What are Peptides? - Skin Care

by Christopher Carter

The use of peptides in skin care products today is due to its ability to firm, brighten and smooth wrinkles from the skin. Peptides help to stimulate collagen to plump and firm the skin, allowing us to slow down signs of aging. The aging process brings about changes in our bodies that many of us would like to avoid. Some of those changes includes the appearance of fines lines and wrinkles to our skin. These lines and wrinkles are a direct result of our bodies producing less collagen which is responsible for keeping our skin looking firm and smooth.

Peptides are protein fragments used by cells to communicate. It gives orders to produce dermal matrix materials like collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Proteins make up the human body and peptides are shorter members of the huge protein family.

So what does this mean for you? It means that things work better than anything that�s ever been put inside a bottle. The use of peptides early ensures that you stand a better chance of experiencing its full benefits. However, a late start will still bring about dramatic results.
