Increasing collagen and elastin re-growth levels will help reduce your gradual skin degradation and improve facial skin texture; in some cases wrinkles will greatly reduce in depth.So how do you increase collagen levels? Finding collagen skin care products that stimulate protein re-growth. Resorting to collagen injections or even plastic surgery. Which would you rather do? Personally, I avoid pain and spending money needlessly if at all possible. Therefore, my preference is to take the easy option and apply a topical skin care cream.

Do these creams work? Some do, most don’t! The ones that don’t are those likely to be most commonly advertised claiming to contain collagen and elastin, saying all you have to do is rub it on your skin. It’s a scientific fact that you can’t get a collagen molecule to penetrate your outer layer of skin because it’s too big to fit through. So these skin cream manufacturers are misleading the public when they tell you these products work.

Collagen skin care treatments that do work, will contain an ingredient called functional keratin, this product has been developed by a New Zealand manufacturer, who created a method so keratin when topically applied can penetrate deeply into your skin to stimulate your own collagen and elastin to grow again.
