Hyaluronic acid is a miracle for healthy skin. How do you get the most out of it? Learn all about the molecule that is a star in skincare!
What Is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our bodies. It helps support skin cells and plays a major role in inflammation and wound healing. You can think of it as a sponge with exceptional properties: it can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water!
However, disclaimer alert: it is little known that hyaluronic acid only lasts around 25 weeks before being reabsorbed by our bodies. To improve this process, you can use creams or even receive subcutaneous injections. The hyaluronic acid used in cosmetics is obtained through fermenting plant matter.
Now you know the equation: hyaluronic acid equals cellular renewal plus hydration!
Cascading Benefits
Hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge, which helps it retain water around our cells as needed.
Some of its effects:
- Acceleration of skin wound healing by promoting epidermal cell renewal;
- Strengthening the acid mantle and helping protect the skin against external stress (pollution, dust, UV, blue light…);
- Replenishes the skin, helping smooth wrinkles and preventing them from appearing.
Hyaluronic Acid, The Star of Our Hydra-Protect+ Range
Over time, our body produces less and less hyaluronic acid. The skin is not hydrated as well and loses its elasticity. That is why we at Laboratoires de Biarritz developed a range of ultra-hydrating skincare: Hydra-Protect+.
We have customized it to provide year-round moisturization for your skin, catering to all skin types with moisturizing creams, fluids, serums, and eye care.
With hyaluronic acid, glycerol, and other powerful ingredients (natural sugar derivatives, plant-based squalane, and more), our formulas replenish and bolster water reserves, optimize water circulation through the epidermis, and reduce water evaporation for a hydrating effect that lasts over 24 hours.
Hydra-Protect+ Routine
Developed for all skin types, our Hydra-Protect+ Moisturizing Cream is ideal for people with drier skin. Our lighter Moisturizing Fluid is for use on the face and neck, in both the morning and evening. Their velvety textures achieve a perfect equilibrium between enveloping hydration and smoothness. Their delicate, balmy fruit fragrance will evoke a breath of fresh air. For optimal penetration of the products and their ingredients, follow our recommended skincare regimen. Start the morning off by washing your face well with a Micellar Water and then, if needed, by applying Hydra-Protect+ Replenishing Serum and Eye Contour. Finally, moisturize your skin. In the evening, apply the cream on clean skin before going to bed.
Another tip? Once a week, use an exofoliating scrub, then apply our Rehydrating Mask on your face and neck and let it sit overnight. The next morning your skin will look brand new, fresh and replenished!
