Have you ever wondered if anti wrinkle creams containing collagen and elastin do actually work? I did and so I decided to do some research and find out.
You may be surprised at what I discovered.
Advertising The anti wrinkle, anti aging market is a huge one that basically plays on our insecurities about how we view ourselves.
The pressure on women in particular to look as young as they possible can is immense.
When they get it right the world is rosy and the woman is commended for her efforts , put a foot wrong and it's mutton dressed as lamb, she's trying too hard or various other unfavourable comments.
There is no middle ground.
Its no wonder then that many of us fall victim to the advertising hype that surrounds many of the major skin care brands.
The use of popular celebrities to promote their skin care is common and we fall for the "I could look as good as her" inference that goes along with it.
What we forget is that what we see is the end product of either a photo shoot or advertising campaign that comes with a make-up artist in tow.
The claims that are made however is the biggest draw for many women, after all who wouldn't want to look younger in just a few days just by slapping on a cream? The problem here lies with the scientific facts that the big names don't tell you.
Science Bit Collagen and elastin are major components in your skin's structure in fact they are two of the most common proteins to be found anywhere in your body.
They form part of your skeleton, ligaments and tendons and at the most basic level could be said to glue us together.
You would think then that anti wrinkle cream containing collagen and elastin would be the ideal think to apply to your skin however there's a snag.
They are long chain proteins and are made up of molecules too big to be absorbed through the skin.
This means that no matter much collagen you apply to your skin it is just going to sit on the surface doing not a lot for you.
The cream its self may make your skin feel better in the short term but your wrinkles will still be there weeks later.
Solution There is however a way around this issue of replacing lost collagen.
The solution is to encourage your skin to restart its production of collagen and elastin and bring it to levels found in much younger skin.
As your skin ages collagen and elastin supplies break down leaving the structure of your skin weakened and unable to retain its supple, youthful appearance.
Wrinkles are the end result of this process.
Although using anti wrinkle cream containing collagen and elastin will not work, using an anti wrinkle cream that encourages the natural production of collagen and elastin will work.
There is a skin care range available today that actively promotes production of collagen and elastin in your skin and it will give you astonishing results.
They may not be noticeable in a few days but try it for a month and you will be astounded with the difference you see.
The ingredients used are all-natural and have been used for centuries because of their healing and restorative powers.
Believe me.
Once you start to apply this skin care product you will understand the power your have over the aging process.
