Increasing Collagen In Your Facial Skin Can Remove Fine Lines And Reduce Wrinkles
Your probably are aware that collagen is one of three important skin proteins, the others being elastin and keratin.
You get wrinkles because as you age these skin proteins degrade; other contributors are poor skin moisturizing causing dry skin, and environmental issues particularly UV-A sunray exposure.
Collagen fibers join to form a matrix giving skin structure, thickness and strength. Elastin fibers form a different type of matrix and are instrumental in giving your skin stretch, spring and elasticity.
As you can imagine when these two proteins start breaking down and degrade your skin starts to lose thickness, strength, structure, stretch and it's ability to spring back to its original shape.
You've no doubt heard of collagen injections to reduce wrinkles. There's no doubt it works because the collagen is injected immediately under the wrinkle pushing it up and outwards reducing it's size and depth. The downside to this treatment is its temporary, time consuming and reasonably expensive.
On the other hand there are skin creams that contain collagen, the manufacturers lead people into believing applying it topically will increase collagen production in their skin. But, this is incorrect because collagen molecules are about five times too large to fit through your epidermis. Therefore, they can't get down to the collagen matrix level. Also collagen isn't a stimulant that allows more collagen to grow.
The types of skin care creams that can increase collagen and for that matter elastin in your dermis, are ones that contain natural substances, which are able to stimulate these proteins to grow.
Two ingredients that are included in the natural skin cream I now use are the unique new substance Cynergy TK"(TM)" and Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 a special form of CoenzymeQ10. Both are capable of boosting your collagen and elastin skin cell levels.
There are only a few ways of increasing collagen in your skin. To my way of thinking the natural skin cream option is the best, easiest and most affordable one.
At my website, I discuss more on the above substances and other natural cutting edge ingredients in detail, that I chose to use daily.
