Introduction
Hyaluronic acid is a hydration hero—but is it still effective in dry, cold air? Absolutely, as long as you use it correctly. Here’s how to maximize its benefits in your winter skincare routine.
What Is Hyaluronic Acid and What Does It Do?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a humectant that pulls moisture into the skin. It helps plump the skin, reduce fine lines, and improve elasticity.
Why It’s a Must-Have in Winter
Your skin loses water more quickly in winter. HA helps to attract and retain moisture, counteracting the effects of cold air and indoor heating.
How to Apply It Correctly in Dry Air
Apply HA on slightly damp skin to give it moisture to bind to. Follow immediately with a moisturizer or oil to lock it in.
Layering HA with Other Products
HA plays well with most ingredients, including niacinamide, ceramides, and peptides. Use it after cleansing and before heavier serums or creams.
Choosing the Right HA Serum
Look for serums with different molecular weights of HA (low + high) for deeper hydration. Avoid sticky or alcohol-heavy formulas.
Example Routine Featuring HA
- Cleanse
- Apply HA serum on damp skin
- Seal with rich moisturizer
- Optional: Top with facial oil
