Despite what the major companies are telling you through the daily bombardment of advertizing about a collagen mask or collagen gel remedy, I am here to tell you they simply don't work! I can prove this too and show you what ingredients to look for.
Now we are all becoming more aware of the importance of collagen, the big name brands are taking advantage and trying to sell creams and masks containing it.
However, applying it topically to the skin is proven scientifically not to work! As we age, we produce less collagen and this is the reason we start to get lines and wrinkles and all the other stuff we would much rather not have! A collagen mask or collagen gel remedy will offer very little benefits, apart from the fact that you feel you are helping your skin, as the molecules are too big to penetrate the skin, so it is medically impossible for it to benefit you.
In addition to this they often contain harmful chemicals which actually damage your skin with prolonged use.
So what ingredients should you look for? One of the new breakthrough natural substances is Cynergy TK.
This will actually boost your body's production of collagen to levels not seen since your younger days.
Phytessence wakame from Japanese sea kelp is another extraordinary one, brimming with antioxidants, calcium and vitamins to fight the signs of aging while moisturizing deep down to increase your skins elasticity.
You will not find these ingredients in a collagen mask, so try to avoid them, please! Some other ones you may be interested in are natural oils like Jojoba, Macadamia and Grapeseed to moisturize and protect your skin from everyday pollution.
Babassu wax from the Amazon rainforests and active Manuka honey from New Zealand also have wonderful properties for your skin and all of them, as well as helping to turn back the clock and give you younger looking, smooth skin again, are great for your overall health too.
Boosting your immune system and healing the skin while preventing the return of blemishes and irritations are just some of the many health benefits to be had, unlike the side-effects you endure with the regular skin creams.
If you truly desire excellent long term results and good health, then forget about a collagen mask or a collagen gel remedy, and use these healthy natural ingredients instead.
