How to Build Collagen Naturally – Top Tips For Restoring Your Complexion

Ever wondered how to build collagen naturally? This means encouraging your own skin to replenish this essential protein. You can restore your complexion and reduce wrinkles and sagging naturally – no surgery required!The surprising news is that creams that actually contain collagen won't build collagen naturally.Why? Because the molecules in the protein are too large to penetrate the skin so it's impossible for them to do any good.Instead, we need to encourage our skin to regrow its own collagen protein.Some skin care products use an ingredient called CynergyTK™. This is a special form of keratin, a protein found throughout the body that maintains the structure of cells. Usually, keratin applied externally has little effect but the process used to create CynergyTK turns keratin into a form that can be absorbed by the skin.Some companies use keratin derived from hooves, feathers and animal skins but the best skincare uses keratin taken from sheep's wool.CynergyTK can actually stimulate the collagen and elastin (the other important protein that keeps the skin taut) to regrow. As this happens, the face becomes smoother and less lined. Not only that – new skin cells start to grow and the complexion blooms with good health. CynergyTK works exceptionally well when combined with zinc and copper in a lotion. These two minerals also help to regenerate cells and build collagen naturally.
Another useful ingredient is phytessence wakame. This extract from a Japanese sea kelp stops the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. This acid helps to keep protein fibers together but age and stress all contribute to its decline. Phytessence wakame, however, keeps up the supply of this acid and results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.By Tasha Sanders
