Why Collagen Matters
Collagen is a natural protein that keeps the structure of your skin firm and plump. Elastin is a springy protein that helps your skin bounce back into shape, instead of caving in to pressure like a block of playdough. Together, they give your skin cells the support needed to keep your face looking fresh and youthful.
Nothing Lasts Forever
When you’re young, your body is constantly replacing its supply of collagen and elastin with healthy new fibers. Then, in your 20’s, that internal youth factory begins to slow down and continues to decline year after year. By age 50, your collagen has taken an absolute nosedive.
The diminishing supply of healthy new skin cells is the reason your “baby-face” loses volume over time and is eventually replaced with thinner, sagging and wrinkled skin.
Aging is inevitable and it’s healthier to accept that your face will change over time, but that doesn’t mean you have to let wrinkles take over on your 25th birthday!
Can You Grow New Collagen & Elastin?
Yes! But it requires “Active Ingredients” that interact with your tissues on a cellular level. Studies have shown that certain elements can strengthen the existing structure of your skin, and more importantly: motivate lazy collagen and elastin receptors to get back to work!
Ingredients That Make a Difference:
Red Marine Algae
Life under the sea can be harsh, but many organisms have adapted to thrive in those unforgiving conditions. Bio-fermentation technology found in Red Marine Algae increases protection against oxidative stress from environmental factors like UV rays, pollution, and chemicals. Add this ingredient to your skincare routine to help restore collagen and elastin fibers and increase new cell turnover.
Peptides
Now we’re talking! Peptides are chains of amino acids that have your cells on speed dial and can actually communicate instructions to trigger the production of new collagen. Because of their tiny molecular makeup, Peptides quickly penetrate the surface of the skin and help with firming more effectively and efficiently than nearly any other ingredient.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is crucial antioxidant that provides assistance to the enzymes that stabilize collagen fibers. Vitamin C also protects the collagen matrix from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress. This helps to maintain healthy skin and supports the healing of wounds and injuries.
Retinol
This Vitamin A derivative is a superstar ingredient used to treat acne, dark spots & wrinkles. It increases cell turnover to generate healthy new skin cells. Retinoids are available in varying intensities. Our products use an encapsulated delivery system that will not dehydrate the skin. Because new cells are more sensitive to sun exposure, we recommend using Retinol at night and always applying SPF during the day.
