The cream will help only if it is acid.

Youth is impossible without collagen: it fastens tissues, thanks to which the skin becomes elastic. With age, its production slows down. How to fill the deficit, knows Oksana Turpelitets, dermatologist-cosmetologist, chief doctor of the clinic "TOP-laser".

Does it smooth wrinkles if you drink it?.

The more collagen in the body, the more elastic our skin and less wrinkles. After all, it is a “glue” for protein structures in muscles, cartilage, hair, nails and even in the cornea of ??the eyes and, of course, in the skin.. The body uses amino acids to create this substance.. They, when exposed to gastrointestinal enzymes, are obtained from protein foods.. Please note that you should not lean on only one type of protein.. On the one hand, only in animal products there are essential amino acids and fat-soluble vitamins, without which collagen synthesis is impossible (such as beef, turkey, pork, lamb, eggs, chicken, broth, aspic, made from animal bones and ribs, less collagen in seafood, fish, sour milk). On the other hand, although plants cannot boast of the full value of protein, they contain minerals and vitamins, without which the creation of collagen is also impossible. Food champions are spinach, asparagus, broccoli, celery, carrots, bananas, peach, watermelon, dried fruits, legumes, and nuts..

An additional source of collagen may be its drinking counterpart.. It contains substances without which the formation of collagen is impossible: vitamins C and E, zinc, magnesium and a number of other components. The protein in the composition of drinking collagen is already in the form of amino acids, which reduces the work of the gastrointestinal tract, plus the body is deprived of the load in the form of protein breakdown products. In addition, to eat the rate of collagen per day - 2-3 g - it does not always work, because it is not always possible to eat enough protein, and in the bottle there is collagen in the right amount.

Is it effective in face and body creams?.

If you expect from their application the disappearance of wrinkles and flabbiness and the prevention of their appearance, then no: the collagen molecule cannot penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, where the connective tissue is located. Therefore, the cream can neither straighten the creases in the skin, nor prevent them. This cream can retain moisture in the skin, and moisturized, it looks healthier.. In addition, fruit acids are usually included in the cream.. They moisturize and have a peeling effect, which is why the skin visually refreshes..

Does the injection of a modulator rejuvenate?.

Beauty after the introduction of collagen products into the skin is traumatic and the main thing is temporary: as soon as the injection resolves, the skin will look the same.

Plus, collagen injections is a protein alien to the skin, and the immune system can start a fight with it, which is fraught with an allergic reaction - from dermatitis to anaphylactic shock.

It is possible to increase the skin elasticity with the help of thermal or cold hardware procedures.. Deep warming or extreme cooling activates natural processes: collagen is formed more actively, new cells are born faster, which more productively “eat” nutrients delivered by the bloodstream, “drink” water and retain it.
