COLLAGEN CREAMS ARE A ERIP OFF. COLLAGEN MOLECULES ARE TOO LARGE TO PENETRATE THE SKIN! COLLAGEN CREAMS DONT WORK, BJT THESE TIPS DO.....
1. Collagen supplements.
1. Collagen supplements.
A bit of a no
brainer, really. Collagen supplements can be found at good health food shops as
well as chemists.
2. Creams that
contain retinol or retinoid.
A derivative of
vitamin A, retional increases cell turnover, thus stimulating collagen
production.
3. Stop smoking!
Yes i know this is a
boring one, but smoking creates enzymes that damage the collagen in your skin.
4.another boring
one...stay skin safe in the sun.
UVA rays penetrate
skin and damage the skins support system.
5. up your vitamin C
intake.
6.Take antioxidant
supplements/source foods high in antioxidants and eat more of them.
Antioxidants protect
against free radicals (damaged skin cells) that fgeed off healthy skin cells.
7. Exfoliate.
Using products such
as glycolic acid/lacitc acid, etc , we are not only sloughing off the dead skin
cells, we are "shaking up" the skins support system, triggering us to
produce more collagen.
8. cut back on sugar.
.excess sugar in the
blood attaches itself to lipids and proteins (collagen especially) which
advances the ageing proces.
9. Massage...
again, like no 7, it
literally stimulates your lymph glands which not only gives a good rush of
blood to your skin but also encourages cxollagen production.
10. visit your
beautician! There a number of other methods well worth a try...copper peptides
is a recent succes story for skin renewal, but to really finds out whats best
for your skin, its worth visiting a beautician. Nopt only that but certain cell
renewal procedures, like scuptra, radiesse, etc, can only be performed by a
qualified practioner. My recommendation is Botastic in Willerby
