If you are someone who uses anti aging creams regularly, let me ask you an important question - can collagen be absorbed into the skin? If your answer is 'yes' or 'no idea', you must read this article fully. There is a lot you need to know about your skin.
Collagen and elastin are protein like substances found in your skin. Your skin needs these substances to stay young and healthy. As you get older, the amount of these natural proteins decreases gradually and your skin becomes wrinkled and saggy. To avoid this, a lot of people use collagen creams and lotions. Unfortunately, none of these people knows the answer to the question 'can collagen be absorbed into the skin'. In fact, if they had known the answer, they would not have used these products in the first place. Let me tell you why.
Your skin produces collagen and elastin on its own. It cannot absorb them from any other source like creams or lotions. These natural proteins are complex in structure and too big in size to be absorbed by your skin. So, you can increase the amount of these natural proteins only by stimulating your skin cells, not by rubbing some kind of cream on your skin. In other words, the answer to the question 'can collagen be absorbed into the skin' is a big, resounding 'no'.
Like I already said, a lot of people do not know this fact. This is why they waste their money on collagen creams and lotions which are completely useless to say the least. They use such creams, get collagen shots, take collagen pills, and do all sorts of things which are neither effective nor safe. After a few years, they end up wrecking their skin completely. You do not want to become one of those people, do you? So, read the next paragraph carefully.
The best way, perhaps the only way, to increase the amount of natural proteins in your skin is by using a good skin care cream which contains powerful anti aging substances which can stimulate your skin cells to produce more natural proteins. Some of the names that immediately come to my mind are cynergy TK, wakame, manuka honey, and coenzyme Q10.
Now that you know the answer to the question 'can collagen be absorbed into the skin', stop wasting your money on artificial collagen creams and lotions. Instead, go for organic anti aging products and get the best results.
