Hyaluronic Acid is a called a humectant which means that it draws water into the top layer of the skin. Our bodies are 70% water and each of our cells need water to live, thrive and function. HA is hydrating and helps our skin cells to receive the moisture they need.
When we are young our bodies produce HA abundantly and easily replace it when lost (you know that beautiful soft feel of an infants skin? HA is in abundance!)
HA provides continuous moisture to the skin by binding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Smooth, elastic young skin is naturally loaded with HA - as our young bodies produce HA abundantly and easily replace what is lost. Unfortunately as we age, the amount of HA that our bodies are able to produce decreases and consequently the amount of HA in our skin drops significantly. In addition the amount of HA in our skin is destroyed by free radicals through exposure to pollutants and sunlight. With less HA in our bodies, our skin loses its ability to hold water, leading us to be more prone to dry skin and wrinkles.
The Hyaluronic Acid and Argan Oil will gradually wash out over 30 washes.
After this time, you will still be able to reap the many benefits of sleeping on silk.
Absolutely! It's great for people with sensitive skin. So much more gentle on the skin than cotton as there is less friction. Plus with the addition of Hyaluronic Acid and Argan Oil, it provides extra hydration and moisture to the skin. Silk is also naturally hypoallergenic, so great for those with allergies!
