaluronic acid, so if you're able to limit the actions of hyaluronidase then this will, in turn, increase your skin's stores of that precious acid.
And it's entirely possible to do this. There is a seaweed found around the coast of Japan called Phytessence Wakame which has natural substances that help limit the actions of hyaluronidase. And Phytessence Wakame has been a large part of the diet of Japanese for many many years, and this is considered to be one of the major reasons why Japanese women have such wonderful looking skin.
So if you eat lots of Phytessence Wakame you may well be increasing the stores of hyaluronic acid in your skin. However for many American women this is impractical. Seaweed generally isn't on their diet.
There is another way. There is a range of excellent natural skin care products available that incorporate Phytessence Wakame in the products. This is an excellent way to improve the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin, thereby improving its health and it's looks, and also reducing wrinkles.
So if you're looking for a good hyaluronic acid moisturizer it may well pay you to consider skin care products containing Phytessence Wakame instead. Why not preserve what you already have rather than trying to add more, when it would seem that a hyaluronic acid moisturizer fails to add more.
