Let's produce our own hyaluronic acid. Yes, you, the human being reading this. You are going to help your body produce its own hyaluronic acid.
How?
Hold on. First, let's look at what hyaluronic acid does in our body.
The dermis and subcutaneous tissue are the connective tissue layers of the skin. Think of the connective tissue as the spider web of the body.
As the skin stretches, connective tissue produces hyaluronic acid, which is basically the water within this spider web. Thanks to this water, your body stays flexible.
As you age, the connective tissue dries out. Skin loses its flexibility.
Collagen is a major component of connective tissue, and the skin's dermis contains 80% of the body's total collagen.
When you massage your face with a Gua Sha tool, you are producing your own hyaluronic acid = the water of the body and skin becomes flexible again.
Just like yin yoga poses help squeeze, compress, and stretch the connective tissues to produce more hyaluronic acid, massage with a Gua Sha tool does the same to your facial connective tissue.
I suggest massaging your face at the cleansing stage when you have a good amount of Jojoba on your face with one of our Gua Sha tools.
The improved blood circulation and the heat you create with the movement make the perfect environment for nutrients inside the Rose Water and our Elixirs to work on your skin.
Just like having a warm bath after running, your skin is ready to soak in everything plants have to offer inside our elixirs after a good massage.
All these terms we read online such as "hyaluronic acid", they feel like a supplement you should be taking when you hear them, right?
"I lack", you say. "I lack what they say". "I lack it. I must get it externally".
It turns out the human body, your body, is the inspiration for that article, that term you read.
It turns out the cure is in you. It has always been you.
with all my love,
