Hyaluronic Acid: What It Does and Why It Matters

Hyaluronic acid is often recommended to help with dry or tired-looking skin. It’s a substance the body naturally produces, and its main role is to hold moisture. Over time, our natural levels decrease, which can leave the skin feeling less hydrated and more prone to fine lines and dullness.

How It Works

One of hyaluronic acid’s key benefits is its ability to bind water to the skin. It draws in moisture and helps keep it there. This supports a smoother, more comfortable skin surface and can help improve the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration.

When applied regularly, hyaluronic acid can help:

  • Improve skin hydration
  • Support the skin’s barrier function
  • Soften the appearance of fine lines
  • Help the skin feel more balanced and less tight

Why Use a Hydrating Serum

The reason I tell my clients to use hyaluronic acid is simple: it helps the skin hold onto moisture. This reduces that tight, uncomfortable feeling and softens the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration. It’s a straightforward but effective way to keep the skin balanced, especially when external factors like colder weather, central heating, air travel, and daily stress are making it harder to stay hydrated.

I really rate Environ’s Focus Care Moisture+ Hydrating Serum, which contains a concentrated form of hyaluronic acid. It’s designed to support the skin’s natural moisture levels and is particularly helpful during seasonal changes, travel, or periods of stress, times when the skin often feels more dry or reactive.

Apply it to clean, slightly damp skin before your moisturiser, morning and evening. This helps lock in hydration and allows the serum to absorb more effectively. It can be easily added into most routines and works well alongside other active ingredients.

The Truth About Sunbeds: Debunking Common Myths

Sunbeds aren’t the shortcut to beauty they’re made out to be. Classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, sunbeds expose your skin to high-intensity UVA rays, significantly increasing the risk of melanoma and premature aging. Despite myths, they don’t prepare your skin for sun exposure, provide vitamin D, or protect you from sunburn. In fact, sunbeds accelerate skin damage, causing wrinkles, pigmentation, and a loss of elasticity. No matter why you think that you need one, they are never safe, and we'll tell you why fake tan is the way forward...
