Face the Facts | Superstar Peptides in Skincare

What are peptides? Peptides are strings of amino acids found in almost every human cell that make up protein in the body, as well as provide biological messaging to help the body function. They are essential to skin structure and function, as they are key building blocks for collagen, elastin fibers and optimal skin health. Peptides in skincare help rebuild and repair damaged cells, slowing process of aging. This superstar ingredient can help decrease fine lines and wrinkles, reduce inflammation and make skin appear firmer... Hello, healthy skin!! 

What are the benefits of using skincare with peptides? 

• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Peptides can stimulate skin to increase collagen production, while providing anti-aging benefits that reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
• Decrease inflammation in the skin. Peptides have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritation and redness.
• Increase skin firmness. While peptides can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, they also help skin feel firmer.

What skincare product delivers peptides best?

When it comes to applying peptides to your skin, opt for a product that soaks into the skin and allows the peptides to penetrate skin, like a moisturizer or serum. Peptides work well with other skincare ingredients like vitamin C or hyaluronic acid, so they're easily incorporated into your existing skincare routine. Since the body makes peptides naturally, they are tolerated well by most skin types.
