Skin-Care Goodies That Will Totally Change Your Skin

Skin-care ingredients: They're just like us! They crave recognition for workplace achievements, bust their butts to acquire new skills, and network with compatible colleagues (while quietly avoiding those that rub them the wrong way). Read this report, inspired by LinkedIn, and let their connections improve your complexion.

For Acne: Salicylic Acid and Moringa Oil

Salicylic acid knows a thing or two about busting zits, and it's found a true pimple-eradicating coworker in moringa oil, graduate of the prestigious horseradish trees of India and Africa. The oil is lightweight, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial—music to the ears of anyone struggling with breakouts. It doesn't replace standard anti-acne products (probably why sal doesn't feel threatened) but, rather, complements them.

In fact, salicylic acid does a great job laying the groundwork for moringa when they're on a project together: Washing your face with sal, which exfoliates and unclogs pores, creates the perfect conditions for moringa to go in and do its thing, penetrating deeply to calm redness and kill bacteria, thanks to its sulfur and zinc properties. Just pat a couple of drops over your entire face before moisturizer and SPF.

For Dry Skin: Hyalauronic Acid

HA, as it's known among colleagues, already has an established career as a derm-injected filler that boosts volume in the cheeks and lips and under the eyes, and as a lauded facial moisturizer that can hold 1,000 times its weight in water (meaning mega hydration for your skin). So why is this seasoned pro suddenly getting a ton of attention?

The newest OTC formulas are helping HA move up the skin-care corporate ladder. Instead of being just one of many ingredients in a cream, hyaluronic acid is taking center stage in serums: Multiple molecular weights of it are being cocktailed in a way that research shows can stimulate your own production of HA, so your skin is moisturized (and slightly plumper) from within, not just on the surface. Pros say it's particularly great for the 30-and-above crowd, because our natural hyaluronic acid production takes a nosedive when we exit our twenties.
