We know that collagen protein is vital for having nice skin, but did you know that elastin is also a vital protein…yes, collagen and elastin are the two proteins responsible for nice skin.

In the younger days, your skin was smooth, soft, moist and pliant due to the fact that your body produced a large quantity of collagen and elastin. So it makes sense then that restoring elastin along with collagen is the secret to helping your skin regain some of its youthful appearance.

But don’t go running to the store and purchasing lotions and serums that say contain elastin and collagen because they simply <b>do not</b> work. Here’s why.

]]>

The elastin and collagen proteins said to be added to creams and lotions are ineffective. Collagen and elastin proteins are much too large to absorb into the skin (you can research it on any reliable scientific website) to have any effect when the lotion is applied topically. Don’t waste your money on skin care products that promise you that the added collagen and elastin will help — you’re just being led astray.

You’re probably wondering then how to go about restoring elastin in your skin. To restore both collagen and elastin proteins, you can achieve this by using creams and lotions that have ingredients proven to help your body stimulate more production of the two proteins on its own.

This is very different than rubbing the lotions containing collagen and elastin on your skin. I’ll go over a natural ingredient that helps your body increase its own collagen and elastin proteins naturally.

The substance is called Cynergy TK. Rich >> Read More

It would be better to first consider the reasons behind why our skin shows the signs of aging and then look for what the best anti aging creams are on the market.

Our skin ages because of three main reasons. They are:

* Levels of hyaluronic acid decrease* Loss of collagen and elastin* Oxidation through free radical action

If we can find reasons to slow the above down we can have younger looking skin well into our senior years.

Finding the anti aging cream is a must for total skin care as well as helping us to feel younger and better about ourselves. Keeping our youthful appearance will help us each morning, as we look in the mirror to feel young and vibrant, ready to conquer the day.

If instead when you look in the mirror you see saggy skin filled with dry spots and appearing dull, the spark just won’t be in your eyes, and you’ll just feel like going back to bed and pulling the cover over your face. You certainly won’t feel as if your day has as much future in it as it would if you saw beautiful skin when you glance in the mirror.

I know we all look much better with our makeup on covering our flaws, but we can have healthy skin as a base for that makeup, and actually keep those wrinkles at bay, if we use the correct ingredients.

Substances that stimulate our skin to produce more collagen and elastin is one thing we should find in the best anti aging creams. CynergyTK is one such formula that can do this. It has a unique patented form of keratin that comes from sheep’s wool.

Not just any sheep, but ones from selected farmers in New Zealand that insure >> Read More
