Aging Of Skin And Collagen And Elastin -- Find Out How They Are Related

Aging of skin and collagen and elastin are closely related, mathematically they are inverse in nature i.e. the more your age is the lesser the amount of collagen and elastin is present in the skin.

To understand completely that how aging of skin and collagen and elastin are related we must understand the function that collagen/elastin serve.

Both collagen molecules and elastin molecules are a type of protein, for better readability let us call them proteins.

Our inner skin is made up of fine tendons and muscles; there are very fine fibers that hold these muscles together. The strength of these fibers determines the elasticity of our skin. If these fibers lose their strength then our skin sags and develops wrinkles.

Collagen and elastin provide strength to these fibers. Our skin cells produce these proteins on a regular basis. However, with age, our skin cells deteriorate and produce fewer amounts of proteins thus reducing the strength of fibers that eventually leads to wrinkles.

The reason for lesser protein production could be anything ranging from lack of moisture in the body to unhealthy diet to over exposure to the sun.

As long as our body is young, it is able to cope with these reasons but when we age, it becomes difficult to fight with these factors. This is the reason we need skin care products, which are natural and consist of active ingredients that are able to fight these factors.

Be aware that there are many companies out there in the market, which try to sell low quality product. Read the ingredients list and find out if there are any harmful ingredients present in them. If yes, then avoid them. Some companies may also promise to deliver these proteins via cream or a lotion, shun them completely because there is no method via which anybody can deliver extra protein from outside. These proteins can only be produced inside the body.

A high quality skin care product has following features:
1. It provides the required moisture to the skin.
2. It protects the skin from cold and harsh weather.
3. It also gives protection from harmful UV rays of the sun.
4. Finally, it provides minerals and nutrients to the skin cells and assists in protein generation.

Now that you know how aging of skin and collagen and elastin are related, do a favor to your skin and select a skin care product that qualifies all four criteria.

Your skin deserves nothing but the best to fight the aging of the skin and collagen and elastin lotions, which consist of innovative ingredients like CynergyTK, Wakame, and Active Manuka Honey, are the best bet.
