If there is one sad reality about our appearance, it is the fact that as we age. Our levels of collagen and elastin (two of the most important skin proteins) diminish, resulting to the appearance of lines, wrinkles and bags. So, to help most beauty conscious people with this problem, some of them resort to different treatments.
At the present, manufacturers of the anti-aging product that flood the markets claim that their anti-aging products contain collagen and other types of protein to help reverse the signs of aging. While it is true that protein especially collagen plays a very crucial role in staying youthful as we age, not all products have successfully processed the protein to be effective when applied to the face.
Several products that assure the public consumers of pure collagen content in their anti-aging product are definitely useless when the molecules of collagen are too large to imbue the skin. Another truth about anti-aging products is that collagen is not the only protein that is anti-aging.
Keratin or Ceratin is another fibrous scleroprotein that is also naturally occurring in us. They can be found in the outer layer of the skin and in horny tissues like the feathers, hairs, hooves and nails in most animals. One type of keratin is Cynergy TK, which is obtained from a sheep’s wool in New Zealand. It can do amazing things to the body when it comes to secretion of pure collagen and may help fight the aging process.
For any anti-aging product-that are available at the present-to be effective must have also antioxidants to work together harmoniously to the advantage of those who are fighting the effects of aging. Before buying any anti-aging product, it is practical to know the nature, purpose and effect of every ingredient used in it besides protein to avoid incurring damages to the skin especially to the face.
