Thanks to the resoluteness of the youth. I knew of childhood friends who started using face creams but ended up damaging their dermis. What went wrong? Let us find out how.
Skin 101
The skin is made up of at least seven dermal layers. The uppermost layer, called stratus corneum, is actually the very surface you can see, touch and feel. Beneath it are inner layers that contain sebaceous glands, connective tissues, fatty cells, capillaries, etc. Together, they create a complex structure that performs many functions.
Also present are the millions of collagen bundles. These are composed of collagen and elastin proteins being held together. There are also produced naturally by the body. Just like any other cell types, these bundles also degenerate and need to be replaced continually.
Lest you forget, collagen bundles support the skin layers by making them firm and elastic at the same time. Try to poke or press the skin surface. When it comes back to its original shape, you see collagen in action actually. But when it takes longer to retain original shape, well, you need to do something.
This happens because collagen mass beneath is diminishing. Although the body produces its own collagen supply, it can no longer supplement as the rate fast enough to replace the damaged and dying collagen structures. It is either because the body is getting slower in regenerating collagen cells or some environmental factors hasten their loss.
Why some creams are not effective?
Many face creams are readily available in the market nowadays. It is getting dizzying to choose the right one considering the sheer number being sold. Sad to say, most of these products do not serve their intended purpose. Many are ineffective in rejuvenating the skin. A lot of them contain harmful compounds that further deteriorate the condition. But more notably, many do not contain the right ingredients known to boost collagen production.
Choose products that are made only of natural substances, like Cynergy TK. Cynergy TK is a vitamin-like natural compound extracted from the wool of sheep especially raised in New Zealand. It contains Functional Keratin, which is responsible in keeping cellular membranes firm. It is also known to effectively promote faster collagen production.
Another equally important ingredient is Hyaluronic acid. This is abundantly found in Phytessence Wakame, exotic kelp found only in Japan Sea. Hyaluronic acid serves as glue, helping collagen and elastin combine together to form collagen bundles.
You also need to choose products that contain natural moisturizing substances. They help your skin absorb and retain more moisture. Note that proper rehydration is essential in keeping your skin smooth and glowing.
Maintaining healthy skin is an ideal thing but not impossible. Help protect yourself by choosing only the best face creams made from natural substances.
