I discovered this magic hydrator after my experience with the infamous ‘Vampire Facial’ aka Microneedling with PRP.

I'll write a post about my experience having my blood taken and rubbed all over my face in the name of beauty, but in the meantime you can read about the magical substance that soothed and hydrated my skin after the blood bath.

After the Microneedling my face felt super tight and raw. Aftercare included not touching my face, sleeping with the plasma on through the night ala American Psycho (my boyfriend was terrified), washing it gently with water in the morning, staying out of the sun and only applying Hyaluronic acid each day for the next 3 days. The consistency of the product is akin to water and it feels light and cooling on the face, leaves no oily residue and dries in seconds once applied.

I have continued to use Hyaluronic acid after the treatment and began reading more about it. Hyaluronic acid is a lubricating fluid that’s naturally found in the skin, eyes, joints, fluid and connective tissue. It's been described as the ‘key molecule involved in skin moisture’ and is capable of holding up to 1,000 time its weight in water .

The Key Benefits of Consuming and Applying Hyaluronic Acid:

1. A powerful humectant (aka moisture-binding ingredient) that keeps skin plump and hydrated and, yes, young-looking.

2. Increases hydration, improves elasticity and also reverses free radical damage.

3. It’s present in large amounts in the spaces between skin cells, where it provides moisture, plumpness, firmness and suppleness to the skin.

4. It works to prevent and reduce age spots and pigmentation issues.

5. It is vital to joint health either in pill form or as an injectable directly into the joint.
