I wonder if every time you go to a skin care market you first rate the collagen and elastin enhancers before buying them. I hope you are one wise consumer like me too, modesty aside.
I value money very well. You realize this most when you begin losing them on expensive yet ineffective skin care products.
There is one basic factor to consider when rating collagen and elastin enhancers, and that is the kind of ingredients used. Many skin care products that claim to help you eliminate wrinkles by enhancing your skin's elasticity claim to be as good as the rest.
And yet we continue to hear consumer complaints that some brands are more effective in helping us address this skin condition than others.
Our body heals itself but...
Our body is a work of a genius. It is a complex structure made of interlinking tissues, organs and systems that help us attain overall balance and proper functioning. The skin, in particular, is a good example. It is inherently capable of replenishing dead and damaged cells even without the application of various topical creams, among others.
Dead cells found at the stratum corneum are continuously replaced by newer and healthier cells. As we advance in age, however, this ability to replenish on its own becomes diminished. The natural aging process, accumulation of toxins and presence of free radicals in the body, among other reasons, weaken the ability of the skin to rejuvenate itself. It is at this point that our timely intervention becomes essential.
Intervening with this natural process does not mean disturbing the normal balance of the skin. It only means enhancing the innate healing powers of the skin itself. And this is where careful examination of skin care products comes in.
Many skin care products contain harmful substances. Some of them are known to cause cancer. Instead of helping the body regenerate collagen and elastin, they inhibit the body further because of their harsh effects inside the body. In case you do not know yet, watch out for products that contain dioxanne, fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol, etc.
What ingredients to look for
Real working skin care products that effectively enhance collagen and elastin should contain natural ingredients that boost their productions. Essential micronutrients found in Phytessence Wakame, Nano Lipobelle Coenzyme H-EQ10 and Cynergy TK have long been proven to help the body produce more collagen and elastin.
Phytessence Wakame, in particular, is rich in Hyaluronic acid that acts like glue, binding collagen and elastin. There two natural body proteins are essential in keeping your skin elastic and healthy. Unless they bundle together, they could not individually create elasticity within the skin layers. Beware of products that contains collagen and elastin themselves.
Truth to tell, these do not work at all. It is precisely because the molecular sizes of collagen and elastin are huge enough to enable them to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. A topical treatment that is absorbed only in the uppermost layer of the skin give only palliative and temporary relief.
And now that you know how to rate collagen and elastin enhancers, you may begin your search for products that work best on your skin.
