Even The Best Collagen Firming Lotions Won't Increase Your Skins Collagen Level

Author: Kathryn M. Reid

It's unbelievable, how the big cosmetic and skin cream companies brainwash us into believing that by topicality applying what they tell us are the best collagen firming lotions, it will increase these protein levels in our skin.

Most people have some idea, but don't really understand about how collagen and elastin works in our skin. So here is a brief overview.

Collagen is a triple helix matrix structure (3 fibers bind together) and found in the dermis layer of skin directly under the top epidermal layer. When you apply collagen from a tube of cream the molecules are roughly four times too big in diameter to fit through your top layer of skin. Therefore, they can't penetrate deep down to reach your dermis.

Don't let these companies fool you with their advertising; the simple fact is collagen topically applied to your skin will not increase its levels in your dermis where it really matters. The wrinkles you are trying to improve and reduce will not be affected by using these creams.

However, there are two proven ways of increasing collagen levels under your top layer of skin. The first one we all know about is collagen injections, we also understand they work very successfully, but you have to weigh up the benefits against the negatives. You get an instant wrinkle reduction, but it's only temporary, maybe 6 to 9 months then you need another round of injections. The question is -- Can you justify the cost, time and inconvenience?

The second choice you have is to use a firming lotion containing substances proven in clinical trials to stimulate collagen production within your dermis layer. There are a few natural compounds that can do this. Two of the best that I know about are Cynergy TK"(TM)" and Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 a special form of CoenzymeQ10. Each of these ingredients have molecules small enough to penetrate deeply into the skin to stimulate collagen regrowth in your dermis.

Collagen along with elastin are two fundamental proteins necessary for skins structure, strength and elasticity. Your body cannot naturally keep their levels up as you age, but you can increase the amount of these proteins by using a natural skin cream containing the above substances.

Don't let these big companies with big advertising budgets confuse and rip you off by influencing you to buy a product that won't work at reducing your wrinkles. Don't waste any more of your time and money buying what are supposed to be the best collagen firming lotions.

At my website, I discuss more about collagen and elastin anti aging skin issues, plus new natural ingredients that can benefit your facial appearance, and help give you a younger and smoother looking complexion.
