Restoring The Levels Of Skin Proteins Is The Most Important Part Of Great Skin Care.

By Peter Geraldson

As your skin ages it begins to lose some essential components, all of which helped your skin stay supple and firm when you were young. But as you age your skin starts to lose skin elasticity, and it was elasticity that helped keep your skin supple and firm. The result is that, with age, your skin starts to sag and starts to form wrinkles. Elastin, collagen and keratin are 3 important skin proteins, all of which contribute to skin elasticity.

Keratin is a very strong fibre that is found in our skin, as well in that of some animals, and is also found in a range of other parts of our body, such as hair and nails. Keratin in the outermost layer of the epidermis and is what makes our skin tough and also contributes to its waterproof qualities. It's almost like a natural plastic. Keratin actually refers to a family of proteins rather than only one.

The outermost layer of the skin is primarily composed of dead cells containing keratin which also help protect it. And if we can increase the amount of keratin in our skin this helps it produce new cells. As we age our skin slowly decreases its ability to produce new cells.

So you will find keratin in many anti aging products. But this keratin found in regular anti aging products is extracted from feathers, horns and hooves of birds and animals by a process which combines heat with acid. This changes the form of the keratin, making it of little use to the skin. But a new product called Cynergy TK has changed that.

Strictly speaking Cynergy TK isn't a product. It is actually an ingredient which is used in the worlds best anti aging skin care products. It is manufactured using components from the wool of sheep, by a company in New Zealand. Studies undertaken on the effects of using skin care products containing Cynergy TK have shown very impressive results. It is patented.

The keratin is taken from the wool of sheep but it is not extracted using either heat or acid. This produces keratin which is virtually identical to that found in our skin and this is very effective at helping the skin repair itself. It also helps the skin to produce new cells and these 2 factors increases skin elasticity and moisture retention.

And the keratin found in Cynergy TK also prompts the skin to produce more elastin and collagen, 2 other skin proteins essential for maintaining skin elasticity. This also helps reverse the loss of collagen and elastin as you age.

Studies have shown an improvement in moisture levels of-- percent after' days use of anti aging products containing Cynergy TK as well as an improvement in skin elasticity of 42 percent over the same time. Of course all of this improves skin health and elasticity which leads to less wrinkles and healthy skin.

Age slowly degrades the ability of the skin to stay healthy, and the result is skin sagging and wrinkles. Using anti aging products containing ingredients like Cynergy TK helps restore better skin health and this in turn is the best way to combat skin ageing.
