We all know that ordeal – we look in the mirror one day, only to see fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin! If it hasn’t happened yet, it will eventually happen: time will take its toll on each of us and the signs are more noticeable on our faces.
If only there was a miracle cream that would restore the youthful appearance of your skin forever, but of course, there isn’t. However, there are good skin creams that can help you put off the process for several years, and even when the wrinkles are already there, some creams can significantly smooth them out.
But you know it as well as I do – there are thousands upon thousands of skin creams to choose from, whether you’re shopping online, at department stores, or at your local grocery store. Not to mention, they all promise to make you look younger or give you better skin.
Today, the most popular fashion products seem to be collagen moisturizers, which, as the name suggests, contain collagen and claim to help replace the collagen that your skin loses as you age.
Collagen is indeed a very important protein for the skin, and a fact is also that our bodies lose the ability to produce it as we age. The end result: wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin.
When it comes to collagen, there are many useless products on the market that promise that by applying collagen cream directly to your face, the collagen will penetrate your skin, making you look younger. I hate to say it, but these claims are not true and will only lead to you wasting money on ineffective products (and that has been scientifically proven).
You can use the cream every day, but the structure of the collagen molecule is simply too large to be absorbed by the skin. That is not an opinion; it is a medical fact.
What to wear instead?
Now that you know that collagen, when applied topically to the skin, is a waste of money, you need to know about the effective alternatives.
Instead of spending money on collagen moisturizers, you should look to 100% natural skincare products that help your skin rebuild its own collagen and elastin again, just like it did when you were younger. Basically, you need a moisturizer that helps your body repair itself from the inside out, not from the outside in.
Skin care products that contain many enzymes and antioxidants, and are rich in essential oils, will help your skin feel better and look younger. Manuka honey is a powerful moisturizer, and due to its healing qualities, it will help your skin repair itself.
Xtend TK, on the other hand, is still a largely unknown but clinically proven natural collagen stimulator that you won’t find in any low-quality skin moisturizer due to its high cost.
