How to use hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is the best remedy to moisturize the skin. There are two types of hyaluronic acid: low molecular weight and high molecular weight. The first moisturizes the skin from within, the second promotes the formation on its surface of a special mesh, which prevents moisture to evaporate. For home use you will need a low-molecular hyaluronic acid. It is sold in powder form or capsules. The advantage of this type of acid is that it is not just lies on the surface of the skin, and acts in its deep layers.

Independent preparation of a serum with hyaluronic acid does not take much time. First, mix 15 ml neroli hydrolate and 10 ml of water lime blossom. In this water dissolve 0.2 g of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (0,8-2,0), 0.2 g of allantoin and 0.8 ml of dexpanthenol. Shake all ingredients with a mixer until smooth. The consistency of the serum may resemble a gel or jelly. For complete dissolution of ingredients will only require a few minutes.

There is another option for the preparation of serum with the same components. First dissolve the allantoin and hyaluronic acid in dexpanthenol. For the convenience of the substance can be rubbed with a glass rod. After that, pour in the mixture pre-heated aromatic water. And in the end beat all the components of a mini-mixer to obtain a homogeneous gel-like mass. The temperature of the heated aromatic water should not be more than +40.

Ready to pour the serum into a clean jar or a special bottle and store in a cool place. Storage life - not more than 10-14 days. Often, the shelf life depends on a hygiene of use. So ideally use a vacuum dispenser.

Prepared serum has excellent hydrating, softening and regenerating action. In addition, it protects the skin from the harmful effects of the environment. Apply a hyaluronic serum to cleansed skin. After she is absorbed, you can use your usual cream. This is particularly relevant if after the serum you feel tightening of the skin.

Apply the serum spot: on the nasolabial folds, the forehead. You can also apply it all over your face. In the cold season, you should not use the serum just before going outside. At low temperature the water that keeps the tool in the skin, will freeze. And this in turn will cause irritation and skin peeling. So better use the serum at night.

Apply hyaluronic serum is not all the time, and only courses. So the skin will try to produce collagen, and is no stranger to its receipt from the outside. You can apply the serum under the cream for 15 days and then take a break. You can also apply the mask 1-2 times a week.
