Hyaluronic Acid: Dehydrated Holy Grail Skin Savior

Hi Klevies! In rainy seasons like today, it is very important for us to maintain our immune system and fill up our daily water intake to avoid dehydration. The same thing goes for our skin as well. It is very likely for our skin to become dehydrated when the daily water need is not fulfilled. Have you ever experienced dehydrated skin in seasons like this?

Some of us may have not been aware of it already but our skin can become dehydrated like your body. Skin dehydration is a condition where your skin is lacking water. While dehydrated skin is often mistakenly known as dry skin, dehydrated skin and dry skin are two different things.

Dehydrated skin means your skin lacks in water, while dry skin lacks natural oil or sebum. Other than that, dry skin is a skin type and dehydrated skin is considered a condition.

Some common symptoms of dehydrated skin are itchiness, dullness, uneven skin texture or complexion, fine lines, and wrinkles. Keep in mind, skin dehydration doesn’t specifically occur because of some hormonal conditions, so treating dehydrated skin is considered easier to do with lifestyle changes.

You can do a small test on your skin to find out whether your skin is dehydrated by pinching a small part of the skin in the cheek area. If your skin doesn’t bounce back and shows a wrinkly texture, the possibility of your skin being dehydrated is DEFINITELY not zero. So, what can we do to prevent and treat dehydrated skin?

The first and the basic step you have to consider is making sure that you drink enough water daily, you might follow the eight-glasses-of-water-a-day rules or have your own rules that can fulfil your daily water needs. Having a good and decent sleep routine is just as important as having to consume lots of plant-based food like fruits, vegetables, etc. So you would have to pay more attention to it as well!

Besides having a decent intake of food and water, as well as getting enough sleep, choosing the right skincare ingredients can also speed up the treatment. Consider adding hyaluronic acid (HA) to your skincare regime as a powerful and effective treatment to dehydrated skin. But, what is hyaluronic acid and how does it treat dehydrated skin??

A dermatologist, dr. Litya Ayu, SpKK, FINSD explains to kumparan.com, hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient in the human body, especially in the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. This ingredient is capable to maintain water balance on the skin and it can work like a sponge that can absorb and retain water.

Hyaluronic acid is quite popular for skincare junkies since it is a natural substance found on the skin and it is safe to use even if you have sensitive skin, it doesn’t trigger any allergic reaction or skin irritations. Hyaluronic acid can absorb 1000 times more water than the hyaluronic acid molecule itself.

The benefits of hyaluronic acid are also one of the million reasons why this ingredient is so lovable. Some of the reasons are it can act as anti-aging, moisturizing, wound healing, preventing wrinkles, increasing skin elasticity, treating eczema and soothing redness on the skin.
