As you get older your skin ages too, and one of the results of this skin aging is that the skin loses it's elasticity. So there are many women searching for answers to increasing skin elasticity. Like vitamins and supplements and creams.
Do vitamins for skin elasticity work, or collagen supplements, or creams?
Let take a look at what skin elasticity is and why you need to increase skin elasticity as you age.
If you're interested in skin care chances are you've heard of elastin and collagen, 2 skin and body proteins essential for good looking skin. These help keep your skin firm but supple and both these characteristics are important for wrinkle free skin.
But as you age your skin starts to lose its stores of elastin and collagen. And as these contribute hugely to keeping wrinkles and lines at bay the loss of collagen and elastin is a major cause of your skin starting to develop the wrinkles and lines that bedevil us as we age.
(And theres other factors too, like sun damage and smoking, both of which are terrible for your skin.)
Abut as your skin loses it's elasticity it starts to sag and that is the beginning of wrinkles and lines.
So science has been trying to come up with answers to increasing skin elasticity by increasing collagen and elastin in our skin.
Youve probably seen many anti aging skin care products containing collagen and elastin on the shelves. Its quite common now to see this. Unfortunately though, this doesnt replenish the stores of collagen and elastin in your skin. Why? Because the molecules of collagen and elastin are too large to enter the skin. This has been known for some time.
So why are they in the bottles if they don't really do anything? Because the companies know that consumers will buy them if they see them on the label.
And collagen supplements have never been conclusively shown to increase skin collagen either.
But our scientists aren't resting, they have found a way to stimulate the skin to produce more elastin and collagen itself and it works.
And you can now get skin care products that contain a patented new ingredient called Cynergy TK. Trials in the use of these products have shown quite quick visible results.
But Cynergy TK is really expensive and so the big name companies don't put it in their products. They spend more on advertising and less on product quality.
But not all companies are like this. One small niche skin care company has decided not to advertise but to spend on product quality instead, and they make superb products that do include Cynergy TK.
So yes increasing skin elasticity through increasing elastin and collagen is possible, and does work. But not as you might expect, and not through collagen supplements or vitamins or creams that contain collagen and elastin. You just need to get the skin to grow more of it's own.
