The magic of hyaluronic acid, which has made it famous all over the world, is its ability to attract and retain water in a way that no other substance does. Its molecule is a combination of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. It contains a large amount of oxygen and hydroxyl groups, which allows it to form strong hydrogen bonds with water. Simply put, each molecule of hyaluronic acid is a tiny sponge that holds water, making it a unique means of moisturizing the skin and tissues.
It is for this reason that hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular ingredients in moisturizing cosmetics. However, there is a way to make the already effective hyaluronic acid even more effective. For this, experts recommend applying the product with acid immediately after washing, on wet skin. After you've cleansed your face with a gel or foam, skip the toweling step and apply the product in gentle sweeping motions without stretching the skin.
Why? This will literally seal moisture in the skin, preventing it from quickly evaporating and will create a protective barrier that will protect the skin throughout the day. After the serum is absorbed, apply an SPF to ensure reliable UV protection and a moisturizer.
By the way, this technique works not only with hyaluronic serums. If you want your skin to stay smooth and silky all day, apply a body oil or lotion immediately after showering, skipping the wiping step. The product will better absorb into the skin and provide deep hydration, which is so necessary during the heating season.
