Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our body. It helps to retain moisture in the skin and restore the skin's natural barriers. As you age, the amount of hyaluronic acid produced decreases, causing your skin to lose moisture. So it is important to supplement it. By choosing the right hyaluronic acid products or treatments and applying them properly, you can rejuvenate your skin and restore it to its former glory.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Choosing a hyaluronic acid serum

1. Buy a serum with a mix of molecular sizes so that it penetrates your skin well. Hyaluronic acid molecules are normally too large to penetrate the skin layers. That is why it is wise to use a product that offers different molecular sizes so that you get the best out of it when using it.
   • Lower molecular weights can penetrate deeper into the skin.
   • Not all products list them. Therefore, do an online survey first or ask the manufacturer for more information.
2. Use a water-based serum if you have oily or combination skin. This will prevent you from applying too many unnecessary oils to your skin.
3. If you have normal to dry skin, it is best to use a water or oil-based serum. Oil-based products trap water on the surface of dry skin and moisturize the cells without blocking pores.
4. Test the product first to see if your skin reacts to it. Apply hyaluronic acid somewhere discreet, like behind your ear, to test its effect on your skin. It is unlikely to cause a reaction as it already occurs naturally in our body.
   • Use it once a day or every other day so you can be sure it's safe to use in the long run.
5. Clean your face and use a toner as you normally would. Follow your normal skin cleansing routine until you would normally add a moisturizer.
6. Apply a thin layer of Hyaluronic Acid Serum to damp skin. If you already have moisture on the skin, the hyaluronic acid serum can be better absorbed. Hyaluronic acid works by retaining moisture, so you have to give it a hand.
7. Use Hyaluronic Acid Serum in the morning and at night. In the morning, it can give your skin extra moisture to soothe it throughout the day. If you use hyaluronic acid at night, it helps to replenish the moisture loss during daily activities. EXPERT TIP

   Choose a hyaluronic acid cream to lock in moisture. Since moisturizing creams sit on the skin's surface, they trap moisture there. If you add hydrating hyaluronic acid to your existing skin care routine, you will get the best possible results from the hyaluronic acid treatment.

8. Choose a cream with a concentration of at least 0.1% hyaluronic acid. Less than this and you reduce the effectiveness of the moisturizing cream. Studies show that this amount of hyaluronic acid is effective for moisturizing and maintaining skin elasticity.
   • If you have sensitive skin, you would do well to keep lowering the hyaluronic acid formula so that you don't risk a reaction or dryness.
9. Add hyaluronic acid to your moisturizer. If you have a moisturizer that is good for your skin, just add hyaluronic acid to it so you can reap its benefits.
   • First, research the ingredients in the product to make sure you get the correct concentration of hyaluronic acid.
10. Apply it as often as needed. It's safe to use hyaluronic acid every time you follow your skincare routine. This depends on your individual routine and requirements, but the addition of Hyaluronic Acid will not affect these times.

Method 3 of 3: Obtain Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

1. Consult a dermatologist to use hyaluronic acid for skin healing. If you want to heal lines or scars, ask a doctor for injections of hyaluronic acid through the skin. Because this allows the hyaluronic acid to penetrate under the first layers of the skin, it is a more effective way to heal the skin at the molecular level.
2. Choose a licensed healthcare provider. Do your research beforehand and ask about his / her experience with skin injections and discuss treatment options before proceeding with any hyaluronic acid filler treatments. Make sure he / she uses approved fabrics and according to the legislation in your area.
3. Know the risks of dermal fillers. Side effects of hyaluronic acid fillers include redness, swelling, itching and pain at the injection site. In rare cases, you may experience more serious side effects, so it is important to discuss this with your healthcare provider and understand the risks.

Tips

• Hyaluronic acid products can be purchased in beauty salons and some are available at the local supermarket.
• If you've never used hyaluronic acid before, see a beauty salon or dermatologist to see if it's the best option for you.

Warnings

• As with all skin care products, if you experience any adverse effects from hyaluronic acid, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician if symptoms persist.
• Do not buy dermal fillers online or use them yourself without any medical supervision.
• Never use injectable fillers in an unlicensed practice or from an unlicensed supplier.
