What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a special protein that exists naturally in all living organisms. It is found in abundance in our skin and as we age the body produces less and our skin becomes dry and wrinkly. Fifty year olds are estimated to have less than half the HA that they had in their youth.
Its main function is to aid in the body's water maintenance (by binding water molecules to tissue), providing essential moisture for body processes and molecular transport.
HA has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water. Because it binds with water it is effective in plumping up the skin therefore helping to diminish the appearance of fine line and wrinkles. When applied to the skin it acts as the skin's natural hydrator. It attracts and binds moisture; protecting skin from dehydration. With continued use the skin has more resilience, smoothness, elasticity and tone.
Where does hyaluronic acid come from?
It is sourced from a reputable Japanese bio-chemical company - it is the finest quality NASHA (non animal stabilized cosmetic grade).
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid?
HA has been identified as one of the body's most dynamic lubricators. This pure HA is concentrated up to 6 times more of most other HA products.
HA has the ability to help skin, as a nutrient that not only hydrates, but also stimulates the production of new skin cells.
Why is Island Beauty’s hyaluronic acid serum so good?
This serum is specifically made up to hydrate the skin and combat free radical damage, generated by sun exposure and pollution. It also contains Matrixyl, which is designed to promote collagen and elastin production while strengthening the essential skin tissue. It is a remarkable solution that encourages skin tissue to restore itself to more youthful strength while promoting deep tissue repair. Matrixyl can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The concentration of the HA is 60% with 1.5% of Matrixyl. This concentration is somewhere between 3-6 times higher than most other brands of cosmetic creams. It is a supreme hydration serum and has a hydration rate of 600 times, instantaneously hydrating your skin.
How do you apply Island Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum?
Use straight from the bottle. With your fourth finger dab it all over the face and neck then gently massage it. Pay particular attention to the under eye area, any scars, and wrinkles.
Use it twice a day on clean skin before any other moisturisers, or SPF creams. It will absorb immediately with no stickiness and acts as a protective mask on your face all day. You will notice a difference after using it for a week but a significant difference in 6 weeks time when the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are reduced.
This description is provided for informational purposes only. As with any skin products it is wise to test a small amount on your inner arm and leave for 24 hours to determine if you have an allergic reaction or not. If you are planning a day out in the sun, a high SPF sunscreen should also be used.
