However, it\u2019s one of the most effective ingredients at preventing the signs of aging and helping you to retain a youthful glow. There are other nutrients that are as essential, but there\u2019s been a push towards hyaluronic acid recently after extensive research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science has proven HA does the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep cartilage in the joints strong and flexible<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lubricate the joints<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deliver nutrients to cells<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carry toxins out of cells<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The feature that most women find attractive is the fact that it locks in moisture and promotes a youthful appearance. Half of the hyaluronic acid found in the body is in the skin, so there\u2019s no doubt that this chemical is integral to your skincare regime. Still, knowing that it helps is one thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key is to try and trap it in the skin so that it absorbs into the pores and transforms your cells. If you haven\u2019t heard of HA before, this is tough since you don\u2019t know what it is, never mind how to stop it from evaporating into thin air.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who fall into that category, all you need to do is continue reading. Here are the four ways to retain hyaluronic acid in the skin and stay youthful for longer!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"check-your-moisturizer\"><strong>Check Your Moisturizer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that lots of people don\u2019t realize is that the lotion that they use isn\u2019t suitable for their skin. There are several reasons, from it includes harsh ingredients to that it doesn\u2019t work for your skin type, yet the main one is that it doesn\u2019t utilize hyaluronic acid. Thankfully, there\u2019s a simple way to tell: check the back of the bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packaging must state the ingredients and the quantities by law, so if it isn\u2019t there in bold type, it\u2019s not in the lotion. This is a big deal since pretty much every successful <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarinsusa.com\/en\/face\/sp\/anti-aging-anti-wrinkle-skincare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anti aging<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> product uses it in some form, whether it\u2019s organic or not. After all, plant and water-based formulas affect its ability to attach to cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you not find what you\u2019re looking for, it\u2019s time to branch out and switch up your lotion. This isn\u2019t an easy decision because it takes a lot to ensure you\u2019re comfortable with your moisturizer. Therefore, you\u2019ll have to do plenty of research and factor in your age and skin type.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you already know one ingredient that it must include, and that\u2019s a fantastic starting point.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stay-out-of-the-sun\"><strong>Stay Out Of The Sun<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reducing how long you spend in the sun is a staple of all skincare guides. The UV rays, while attractive when they turn your skin golden brown, are unhealthy long-term. Another reason that UV rays are bad for your skin is the effect it has on your body\u2019s hyaluronic acid stores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies suggest as little as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/38313-retain-hyaluronic-acid-body\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">five minutes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of exposure to UV can start to break down HA. That means you should limit yourself to three-hundred-seconds on the beach without any protection, or else you could turn into a shriveled prune! Yes, it\u2019s unrealistic to limit yourself to this amount of time in the sun each day, particularly in the warmer months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, it\u2019s essential to wear lotions with SPF and give your skin some protection. It\u2019s also vital to cover up. For instance, you probably wear shorts or dresses in the summer due to the temperature. However, the lack of fabric means your arms and legs are constantly in the sun and subject to cell breakdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes for your face \u2013 your moneymaker \u2013 which is why long garments and hats are crucial if you want to stop lines, wrinkles, and crow\u2019s feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1601502\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1601502\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1601502 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HA-article.jpg\" alt=\"Hyaluronic Acid: Guava\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HA-article.jpg 800w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HA-article-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/HA-article-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1601502\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/Liza-43162\/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=188440\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liza Trinidad<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=image&utm_content=188440\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pixabay<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"top-up-through-your-diet\"><strong>Top Up Through Your Diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is good news. You can top up on your hyaluronic acid stores when they deplete, and as usual, there are two main ways: through your diet and supplements. The food you consume is the most accessible method since you must eat to survive. Plus, the ingredients with the biggest impact are classed as everyday items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leafy greens and citrus fruits are imperative for different reasons. The former contains magnesium, and magnesium is known to boost HA production. Therefore, you should add avocados, nuts, and seeds to your recipes (hint: they work perfectly in a salad!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latter is a protector. Citrus fruits \u2013 oranges, lemons, limes, etc., \u2013 contain something called naringenin, which is a flavonoid that stops things such as ultraviolet light attacking HA levels. Fruits are everywhere, but if you don\u2019t eat a large amount, you enjoy them for dessert instead sugary snacks after mealtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding supplements, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S101113441400390X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research shows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that taking hyaluronic acid tablets two times a day for four weeks positively improves your skin\u2019s hydration and elasticity. It doesn\u2019t take much, either, as you can consume the supplements after breakfast and before bed with little effort. Studies suggest they will help with aches and pains that are synonymous with your joints, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"dont-go-vegan\"><strong>Don\u2019t Go Vegan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/top-restaurants-to-enjoy-vegan-food-in-vegas\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">against veganism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or vegetarianism \u2013 it\u2019s a noble cause that\u2019s saving the planet \u2013 yet it\u2019s not good for your zinc intake. Zinc and hyaluronic acid are very much linked, so if you lack one, you\u2019ll almost certainly have low levels of the other. And, it turns out that vegan and vegetarian diets make it harder to get the daily recommended amount.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On average, adult men require 11 milligrams a day, and adult women need <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/ss\/slideshow-zinc-mineral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 milligrams<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Typically, you would get this through your diet, yet only if you eat meat. It\u2019s worth noting there\u2019s no need to unleash your inner carnivore as too much red meat is unhealthy. Still, small quantities contain zinc and top-up your levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a veggie, you don\u2019t have to jump back on the bandwagon as there are other ways to get the zinc that you need, such as dairy products. Of course, this isn\u2019t vegan-friendly, which is where it becomes more of a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, nuts and seeds are packed with hyaluronic acid boosters, so you can lean on them if you\u2019re against eating meat entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Are these hacks part of your skincare routine?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">On the face of it, hyaluronic acid (HA) sounds as if it burns.
