Moisturizers are staples of our daily self-care regime. You wake up, you wash your face, you tone (admittedly, sometimes you forget!) and you hydrate your skin. As we age, moisturizing our skin becomes more important as our skin loses moisture, resulting in a loss of plumpness. The search for the perfect moisturizer is endless but fret no more, I come to end your plight.
 
 
The secret ingredient to the best moisturizers on the market today is Hyaluronic Acid. Not a very sexy name but its benefits are more than attractive, they are effective. Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant and considered to have a greater capacity to hold moisture than any other natural or synthetic polymer. It is actually a natural component of our skin and is present in connective tissue throughout our body. Suitable for all skin types, it is a sought-after ingredient for those who seek a hydrating product that can also reduce signs of aging.
This magic ingredient is formulated in moisturizers that can be found in your local beauty stores. Below are my top 5 suggestions.
