If you’re reading this, you’ve probably seen one of the many skincare commercials with a model applying some serum and staring at the camera saying something along the lines of “look how much brighter and younger my skin is. Look how hydrated my skin is. And look how plump and full my lips are again!” It’s no surprise that these commercials have become so popular – they show every single benefit of using certain products while emphasizing on just one feature. There are tons of advertisements out there showing how amazing their products are, in hopes that you will purchase them and see for yourself. However, if you were able to watch most advertisements for more than five minutes at a time without getting bored, that means the advertisement was not doing its job. That being said, with all the hype surrounding these commercials, it can be very tempting to buy into everything that is being advertised. Unfortunately, not every product does what it says it will do; some may even have terrible reviews from users who experienced an unpleasant side effect or none at all. You see, not everything is as perfect as it seems; sometimes we find out there are hidden truths behind something we once considered perfect. Therefore, I have stopped using hyaluronic acid in my routine because I found out why it isn’t best for your skin ( read more about why ).
## What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the human body; it is present in the skin, eyes, and joints of the body. It is mainly used as a medicine to treat damage to the eyes, joints, and skin caused by diabetes and other illnesses that can damage the skin. This is because it has the ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an extremely useful ingredient in skincare products.
What makes it so special? Hyaluronic acid works as a moisturizer, a filler, and a wrinkle reducer. It moisturizes the skin by attracting water to the surface of the skin, which makes your skin feel more hydrated. It is also an excellent filler. It can be used to fill in wrinkles, as it has the ability to retain water in your skin and become plump and soft, making your skin appear younger and more elastic.
## Why you should not be using hyaluronic acid in your routine
The main reason why you should not be using hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine is because of the harmful effects it may cause to your skin and your health. In hyaluronic acid, there is a large amount of sodium, which is a known toxin that is harmful to your skin. The sodium is present in the form of sodium hyaluronate, which is less than 1% in terms of the total amount of hyaluronic acid, but the effect it has on your skin can be harmful. The sodium in the form of hyaluronic acid is derived from the breakdown of proteins found in your skin, causing an inflammatory response in your skin, making it more vulnerable to aging and damage from the environment. This is why hyaluronic acid is not recommended for use on aging skin, acne-prone skin, or skin with a lot of pigmentation.
## The Benefits of Stabilizers
Stabilizers are key ingredients that help to keep your serum and cream stable. They are essential for a serum or a cream to stay fresh for longer and to not be exposed to the air, which would oxidize it and turn it sour. Stabilizers also help to protect your skin from the damage caused by oxidation and dehydration caused by exposure to the air. They have the ability to bind hydrophilic molecules, like water, fats, and proteins found in your skin. They can also help to create a protective layer on top of your skin, preventing the molecules inside your skin from turning sour and damaging it.
The benefits of using a stabilizer in your skincare product include the following: – Stabilizers can protect your skin from damage caused by oxidation.
– Stabilizers can help to keep your serum or cream stable and fresh.
– Stabilizers can protect your skin from damage caused by dehydration caused by exposure to the air.
– Stabilizers can help to retain the moisture and hydration in your skin.
## Should You Be Using Hydrating Boosters?
Hydrating Boosters are like beauty salts: you can use them to “boost” the hydrating and plumping effects of your serum or cream. They are usually made up of salts, sugars, and other beneficial ingredients. These ingredients work together to increase the moisturizing and plumping effects of your serum or cream. They can also be used as a serum or cream on their own.
Hydrating Boosters are a great addition to your skincare routine. They can help to increase the effects of your serum or cream by moisturizing your skin and giving it a plump, fuller appearance. They can also be used on their own, without the use of a serum or cream.
Hydrating Boosters are beneficial for your skin as they can help to moisturize and plump your skin. They can also be used on their own, without the use of a serum or cream.
## The Problem with Hyaluronic Acid Serums
Hyaluronic acid is found in many serums, moisturizers, and even some skincare masks. There is a lot of attention on the use of hyaluronic acid in skincare products, but what most people don’t know is that it is not the best ingredient for your skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a great substance that helps to retain water in your skin. It has the ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an extremely useful ingredient in skincare products. While hyaluronic acid can be beneficial in some aspects of skincare, it can also cause a lot of harm if used carelessly.
The problem with hyaluronic acid is that it can cause your skin to become overly dry and sensitive to damage. If you are already prone to dry skin or damage from the environment, this can be problematic. You can also become overly dependent on the hydrating effects of hyaluronic acid, causing your skin to become overly dependent on it, which can be dangerous as well.
## Is it Safe to Skip Stabilizers?
Some people decide to skip stabilizers in their skincare products and use hyaluronic acid instead. The problem with this is that hyaluronic acid has a very strong effect on your skin and can cause damage if used carelessly. It can also cause your skin to become excessively dry and susceptible to damage, which can be harmful.
Stabilizers can be skipped in some cases, but it is best to always use a serum or cream with a low enough percentage of hyaluronic acid to be safe. If you decide to skip using a stabilizer in your skincare products, look for a product that has a low amount of hyaluronic acid in it.
## Conclusion
Hyaluronic acid is an excellent moisturizer that can be found in most skincare products. However, it is not recommended for use on aging skin or skin with a lot of pigmentation. The problem with hyaluronic acid is that it can cause your skin to become excessively dry and sensitive to damage. It can also cause your skin to become overly dependent on hyaluronic acid, which can be dangerous.
It is best to always use a serum or cream with a low enough percentage of hyaluronic acid and to always look out for hyaluronic acid-free products.
