Hyaluronic acid is one of the most powerful humectants known. In fact, one gram of hyaluronic acid holds about 1000 ml of water! It is a natural molecule of sugar (polysaccharides) that occurs naturally in the skin and connective tissue structures. 
As we age, skin moisture can significantly drop, which causes the appearance of signs of aging such as notable loss of elasticity (sagging skin) and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid, with its unique ability to hold moisture, plays a critical role in skin health, plumping your facial features for a more supple, youthful complexion.

☃️ Winter is slowly but surely coming to Vancouver. How the skincare routine should be changed during the cold season?
Here are some essential tips:
1. Remove your make up with a cleansing oil (not soap or gel). 
A lot of over the counter makeup removers are alcohol based and/or have a lot of detergents which can seriously dry out the skin. Instead, try a natural oil-based product, which will take off your makeup and nourish your skin in the process.
2. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize.
Due to indoor heating, the skin feels much drier than usual. It removes moisture from the air, which lowers skin's resistance and makes surface cells dry out. The temperature might be quite comfortable, but dry, itchy skin will often follow. The outdoor absolute air humidity is low, which is again contributes to drying the skin.
3. Protect the skin with an appropriate product. Usually, the winter creams are much heavier than regular ones. If you are not comfortable with a greasy feeling, find the professional products which protect but have a nice melting texture.

Why is the skin sagging? It happens when the skin loses its polysaccharides (hyaluronic acid) and essential proteins such as collagen and elastin. 

At a young age, the skin has the plentiful stores of collagen and elastin. With time, they begin to break down and the skin starts to look sunken, sallow, and discolored.

Natural moisturizing factor (NMF) is a combination of substances that regulate the moisture level of the skin by binding and holding water molecules. It`s naturally produced by the cells of stratum corneum.
In our formulas, we use a variety of these substances to ensure proper hydration of the skin layers.

Why is it important?
-Maintains skin smoothness and elasticity
-Supports the barrier function of the skin
- Activates hydrolytic enzymes which are necessary for natural dead skin shedding (desquamation).
