If you have been searching for natural skin care products, you have probably seen collagen mentioned a lot. In keeping with our theme of short and to the point, here are some important things to know about collagen.
- It is a vital protein in the support structure of your skin that gives it that firm, youthful appearance.
- As the levels in your body decrease, your skin loses support and wrinkles form.
- Collagen in a skin care product will not replace the collagen your skin has lost.
- Collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed into the skin topically.
The best skin care products will have ingredients that promote your bodies production of collagen. These ingredients are known as pentapeptides or simply peptides. We aren’t going to get more technical than that.
While collagen may be injected into your skin, not everyone wants a needle in the face. And injecting collagen is a temporary fix, it doesn’t make your body produce more collagen.
Also remember that topical skin care products take 4 to 6 weeks to begin showing noticeable effects on your skin. Your skin will begin to feel better very quickly though.
