Hyaluronic Acid... Pathway to Plumped, Supple, Hydrated Skin for All Skin Types!



  You may have heard many things about the all-star ingredient Hyaluronic Acid, its' benefits exceeds anything imaginable. It is also the same ingredient in facial dermal fillers that practitioners use to increase volume definition in the cheeks to replace hollowness as well as used for lips and under the eyes. However, topically applied this ingredient has great benefits though & it's in MANY ingredients lists for skin care moisturizers & serums out on the market. It holds 1000x its' weight in water and in other words locking that moisture in and pulling it from the air as well, so it won't escape. The ingredient can be found under as Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and Sodium Hyaluronate (mostly these 3 anyways) on ingredient lists.
  "Sodium Hyaluronate" is the most commonly used one however, it is the salt-formed version of Hyaluronic acid and absorbs and penetrates easier into the skin than the others do. There are low, medium, and high-molecular weights of hyaluronic acid that are able to hydrate and "plump" from the top, middle, and tge lower surface layer of skin.  Which is why on some products you can see more than one listed on an ingredient list. Even though you can get the benefits from just one listed. Hyaluronic acid can hydrate, plump skin, reducing fine lines/wrinkles, improve skin texture and even promote firmness to skin! We all wouldn't mind achieving plumped skin any day! ^_^

P.S. Remember, it's amazing for anti-aging! <3

Exosomes & Growth Factors: Regenerative Ingredients

      Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles that have regenerative properties when it comes to skin including many "anti-aging" benefits. They may help with loss of firmness, lines/wrinkles, skin texture, reducing inflammation, hyperpigmentation, helps skin heal faster post-procedure, wound healing, and acne even as part of the multitude of benefits. They are considered the delivery system for the other active ingredients to assist with as part of their formulation. They are cell-communicating ingredients which in tells the other cells to "behave" and repair the skin & damaged cells more accordingly, to promote more collagen & elastin production.     In essence, their genetic makeup is a mixture of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. They are able to transport growth factors, hyaluronic acid, peptides, antioxidants to penetrate better into the skin. Whether being coupled with in an-office treatment such as in injectables, lasers, or micro...

Facial Oils: Are They Worth It?

     Facial Oils seem to be a trendy step in a skincare routine as of lately. They are beneficial for someone who's of a more drier skin type. Some facial oils are filled with antioxidants, fatty acids and other nutrients. However, if you're acne-prone, I wouldn't recommend facial oils even if they're suggested as "non-comedogenic" since there is still no telling if you'll still develop clogged pores from which ever formula that may be. They're meant to coat, protect & lubricate the epidermis (outer most top layer of skin), it's meant to stay & hydrate on the skin's surface with also penetrating the top surface. Leaving it silky, smooth, & soft. There are also some problematic botanical oils that can cause a reaction, something to be cautious about. As well as stay away from essential oils! They are a main culprit to adding a sensitized barrier and a pretty significant amount to a possibility of a reaction (as in a rash, redness, et...

Not Being Able To Justify Highly-Priced Skincare

  Unfortunately, I cannot justify spending over upwards to $200-$300+ on a skincare product, whether it being on a moisturizer, serum, essence, etc. granted, there are both good & bad formulated products on both ends of the spectrum. I just don't find it entirely necessary to do so. There are very well-formulated products that can meet a person's concerns/needs at your own budget & what you are willing to spend. Really an unnecessary amount to spend when certain brands with more affordable price points have incredible research & development teams when creating some of your favorite products. I thoroughly love & enjoy learning about the skincare science though. 🧑‍🔬✨️✍️ Yours truly always, Mr. Skin Care Guru
