To firm up face skin you need to use skin care products with the correct ingredients. Many people fall for the idea that if they use a collagen cream topically that is all that must be done. Later down the road when they don't see the desired results they wonder why.
A collagen cream is one of those tricky things skin care companies try to make us think will work to firm up face skin. But the truth is just because a product contains collagen doesn't mean it will get rid of wrinkles or line lines.
You've probably heard that the reason we get wrinkles and saggy skin is because our collagen supplies dwindle as we age. So it would be natural to think that applying more collagen will get rid of these particular skin problems.
Collagen and elastin are the main protein for the connective tissues in the body. So as the amount of collagen and elastin our body produces decreases we do in fact begin to see wrinkles, fine lines and saggy skin.
But just replacing the collagen topically won't help. The collagen molecules are too big to penetrate the skin. It just sits on the top, which is basically useless for helping to firm up face skin.
You can go the route of collagen injections. That procedure is costly, and can be dangerous. There have been reports where infection has set in causing more problems than just a few wrinkles.
The best way to fight the saggy skin problems is to use a product that will stimulate the body's natural production of collagen.
Active manuka honey is one such substance. This miracle ingredient also has anti bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-virus abilities to fight more than wrinkles, so you get lots of bang for your buck when you find this in a skin care product.
This honey also contains antioxidants, so along with producing more collagen it also fights the free radicals that cause skin damage.
CynergyTK™ is another substance that will fuel the production of collagen and elastin to get rid of saggy skin. This product also works as a moisturizer that penetrates deep into the skin nourishing the cells for long lasting results instead of just giving temporary relief of dry skin.
Wakame, which is derived from sea algae, is another great component to a skin care product. It has been proven to increase the skin's elasticity to <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href=" /">firm up face skin</a> when applied topically.
