Hyalauronic acid based products make up a large part of today’s anti-aging skincare products. However the molecules in this anti-aging active are too big for the skin to absorb. I have seen a few products that offer fractionated Hyalauronic acid molecules but not many DIY actives for adding to your custom (home made) made formulations.
Hirulip recently peaked my interest as it is effectively a Hyalauronic acid based fractionated active that is able to penetrate the epidermis. While this active is primarily used in products specially meant for use on the lips it seems to me it could be helpful when included in anti-aging wrinkle plumping formulations. 
Please let me know your opinion of DIY self use of Hirulip in anti-wrinkle formulations. Also if you know of any other Hyalauronic based fractionated actives that are available for self purchase...
Thanks a bunch!!  |

Bulk Actives sell a fractionated hyaluronic acid at a very reasonable price, just a few dollars more than regular hyaluronic acid. Personally I get good enough results with the regular kind so I can't be bothered to buy the fractionated kind.
I've discovered that hydrating from the inside (with proper water based food) does as much if not more for the appearance of my skin as anything I put on it topically.
I work in aircraft cabins all day, an environment with a relative humidity of around 10% (extremely dry) so I've experimented a lot with keeping my skin hydrated. I've discovered that I get best results from the combination of a topical hyaluronic acid lotion\cream in conjunction with drinking a glass of barley grass juice in the morning, and eating a plateful of fresh water laden fruit such as watermelon, orange, cucumber before my morning meal.
Drinking water doesn't do as much for your skin as eating a water-based food. Drinking water tends to have a flushing action on the body rather than a hydrating one. But when the water is naturally packaged in with other nutritive ingredients (as it is in food) then it's hydrating power is excellent. The movement of the water is slowed through the body as the fibre and nutrients are digested giving it enough time to be transported into the cells rather than being flushed through the urinary tract.
Also if you are drinking water then it's so much better to drink a cup of warm water than a lot of cold water for the same reason. Water uptake in the body is much improved when it's body temperature or slightly above. You may notice that in Ayurveda water is never drunk cold, always at body temperature. |
