The benefits of Hyaluronic acid you're missing out on!

One thing every skincare enthusiast and specialist can vouch for is that Hyaluronic acid offers innumerable benefits to your skin. It aids in hydrating and locking all the moisture in your skin. This product is a sure-shot way to get the golden ticket to youthful and radiant skin! Are you tempted to learn more about all the benefits this ingredient offers? Well, this blog will provide great insight into how your skin will change (for the better) once you incorporate it into your routine. So sit back, relax and explore the world of Hyaluronic Acid together. What is Hyaluronic Acid? Hyaluronic acid is present in the body in various connective tissues, with the highest concentrations in the skin, joints, and eyes. It's a humectant, which means it can hold water molecules and prevent moisture loss. When applied topically, Hyaluronic Acid can penetrate the skin and attract water molecules from the environment, leaving the skin hydrated and plump. With age, your body produces lesser Hyaluronic Acid, leading to a decline in skin hydration and elasticity. This can result in the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Using skincare products containing Hyaluronic Acid can help to restore the skin's moisture levels and reduce the appearance of these signs of ageing. Know The Benefits Of Using Foxtale's Hyaluronic Acid Serum 1. Provides Hydration Hyaluronic acid serum benefits the skin in so many ways, and one of its key advantages is its ability to provide intense hydration.

Remember- well-hydrated skin leads to a lesser possibility of fine lines and wrinkles. 4. Soothing Hyaluronic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe and calm irritated skin. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or rosacea. The daily hydrating serum contains powerful ingredients like α—Bisabolol, Betaine and vitamin B5. Did you know α—Bisabolol, a component of chamomile, provides a soothing effect on the skin and reduces redness and inflammation that comes with that pesky acne?

Wait for at least 24 hours; if your skin is showing no signs of an allergic reaction, you can proceed with using the product on your face. If your skin shows redness and irritation, discontinue the product. How to apply vitamin C serum? Here's a pro tip- When it comes to consistency, always apply skincare from the thinnest to the thickest in terms of consistency. Now that you have conducted the patch test, you can follow the sequence of cleansing, applying vitamin C serum, moisturizing, and using sunscreen. When to apply vitamin C serum? It is recommended to apply the serum in the morning to protect yourself from free radical damage. However, it is important to follow up with using sunscreen. Here's a step-by-step application for your skincare routine: Step 1: Use a cleanser Your face must be a fresh canvas for any product to work entirely on the skin. A gentle cleanser helps remove dirt and grime accumulated on the face throughout the day. You can include Foxtale's Daily duet cleanser to help unclog pores and leave you with hydrated skin. How does it works: The formula contains Sodium Hyaluronate and Red Algae Extract that improve your skin’s water-holding capacity. The best part? This innovative cleanser doubles as a makeup remover. It contains gentle surfactants that melt every trace of makeup and SPF from the pores. Step 2: Apply the vitamin C serum With your face feeling as fresh as summer, it is time to introduce Vitamin C serum to your skin. Using it will help soothe sunburns and inflammation caused by active UV exposure. Foxtale’s C For Yourself Vitamin C Serum will help stimulate collagen production, giving you radiant and brighter skin. How does it works: The serum uses gel-trap technology to enclose Vitamin C (a water-soluble active) with oil-soluble Vitamin E. This ensures better absorption of the serum across the lipid barrier, almost 4X deeper into the skin. Use the serum in your morning and nighttime skincare routine for the best results. Step 3: Moisturize your skin Moisturizing your skin is essential to seal in all the moisture. A good moisturizer helps your skin stay well-hydrated for a longer time. Using Foxtale's smoothening moisturizer will give your skin the extra love and care it deserves, leaving it pampered and nourished. How does it work: The lightweight and non-comedogenic moisturizer smoothens your skin from the first use. Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer and Olive Oil help bind water molecules to the skin, adding to its hydration tank. Moreover, super ingredient Ceramide doubles down on this hydration by preventing TEWL or transepidermal water loss. Step 4: Apply sunscreen Applying sunscreen daily might seem like a task, but your skin will greatly benefit from it in the long run. It shields you from the harmful rays of the sun, along with tackling the signs of ageing. Using Foxtale’s Dewy finish sunscreen gives you the dreamy dewy glow without leaving a white cast on your skin! How does it work: The breathable formula shields your skin against harmful UV rays, preventing burns, tanning, pigmentation and photoaging. It contains ingredients D-Panthenol and Vitamin E that create a protective barrier on the dermis for moisture retention. What are some mistakes to avoid with Vitamin C serum? To maximize the results of your Vitamin C serum, here are some mistakes you should avoid 1. Shelf life: Unfortunately, Vitamin C serum is susceptible to oxidization by air, heat, and light. To improve the serum’s longevity, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place. 2. The right amount: Since a serum contains a high concentration of one or more active ingredients – a little goes a long way. You only need 2 to 3 pumps of Foxtale’s efficacious Vitamin C Serum to see visible results! 3. Application: Always apply the serum on a clean canvas. Use a gentle, pH-balancing cleanser to remove dirt, grime, and other impurities from the pores. Dab your skin dry before whipping out the serum bottle – don’t apply the formula on damp skin. 4. Dabbing Vs Rubbing: We recommend dabbing the serum on your face instead of vigorously rubbing. This reduces potential flare-ups, inflammation, redness, etc. Moreover, dabbing the serum minimizes wastage significantly. 5. Consistency: If you are chasing the skin of your dreams, be consistent with your Vitamin C Serum. Use it in your morning/nighttime skincare routine daily. 6. Layer well: Use Vitamin C with other active ingredients to address underlying skin concerns. Layer it with Niacinamide for instant brightening, with Hyaluronic Acid to fight inflammation and with Retinol to boost Collagen production. The conclusion Vitamin C serum offers a wide range of benefits to your skin; just know that consistently using it will help you reap the maximum benefits. The sooner you can include vitamin C serum in your routine, the better! If you’re looking for a sign to use the serum, consider this is it! FAQs 1. When can we see the results of Vitamin C serum? Foxtale’s Vitamin C serum takes four to eight weeks to show the dreamy results you’ve been awaiting. Diligently using the serum is key, especially if you want wrinkle-free skin. 2. Can I use vitamin C serum every day? Yes! You can apply Vitamin C serum every day or even use it twice a day. 3. Can I skip sunscreen after Vitamin C serum? No, you shouldn't skip sunscreen after applying vitamin C serum, as your skin is more susceptible to the harmful rays of the sun. Therefore, combining the two powerful duos will help double its efficacy and give you the best results!
