To effectively firm, skin firming formulas must include ingredients that create new growth of the skin’s firming tissues. There are relatively few formulas that actually have the necessary ingredients to achieve a dramatic increase in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, despite every company claiming to have a formula capable of accomplishing this feat.
Most of the anti-aging skin care formulas on the market promise to replenish lost firming tissue in your skin simply by replacing it with firming tissue derived from animal sources. These formulas won’t have a positive effect on your skin for a couple of reasons, and the cosmetic companies that sell these products know it. That’s why they typically include a number of astringents in their wrinkle-reducing formulas.
For one, animal-derived collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid do not exactly match our own tissue, as there are slight molecular differences between these tissues. This means that newly introduced tissue has a good chance of being quickly rejected and broken down. Of course, you really don’t have to worry about this happening due to the main reason that these anti-aging formulas won’t work for you.
What most people don’t understand about formulas with collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid is that none of these compounds can be absorbed by the skin. The molecular weight of these three substances is incredible, and science has not been able to find a way to make them more readily available to the skin. Formulas containing these compounds cannot help you look younger.
Even if these ingredients could effectively remove your lines and wrinkles, most formulas that contain them would not be recommended. Most of the anti aging skin care formulas on the market are made up of some pretty nasty chemicals. Many of the most commonly used chemical agents have been shown to cause the development of cancer, while others are toxic to humans.
What you need to maintain your health and treat your skin effectively are formulas that contain only natural compounds. These products should be made up primarily of plant-derived compounds, which are packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants that are necessary for your skin to become healthy.
The antioxidants will reverse the damage done by free radicals to your skin, which has caused many of your lines and wrinkles to develop.
In order to effectively replenish your collagen and elastin stores, the formula you are using must contain a specific blend of proteins and enzymes, along with a certain kelp extract. These ingredients go by the names Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame. This pair will promote a significant increase in the amount of collagen and elastin you are producing, and will defend your hyaluronic acid from marauding enzymes looking to break down this polymer.
In order to firm the skin, the formulas must include these two ingredients, because they are the only substances available that can really make your skin look younger.
