Hyaluronic acid, you have probably heard of it recently as it is taking the natural beauty world by storm! So What is it? It is a clear, gooey substance that is naturally produced by your body. Mostly found in your skin, connective tissue and eyes. The importance of it is to retain water to keep tissues moist and well lubricated. You can use it in a variety of ways such as eye drops, injections, topical serums. Personally i have been using it as apart of my daily beauty routine, you can apply it with your moisturiser or pre-moisturiser, it makes your skill feel plump and hydrated, also on the plus side it does not feel oily at all.
