Collagen Cream

With age, much changes in a person. These changes are not always positive. For example, skin aging is a process that does not please anyone. Return the youth and skin tone can help the cream with collagen.

Collagen is a special type of protein that makes up a significant part of the human body. Its quality affects the properties of the skin, bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons. About 70% of this substance is contained in the human dermis, and only 30% remains on the muscles, bones, and tendons of the whole body.

Its feature is the structure of a spiral shape. This is what enables the skin to stretch like springs. Also, the collagen substance absorbs water in enormous volumes - 30 times more than it weighs itself. This interesting property allows you to use protein in the form of a moisturizer.

Collagen is added to cosmetics with the following objectives:

1. Strengthening the effect of oils and plant extractsincluded in the product.
2. Creating a layer that protects the hair, adding shine to hair and improving their appearance.
3. Smoothing effect when applied, the creation of a layer that holds water, but permeable to oxygen, additional moisture.

Collagen products, which can be bought at pharmacies or ordered online, can be divided into several types: vibes, creams, masks.

Fluids effectively moisturize the skin. They differ from other means by a deeper and more effective penetration into the lower layers of the dermis. It can be used as an independent tool, or applied under the mask.

Collagen of various origin is included in the cream.

So, animal protein is used in the production of the cheapest cosmetics, its production does not require large amounts of money and effort. Such a cream will be the easiest and most affordable option.

It is contained in the cover of marine fish. This is the most allergenic type. It is very sensitive to external influences, such as: air, heat, sunlight, acidity. Some of the negative factors may be contained in cosmetics. So that the agent with sea matter does not deteriorate, manufacturers have to use preservatives, as well as impose restrictions on the storage conditions of the product. Despite all these problems, marine protein is used quite often, because of the excellent compatibility with the protein composition of human tissues. Liquid cream with sea collagen will be a good caring agent for your skin.

As already discussed above, collagen molecules resemble spirals in appearance. With age, damage to the dermis due to free radicals, external factors, bad habits, stress is inevitable.

Naturally, scientists spend a lot of effort on studying the actual question - is it possible to stimulate the production of this protein by the skin.

At the moment, you can resort to various ways to get rid of its disadvantage:

• masks,
• Darsonval therapy,
• injections,
• collagenarium.

Darsonvalization is a method of physiotherapy in which the action of a pulsed current of small strength but high frequency is used. This method is used to treat a huge number of diseases. When using darsonvalization, the following effects are observed:

• blood circulation increases, tissue nutrition improves,
• cells are saturated with oxygen,
• lymph outflow improves, stagnation of blood is prevented,
• immunity is activated,
• bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect,
• improving the tone of the face and body
• medicinal substances penetrate the deep layers of the dermis.

Mesotherapy is a good option for those who do not want to resort to plastic surgery. It is quite expensive, but safe and effective. During mesotherapy, a mixture of collagen and hyaluronic acid is administered under the epidermis, which stimulates the production of its own protein in the body and increases the amount of building material for this. With the help of injections, treatment of scars, scars, including acne, is carried out. There is a rejuvenation effect, overall tightening and improving the contour of the face. Injections provide an opportunity to improve the shape of the lips, add volume to them.

Collagenarium essentially similar to a tanning bed. It combines the action of blue and red light waves. Blue lamps give a therapeutic effect. Red Collagenaria lamps produce a light wave that penetrates deep into the epidermis, thereby stimulating collagen synthesis.

Young skin without any intervention looks elastic, smooth, fresh. The body itself produces collagen in the right amount to maintain the tone. The first mimic wrinkles and aging of the skin are a warning that the body lacks a collagen substance. The processes of its production with age are inhibited, the cells are destroyed by a variety of factors.

40 years old - the average age at which women are advised to start using collagen cream. Earlier this age, the use of such cosmetics is strictly prohibited. And if, at this age, your face looks young and fit, the use of such products is better postponed for several years, until signs of aging appear. In any case, before using these products, it is better to consult with a specialist who will help you choose the necessary products, or suggest other options for skin care and maintaining her youth.
