[DIY] Anti-aging: Hyaluronic Acid (Basics/Example Routine/Recipe)

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Here's the basics on Hyaluronic Acid science: It's what's in your tears, it exists throughout your body, and it generally depletes as you get older. Aside from skincare people anecdotally say it helps with arthritis. Clinical research has been done establishing that even oral hyaluronic acid can help with skin firmness. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5522662/ (don't miss the before/after photos from the study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5522662/bin/ccid-10-267Fig3.jpg).​It's currently more standard to apply hyaluronic acid topically on your face to relieve dryness. Example evening routine: Wash face, while face is still damp pat hyaluronic acid serum on your face, let it dry until tacky, spray with water, and repeat. After several repetitions, you can seal it with oils or lotions.​The problem I have had is that products with many ingredients can inhibit your ability to layer the serum. Also , if it's not used in isolation it's hard to know what is creating the results. Here's a youtube video describing why you should avoid just using it casually in other products without a correct routine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG4tjHe8Wqs​The DIY Solution: The solution I have found is to buy hyaluronic acid in powder form from supplement suppliers. You can then mix a tiny amount of the powder with hot water to quickly create a serum each morning.​Happy hydrating!
