What is Hyaluronic Acid?

What is Hyaluronic Acid and why is it good for your skin?

The word Hyaluronic Acid has had to hit your ears. It is one of the most talked about ingredients for skin care. Some people are unsure though what it actually is or does. Hyaluronic Acid is great for your skin and has been around for a long time. When you hear the word acid a lot of people get concerned but Hyaluronic Acid isn’t harsh on the skin at all. All skin types can use it too which is great! It plumps, hydrates, and keeps the skin appearing youthful!

What is Hyaluronic Acid? We actually have Hyaluronic Acid in our bodies. Our joints, nerves, hair, and even eyes are lubricated and cushioned through it. The younger you are the more you have and as you age the Hyaluronic Acid depletes. That’s why babies have such beautiful glowing skin! With the depletion of the Hyaluronic acid fine lines, sagging skin, and dryness occur.

How can I incorporate Hyaluronic Acid into my skin care regimen? At The Spa At Spring Ridge we have many products containing Hyaluronic Acid. A few are listed below.
