Facial Skin Care

First things first. No cream or lotion can replace the basic facial skin care precautions that you need to take for having a healthy and beautiful skin. These products are meant to supplement your skin care, they will not be as effective if you just rely on them and do noting on you own to keep your skin nourished.

To begin with, you need to protect your skin from the elements. Too much sun or wind is bad for the skin and can cause many skin problems like wrinkles, age spots, and dryness.

Make sure to apply a good sun screen (with a minimum SPF of 15) when going out in the sun. Wearing a pair of sun glasses and a wide brimmed hat will shield your face from direct sun light.

The synthesis of collagen and elastin breaks down as a normal part of aging. Additionally, sun exposure, smoking and poor nutrition contribute to the problem. The solution? Well, some facial skin care companies sell collagen creams, claiming they get rid of fine lines and wrinkles and prevent more from developing. The sad truth is applying a collagen cream to your skin won’t do more than moisturize it for a short period of time. Collagen molecules cannot penetrate the skin when they are applied to the surface. They are simply too large.

Fortunately, all is not lost. There are products that have been clinically proven to stimulate collagen regrowth. For example, CynergyTK has been shown to not only stimulate the growth of collagen, but also the regrowth of elastin. Such products are much more effective than collagen creams.
