To all the newbies out there! Before you delve deep into the uses of the best hyaluronic acid-infused products, let us take you through the benefits of using this potent hydrating skincare ingredient.
Benefits of Hyaluronic acid
-
Hydrates your skin
Hyaluronic acid has the ability to improve your skin’s hydration levels. Using products infused with this skincare ingredient can help pull moisture from the deeper layers of the skin and distribute it to the top layer of the skin. Applying HA-based products can help reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). In short, it prevents water from evaporating into the atmosphere and helps keep it in your skin. So, invest in the best hyaluronic acid products and maintain an optimally hydrated skin.

Gives your skin a radiant glow
Even though hyaluronic acid does not help erase wrinkles and fine lines, it keeps your skin plump, making those lines look smoother. The crinkly lines near your eyes are a sign of dry or dehydrated skin. Hyaluronic acid hydrates your skin and reduces these lines to make your skin looking radiant as ever. Hyaluronic acid and vitamin C together can be beneficial for your skin as these skincare ingredients hydrate and give a radiant glow at the same time.

Suitable for all skin type
Hyaluronic acid helps increase the moisture levels in your skin. Products with this skincare ingredient are often lightweight and do not make your skin feel oily. Its suitable for all skin types - be it dry, oily or even sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin or acne prone skin, you can use hyaluronic acid and niacinamide together to reduce acne spots and keep your skin hydrated without causing any irritation.
Now that you know the benefits of hyaluronic acid, let’s learn how to use hyaluronic acid in your daily skincare.
Here are some tips on how to use hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine:
Step 1: Go for a hydrating cleanser
Start your skincare routine by using a facewash enriched with hyaluronic acid. It gently cleanses and hydrates your skin, and makes it plump.You can use hyaluronic acid and retinol together, such as a facewash and a serum, to reduce the appearance of fine lines and get more hydrated skin. We recommend you to use a hydrating gel cleanser, which has a creamy and ultra-fine foam that penetrates pores and cleanses impurities and makeup.
Step 2: Say yes to an eye serum
When it comes to under-eye skincare, go for the best hyaluronic acid-infused eye serum.Hyaluronic eye serum helps hydrate and plump the delicate under-eye area which in turn aids in reducing fine lines, puffiness, wrinkles and even dark circles! HA eye serum enhances skin elasticity, providing a refreshed, youthful, and radiant under-eye skin. How to use hyaluronic acid serum for eyes, you ask? If the eye serum bottle contains an applicator, use it to massage the product under your eyes and upper eyelid, then slightly dab the serum for better penetration. In case of serum with a dropper, pour 3-4 drops of HA eye serum on your palm and gently rub it on the skin underneath your eyes. Now that you know how to use hyaluronic acid serum for your face and eyes, you can take the best care of your skin, maintain soft, supple skin, and prevent signs of ageing!
Step 3: Invest in a good serum
Wondering how to use hyaluronic acid serum for face? Make sure your face is still damp before applying a hyaluronic acid serum. Apply a few drops of the product and dab it on your face with your fingers till it penetrates well. Don't forget to follow this up with a moisturiser to seal in all that hydration. Give your skin the hydration and radiance it needs with a hyaluronic acid serum which is free from alcohol, fragrance and parabens. You can also use serums that combine the goodness of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C together to hydrate your skin and rejuvenate it at the same time.
Step 4: Apply a moisturiser
Never skip this step, not even on your busiest day. Apply a moisturiser infused with hyaluronic acid to seal the hydration in your skin. This should be done at least twice a day after you wash your face, exfoliate or use a serum. Take a pea-sized amount of the moisturiser, dot it all over your face and massage it until it has completely absorbed in your skin. We’d suggest you to invest in a hyaluronic acid cream that combats the loss of moisture and gives your skin the radiance it deserves.
Step 5: Pamper your skin with a sheet mask
You should pamper your skin at least once a week by using a serum sheet mask. It enhances your skin's natural potential and provides you with super nourished, plump skin in just a few minutes. Simply apply the hyaluronic sheet mask on your face, sit back and let the richness of this skincare ingredient soak into your skin for 10 to 15 minutes. For better results, massage your skin with the excess serum or essence after removing the mask.
