Regenerate Skin - Stimulating Collagen and Elastin

Everyone wants to know how to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the body, but many skin care companies are using advertising to perpetuate a myth! The simple truth is that you cannot apply these ingredients topically to your skin surface in a collagen moisturizer and expect them to stimulate new collagen growth to reverse the skins of aging.

The collagen molecules added to a skin care product are just too large to be absorbed into the skin. Instead, for younger skin, you have to stimulate the body to renew skin cells and produce these two important proteins on their own. So, the next time you see some ad promoting the ingredient “collagen”, don’t fall for this myth. Collagen in a moisturizer might provide some moisturizing benefits, but it absolutely will not stimulate natural growth of collagen.

If you want truly younger looking, radiant skin, collagen and elastin are actually quite important. These natural proteins are responsible for the skin’s elasticity and strength. In other words, they work to prevent wrinkles and skin sagging. As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin. As collagen begins to break down, our skin loses its youthful supple texture, and wrinkles begin to appear. Collagen injections are sometimes given as a filler material to plump the skin back out, but it is far better to try and get the body to generate new natural collagen and elastin than to just add it to the surface of skin.

Many quality skin care lines have adapted their products and removed collagen from the ingredient list, since it is clear that it doesn’t do any good in stimulating new collagen growth. Using the results of modern scientific research, several natural ingredients have been identified that are proven to regenerate collagen and elastin in the skin.

If you’re shopping for a skin care product to boost real collagen and elastin growth, look for the some of the following ingredients: Phytessence Wakame, Cynergy TK, as well as supporting ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, CoenzymeQ10 (an antioxidant) and alpha hydroxy acids. These ingredients work well together to stimulate cellular turnover and create healthier, glowing skin.

Phytessence Wakame (from Japanese sea kelp) is an excellent natural antioxidant that also helps prevent cellular breakdown that contributes to aging, and Cynergy TK has been proven in scientific studies to rejuvenate skin and trigger new collagen and elastin formation.

The next time you’re shopping for a skin care line, be sure to read the ingredients list, and look for products that will truly stimulate collagen and elastin production in the body, and not just offer empty promises. If you’re going to apply a product to your skin, at least it should give you some visible results.

I personally recommend you look into the new skin care line from XTend Life. They use more natural active ingredients with proven clinical results than other skin care product, and they guarantee your satisfaction.
