We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again because Hyaluronic Acid is one of the best moleclues you could add to your skin.
As a multifunctional compound, it works both internally and externally to boost hydration, support collagen production, and accelerate skin elasticity. Which is why we’ve added it into our new Hyaluronic Collagen powder (coupled with the power of antioxidants from Blackberry), to super charge, and super-hydrate, your skin.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance found throughout our bodies in the skin, soft cells, and connective tissues.
One molecule of HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an incredibly effective moisture-magnet, intensely hydrated cell.
One molecule of HA can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an incredibly effective moisture-magnet, intensely hydrated cell. As we age, the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to a loss of moisture and elasticity in the skin.
How Hyaluronic Acid Works
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) optimises skin cells in two main ways: hydration and protection.
01. Hydration
It infuses tissues like skin and joints with hydration, actively maintaining moisture levels within the body to stay well-hydrated and supple.
02. Protection
HA also forms a breathable protective barrier around cells, protecting them from environmental aggressors like pollution and UV, while also supporting tissue regeneration and cell repair.
To counteract the degradation of hyaluronic acid as we age (and keep skin plump, hydrated, and protected), we recommend infusing it externally your skincare with our Collagen Jelly), AND flooding cells internally with Super Skin.
Here’s why:
4 Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Externally
Topically applied, hyaluronic acid (HA) offers several benefits that we can’t live without:
Deep Hydration
HA draws moisture to the skin’s surface, maintaining a healthy moisture barrier for smooth, soft, and supple skin.
Plumping Effect
HA’s ability to hold water gives it a unique plumping effect, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and making the skin look fuller and more youthful, while also promoting natural collagen production.
Improved Skin Texture
Regular use of HA (for example, with our morning and night hyaluronic Collagen Jelly) leads to smoother skin texture, filling gaps between skin cells and reducing rough patches.
Enhanced Skin Elasticity
By keeping the skin hydrated, HA supports its natural elasticity, making it more resilient and less prone to sagging.
4 Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Internally
Hyaluronic acid’s benefits internally are equally impressive (and we equally can’t live without – literally):
Joint Health
HA is a major component of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints and allows for smooth, pain-free movement. Supplementing with HA can reduce joint pain and stiffness, especially beneficial for those with osteoarthritis.
Eye Health
The vitreous humor in the eye contains a high concentration of HA, helping maintain eye moisture and alleviate dry eye symptoms.
Cellular Hydration
Consuming HA boosts your body’s natural reserves, leading to better overall hydration and a more radiant complexion (Read more deets about getting that hydrated glow in Glow State Activated).
Gut Health
HA plays a role in maintaining a healthy gut lining, crucial for proper digestion and nutrient absorption, linking it to a stronger immune system and improved overall wellness.
