Introduction to Hyaluronic Acid

Let’s start with the basics. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a mucopolysaccharide found in most cells in your body. It’s often called “the body’s moisturizer.” One of its main functions is to bind water and to lubricate movable parts of your body. The greatest amount is found in your skin, which has almost 50% of your body’s HA.

What is Hyaluronic Acid Good for?

Is Hyaluronic Acid good for skin? Well, it’s a very important part of your skin’s cellular matrix and is responsible for preserving healthy moisture levels, maintaining cell structure, keeping your skin smooth and plump, regulating healing and upholding your skin’s defense against environmental damage. As you age, the levels of Hyaluronic Acid diminish.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid

Some of the key benefits of Hyaluronic Acid include:
– Preserving healthy moisture levels
– Maintaining cell structure
– Keeping your skin smooth and plump
– Regulating healing
– Upholding your skin’s defense against environmental damage

What is the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum?

Our BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum is a combination of ingredients that concentrate on hydrating the top layers of your skin, the epidermis and then above that the stratum corneum. These are the layers that take the most environmental stress and are most prone to dryness. The BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum helps your skin cells hold onto moisture, maintain plumpness and flexibility, and aids the overall health of your skin.

Key Ingredients in the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum

Some of the key ingredients in the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum include:
– Ulva lactuca: the backbone of Hyaluronic Acid, which comes from a beautiful green seaweed called jade alga
– Beta glucan: a natural moisturizer barrier and film forming agent
– Hydrolyzed collagen: helps to plump and firm the skin
– Sodium hyaluronate: a smaller molecule that has a better plumping action than the larger molecule of straight HA

How to Use the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum

To get the most out of the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum, apply it in the morning, in the evening, or both! Just make sure you apply it in this order: 1) Cleanser, 2) Toner, 3) Serum, and 4) Moisturizer. We recommend using one pump, or two pumps, at the most! A little goes a long way.

Exfoliation and Hyaluronic Serum

Global Educator Hannah Hatcher says, “Yes, yes, YES!” By removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin prior to applying the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum, you will help the ingredients to penetrate deeper into your skin’s epidermis. That will help give your skin more visible and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid benefits.

Is the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum Suitable for All Skin Types?

YES! The BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum is great for all skin types. It’s particularly wonderful for dry, irritated skin and aging skin. As we mentioned, everyone’s skin holds onto less moisture as we age because cell turn-over isn’t happening as rapidly as it was when we were younger. This also means the protective barrier isn’t as efficient and we lose Hyaluronic Acid. So, the Beauty Prep Serum gives skin a bit of a helping hand.

Hyaluronic Acid and Dark Spots

“Unfortunately, Hyaluronic Acid does not prevent or brighten hyperpigmentation spots on the skin,” says Hannah. “HA focuses more on hydrating and adding water/moisture to your skin. This helps plump, firm and smooth your skin. When it comes to hyperpigmentation, look toward products with SPF. They will help prevent the dark spots from becoming darker. Exfoliation will help brighten areas of darkness.”

Hyaluronic Acid and Fillers

“Fillers are injected deep into your skin’s dermis, and Hyaluronic Acid works topically on your epidermis. So, unfortunately, HA does not extend the life of your fillers,” says Hannah. “However, the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum does help plump up the surface texture of your skin. In some cases, it even eliminates superficial lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration in your skin cells!”

Conclusion

In conclusion, Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful ingredient that can help to hydrate and plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum is a great product that combines Hyaluronic Acid with other ingredients to provide long-lasting hydration and skin benefits. Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive, or aging skin, the BeautyPrep Hyaluronic Serum is a great addition to your skincare routine.
