276: National Hyaluronic Acid Day

<div>If you didn’t know, hyaluronic acid – or HA – is a sugar naturally found in our skin.<br> <br> It acts like a sponge, holding vast amounts of water effectively, keeping it hydrated, moisturized, and plump. It is also a critical component of skin barrier repair.<br> <br> The skin is the largest organ and the body’s first defense against external aggressors. As we age, the amount of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in our bodies depletes, which causes the skin to become dehydrated, prematurely aged, and less able to fend off aggressors. So, one of the most important things you can do is use hyaluronic acid in your daily skincare routine.<br> <br> <br> It heals skin barrier damage by creating an invisible surface barrier on your skin to replenish and lock in essential moisture. And La Roche-Posay’s best-selling <a href="https://www.laroche-posay.us/our-products/anti-aging/anti-aging-serum/hyalu-b5-pure-hyaluronic-acid-serum-hyaluB5serum.html?dwvar_hyaluB5serum_size=30ML">Hyalu B5 Serum</a> is just the best.
