ACIDS
Hyaluronic acid is able to
hold 1000 times its weight
in water, making it a must
for plumping up parched
skin. Look for it in creams
and serums for a super-
charged hydration hit.
COPPER
This mineral is
enlisted for its ability
to boost collagen and
elastin production
and increase wound
healing. It also
helps fight bacteria
and reduce lines
and wrinkles.
DMAE
DMAE is a derivative of the B vitamin
choline. “It has been around for
years as an oral supplement that’s
popularly believed to improve
mental alertness,” says Begoun. The
ingredient is also thought by some
to firm the skin and calm redness.
“There seems to be an initial
benefit that improves skin
firmness,” adds Begoun.
