As we grow older, our skin tends to lose its capacity to retain moisture. The resulting dryness leads to a loss of skin vitality and health. This is visible in the form of dry, scaly skin that has lost its volume and youthful appearance. This is a big cause of frustration among people, as is loss of facial-tissue volume and firmness.
The reduction in moisture levels also leads to lessened immune-system functioning, which in turn can cause a number of skin problems. The skin eventually loses its firmness, plumpness, and brightness, making it dull and gray – many people’s worst nightmare!
The Role of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that ensures your skin remains moisturized. It constantly attracts and holds moisture, thereby replenishing the vitality and glow of the skin.
Not only does hyaluronic acid help preserve the health of the skin’s inner layers by keeping the supply of moisture steady and constant, it also helps the outer layers look youthful and glowing by keeping them hydrated. This keeps your skin feeling soft, smooth, and young.
The problem is that the production of hyaluronic acid reduces with age. This reduces the supply of moisture, thereby lessening the positive effects that it has on your skin.
The lack of moisture and the drying up of the skin tissues is evident in the deep lines, furrows, and wrinkles on your face. The loss of muscle and skin-tissue volume in your face leads to the creation of these lines, which only increases each day with the decrease in production of hyaluronic acid.
The only solution left is to make up for the reduced hyaluronic acid by using supplements such as Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, and Versa which are made of synthetic hyaluronic acid, thereby effectively reversing the signs of aging.
