Collagen Stimulation and How to Be Sure Your Skin Care Products Has What It Takes

As we age our skin needs collagen stimulation to help us get rid of wrinkles and fine lines. Most everyone wants to look as young as they can, and using the correct products on our skin can help us succeed at this.

The anti aging skin creams we use need certain ingredients in them to provide collagen stimulation, because it is the loss of this protein as we age that causes the fine lines and wrinkles to begin appearing.

Some manufacturers want us to believe that by purchasing their products that contain collagen will do the trick at keeping us young looking. This is a false belief and won’t help keep your skin from getting wrinkles and fine lines. The collagen molecules need to get into the layers of the skin and they can’t because they are too large to penetrate.

You need to check the ingredients. There needs to be certain substances for collagen stimulation to actually happen. The following list is some of what you need to find in an anti aging cream to help rid yourself of wrinkles and fine lines.

Avocado Oil: This is a rich penetrating oil. A study in Israel found it significantly increases the amount of collagen in the skin when used topically. Along with decreasing wrinkles it will also reduce age spots.

Active Manuka Honey: This honey has special health benefits for skin along with helping you have younger looking skin. It has antibacterial elements to help heal the skin. It supports the skin’s renewal process and builds stronger collagen.

Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10: A form of Coenzyme Q10 this amazing ingredient in skin creams help to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Many skin care products will contain some form of Coenzyme Q10, but other forms will not penetrate deep enough to do the work that this special nano-emulsion one does. Those other brands simply stay on the surface of the skin, basically being ineffective.

Cynergy TK: This contains a unique form of bio-active keratin, known as Functional Keratin. In most other products for the skin, high temperatures and acid are used to render the keratin so it can be mixed in with the cream and lotions. Keratin developed this way destroys the benefits for the skin. CynergyTK uses a gentler method of keratin solublization ensuring the polymers remain fully available for the skin.

Synthetic Collagen and Why I am Not Waiting For It

Collagen is one of the substances that help our skin to stay young looking. Some people are hoping synthetic collagen in injections will bring back their youthful appearance again.

In the past using synthetic in collagen injections wasn’t available because scientist couldn’t figure out how to make a product that closely resembled human collagen. In 2006 scientist in Wisconsin created the first synthetic collagen that can be used for medical purposes in burn patients and reconstruction of bones. There are also plans in using this collagen for cosmetic purposes, such as collagen injections, but at this time there is not enough produced for that reason.

Collagen injections now are comprised mainly of bovine collagen. These can cause allergic reactions and skin infections. If you are one that is not allergic to the test done before the procedure, you still may develop an infection if the doctor doing the procedure doesn’t adhere to strict hygiene practices.

These injections also are only good for a few months, then you have to go back and have them done again. They are done by plastic surgeons, so you know they aren’t going to be cheap.

As far as the synthetic collagen goes, a lot of studies need to done, before I would deem it safe to inject into the skin. Putting synthetic things into our body just doesn’t sit right with me. I would much rather go natural. I am certainly not one waiting around for a collagen injection.

Instead I have found natural skin care products that stimulate my body to increase collagen. I can’t get more natural collagen than that. Products that do this contain some special ingredients listed below.

1) Functional Keratin found in CynergyTK. Works great at stimulating the body to produce collagen to rid your face of wrinkles and fine lines.

2) Nano-Lipobelle H EQ10 a form of CoenzymeQ10 that also stimulates the body to produce more natural collagen.

3) Active manuka honey works well stimulating the immune system and also supports the skin’s renewal process to build stronger collagen.

4) Phytessence Wakame helps to maintain the collagen and elastin in our skin by stopping the activity of hyaluronidase at destroying the hyaluronic acid in our skin.

You can find all these substances in anti aging skin care products from a company in New Zealand. So don’t wait around for synthetic collagen to be used for cosmetic purposes. This is available right now and is safe and very effective.

1)      Don’t use harsh chemicals on your skin.  These will irritate your skin, causing itching, redness, and other skin problems.  Some chemicals will even put you more at risk of developing cancer.  Some substances to watch out for and stay away from are acrylamide, DEA, MEA, TEA, dioxane, nitrosamines, polyethylene glycol and triclosan.

2)      Don’t use alcohols such as ethanol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol or SD alcohol. They will dry your skin and strip your natural acid mantle leaving you more vulnerable to bacteria, molds and viruses.

3)      Mineral oil is another no, no for healthy skin.  It may also show up on label as paraffin, paraffin wax or petrolatum.  These are petroleum by-products that will coat your skin and clog the pores.  This will interfere with your skin’s ability to eliminate toxins, which will cause you a ton of skin problems and other health concerns.

4)      Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin.  At least eight 8-ounce glasses a day, more if you are exercising heavily and sweating profusely.  This is one of the easiest skin anti aging tips to practice daily.

5)      Use natural products on your skin. Plant based ingredients have the nourishment your skin needs to stay healthy.  Things like grapeseed oil, avocado oil, olive oil, active manuka honey, shea butter, babassu.

6)      Don’t smoke.  Smoking damages the skin because the smoke from tobacco contains thousands of chemicals.  When these chemicals come in contact with the skin oxidation occurs, and the free radicals attack the skin cells resulting in overly dry skin.
