The Role Of Hyaluronic Acid In Hydrating Skincare

The Role Of Hyaluronic Acid In Hydrating Skincare

  • By Srishty Singh

Hydration is key for healthy skin. It ensures your skin's youthful appearance by combating fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles. But that is not all. Hydration maintains a balanced skin microbiome, ensures accelerated healing and offsets inflammation or redness – among other things. It also plays a pivotal role in upholding the lipid barrier that serves as your body’s first line of defence. So, you can only imagine what the lack of adequate moisture content in your skin can cause.

 Hydration Vs Moisturization: What Does Your Skin Need?

Even the most seasoned skincare enthusiasts make this rookie mistake – use the terms hydration and moisturization interchangeably. To dispel all clouds of confusion, we delve deep into the difference between the two. 

Moisturization: Moisturization helps create a protective barrier on the skin that prevents TEWL or transepidermal water loss. Moreover, the process puts a big, sturdy lock on any active-infused treatments or serums you may be administering to your skin. 

Hydration: Hydration helps replenish your skin’s water reservoir. This is where humectants like Hyaluronic Acid come into the picture. 

If you are wondering which one you need in your daily skincare – the simple answer is both. To reiterate, hydration is indispensable for your skin’s health. But all efforts for skin hydration become futile if you don’t have a moisturizer to seal the water bank. 

Conclusion: The most efficacious ingredient to ensure sustained and multi-level hydration to the skin is Hyaluronic Acid. The active can hold an incredible number of water molecules to the skin – almost X 1000 in its weight. Luckily, Foxtale carries an assortment of cleansers, serums, and moisturizers infused with HA that you can easily integrate into your pre-existing skincare.
