It came as a shock to me when I first realized that a majority of people do not appreciate the importance of natural collagen in skin care. Well, to me it was logical but then I thought, people see things only from a high level therefore, their knowledge is limited.
However, as a responsible expert I must share whatever knowledge I have about natural collagen. So here is an article, which explains the role it plays for the betterment of your skin.
Collagen is a protein present inside our skin. By nature, this protein is elastic and keeps the muscles and fibrils taut. Therefore, we see firm skin on the outer surface. However, as we age, our skin cells die and therefore the production of collagen decreases.
As a result, the tension between fibrils reduces, and we see wrinkles on the skin. Therefore, the solution to reduce wrinkles is to produce more natural collagen within the skin.
You might come across numerous advertisements and products, which claim to deliver collagen molecules via creams and lotions. Do not fall for such products. All such products are a sham. They are just trying to make use of half information that collagen is useful for skin.
Experts suggest that collagen molecules are too big and cannot go through the outer layer of the skin. Therefore, if you use any such cream or a lotion, then these molecules will stay only on the outer layer of the skin and will wash away the next time you take bath. Do not waste your money in such products.
Some other products claim to deliver these molecules via pills and shots. Even such products are of no use because absorption of these molecules in the skin is a very complex process and skin requires only the native molecules not any foreign material. Once again, such products are of no use because skin rejects the artificially delivered molecules.
The only solution that you can embrace is that
1 Eat healthy food Eat food, which keeps skin healthy and young. Avoid food that makes skin oiler, e.g. junk food. Eat more and more fresh green vegetables and fruits, such foods keep skin glowing and provide minerals and proteins to the skin cells. Hence, the skin cells get a booster to the process of collagen production.
2 Use natural products Natural products supply minerals, proteins, and vitamins to the skin cells and keep them healthy. They also provide the raw material to the skin cells and assist in the production of natural collagen.
So there you have it a simple strategy to produce more natural collagen and say goodbye to wrinkles of the skin forever.
