Cream with collagen

With age, many things change in a person. These changes are not always positive. For example, skin aging is a process that does not please anyone. Collagen cream can help restore youth and tone to the skin.

Collagen is a special type of protein that makes up a significant part of the human body. Its quality affects the properties of skin, bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons. About 70% of this substance is contained in the human dermis, and only 30% remains on the muscles, bones, tendons of the whole body.

Its peculiarity is the structure of a spiral shape. This is what allows the skin to stretch like springs. Also, the collagen substance absorbs water in grandiose volumes - 30 times more than it weighs itself. This interesting property allows the protein to be used as a humectant.

Collagen is added to cosmetics for the following purposes:

1. Strengthening the influence of oils and plant extractsincluded in the product.
2. Creating a layer that protects the hair, adding shine to hair and improving their appearance.
3. Smoothing effect upon application, creating a layer that retains water, but is permeable to oxygen, additional moisture.

Products with collagen, which can be bought in pharmacies or ordered online, can be divided into several types: fluids, creams, masks.

Fluid funds effectively moisturize the skin. They differ from other means by deeper and more effective penetration into the lower layers of the dermis. It can be used as a standalone product, or applied under a mask.

The cream includes collagen of various origins.

So, animal protein is used in the production of the cheapest cosmetics, its production does not require large expenditures of money and effort. It is this cream that will become the simplest and most affordable option.

It is found in the skin of marine fish. This is the most allergenic type. It is very sensitive to external influences such as: air, heat, sunlight, acidity. Some of the negative factors may be contained in cosmetics.In order for the product with a marine substance not to deteriorate, manufacturers have to use preservatives, as well as impose restrictions on the storage conditions of the product. Despite all these problems, marine protein is used quite often, due to its excellent compatibility with the protein composition of human tissues. Liquid cream with marine collagen will be a good care product for your skin.

As already discussed above, collagen molecules in appearance resemble spirals. With age, damage to the dermis due to free radicals, external factors, bad habits, and stress is inevitable.

Naturally, scientists spend a lot of effort on studying the topical issue - is it possible to stimulate the production of this protein by the skin.

At the moment, you can resort to various methods to get rid of its disadvantage:

• masks,
• Darsonval therapy,
• injections,
• collagenaria.

Darsonvalization is a physiotherapy method that uses the action of a pulsed current of small strength, but high frequency. This method is used to treat a huge number of diseases. When applying darsonvalization, the following effects are observed:

• blood circulation increases, tissue nutrition improves,
• cells are saturated with oxygen
• lymph outflow improves, blood stasis is prevented,
• immunity is activated
• bactericidal and anti-inflammatory action,
• improving the tone of the face and body,
• medicinal substances penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis.

Mesotherapy is a good option for those who do not want to resort to plastic surgery. It is quite expensive, but safe and effective. During mesotherapy, a mixture of collagen and hyaluronic acid is injected under the epidermis, which stimulates the production of its own protein in the body and increases the amount of building material for this. With the help of injections, scars, scars, including acne, are treated. There is a rejuvenation effect, a general tightening and improvement of the facial contour. Injections make it possible to improve the shape of the lips, add volume to them.

collagenarium essentially like a solarium. It combines the action of blue and red light waves. Blue lamps give a therapeutic effect. The red lamps of collagenaria give a light wave that penetrates deep into the epidermis, thereby stimulating collagen synthesis.

Young skin without any intervention looks elastic, smooth, fresh. The body itself produces collagen in the amount necessary to maintain tone.. The first mimic wrinkles and aging of the skin are a warning that the body lacks the collagen substance. The processes of its production are inhibited with age, cells are destroyed under the influence of many factors.

40 years is the average age at which women are recommended to start using collagen cream. Before this age, the use of such cosmetics is strictly prohibited. And if at this age your face looks young and fit, it is better to postpone the use of such products for several years, until signs of aging appear. In any case, before using these products, it is better to consult a specialist who will help you choose the necessary products, or suggest other options for skin care and maintaining its youth.

Manufacturers can add various substances to improve the characteristics of the cream. There are some features that are best considered when choosing a tool.

• If you have a choice, opt for sea squirrel. It is best absorbed by the dermis, embedded in the skin. However, such a cream will cost a little more.
• Animal protein is well suited for dry type of epidermis. The main thing is not to overdo it. The film formed during use impairs the access of oxygen and clogs the pores. Many experts believe that animal protein is not absorbed by the skin at all.
• For the oily type of the dermis, cosmetics with a hydrolyzate are most suitable. It does not contain fat and is ideal for this type of dermis.
• When choosing, pay attention to the price of the product. It is quite expensive to extract vegetable, and especially marine collagen. Therefore, it cannot be cheap.

• If you don't see in the description what specific type of protein was used in the production, most likely it is collagen derived from animals. The production of this protein is relatively inexpensive, which encourages manufacturers to use it in many products.
• As with all beauty products, try a collagen product on a small area of ​​your skin before using it. This will help avoid allergies and irritations.

Collagen-based cosmetics - an exciting topic for cosmetologists. Most often, the moisturizing effects of masks with it are just publicity stunts. Due to the rather large size of the protein molecule, it is simply not able to penetrate the pores of the skin, which means that sooner or later it will simply be washed off with water. But this type of cosmetic in any case, it will be useful due to the additional components included in the composition.

Beauticians highly do not recommend preparing such creams at home. You are unlikely to benefit from such a product, but the risk of an allergic reaction will be quite high.
