Do's and Don'ts of Using Hyaluronic Acid, Essentia Apothecary Skincare is the Solution
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has many benefits such as making the face brighter, supple and even disguising wrinkles.
That is why this active ingredient is often used as the main ingredient in skincare.
However, did you know that HA is not recommended for use when the skin is dry? The reason is, HA content can draw water from the deepest layers of the skin which actually has the potential to make your skin dehydrated.
Here are some things to consider when using Hyaluronic Acid, let's see!
1. Don't Use on Dry Face
Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant that works like a sponge, it draws water from the air and layers of the skin.
Therefore, it is better for the skin to be in a moist condition when applying HA so that it can work more optimally.
Using a face mist or toner before HA can help the skin become more moist.
2. Apply Together with Other Serums
HA is a hydrator that can be layered with other face serums. You can combine HA with:
- AHA, BHA, PHA
- Cica, Ceramide, Bakuchiol, Retinol
- Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Peptide
3. Don't Leave Moisturizer
Even though you have used a hydrating serum like HA, you must continue with a moisturizer.
Because moisturizer has a function to lock the water content bound by the HA serum molecules so that it does not evaporate, so that moisture is always maintained.
If you do not use a moisturizer, your skin can experience Transepidermal Water Loss which makes your skin drier and triggers dehydration.
As a recommendation, you can use a moisturizer from Essentia Apothecary which is guaranteed safe and suitable for all skin types.
