Let's face it... I understand that there are many of you that have become curious about the possibility of restoring elastin in your skin. There are many products on the market now that guarantee that they can effectively deliver on the promise of increasing the amount of collagen and elastin in your skin, but do any of these products actually work?

The very first question that I am inevitably asked by people is can elastin be absorbed into the skin? My answer to this question is that much like collagen elastin in its natural state is of too high a density to make it readily absorbable by your skin. It must be rendered into a state whereby it can be absorbed before you body can accept it.

Can one or more of the currently available products truly be effective at restoring elastin in our skin? Even if the tissue, which is made up primarily of the amino acids glycine, alanine, and proline, were to be properly rendered for easy absorbability it is doubtful that it would have much effect on the way that your skin looks and feels.

Through what form can elastin be absorbed into the skin? In order for it to be absorbable the tissue has to be hydrolyzed. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction during which one or more water molecules are split into separate hydroxide and hydrogen ions. This breaks down the overall density of the tissue, and allows it to become absorbable.

The benefits of restoring elastin in the skin has not escaped the attention of the major cosmetics companies, however their chosen method of treating this problem are flawed. The addition of new elastin into the body will do little if anything in order to change your appearance in any sort of dramatic fashion.

You may now be thinking to yourself how can elastin be absorbed into the skin and not have any real effect on your appearance? It is because the addition of new elastin will come in such low doses that your body will not be able to maintain enough of the tissue at any one time to allow for it to have any real impact on your appearance.

The only way that you will ever be able to be successful in restoring elastin and collagen in your skin would be if you were to use a product that didn't just inject the two tissues into your body, but that naturally increased your body's production rate of these two tissues to the same healthy level that you enjoyed years ago.

So now that we know the answer to can elastin be absorbed into the skin, and we know that this is not the correct step to take when making an attempt at restoring elastin what can we do? We can turn to a blend of natural proteins called Functional Keratin in order to ensure that the production rate of both collagen and elastin are at peak efficiency. Then we will see the dramatic results that we have been seeking.
