Peptides are an anti-ageing must have to smooth, repair and hydrate the skin.

Peptides are formed by a small chain of amino acids, an essential ingredient in producing proteins such as Collagen, Elastin and Keratin. These proteins are responsible for the skin's texture, strength and elasticity. Collagen is the "brick and mortar" of our skin and as we age, we produce less of this protein that is responsible for the support and elasticity of our skin. Lifestyle habits such as smoking, sun damage and diet can also contributes to the loss of collagen. Peptides act like a biological messenger and plays an important role in how our bodies function overall. When collagen breaks down, it signals the body to form peptides to then produce more collagen. By applying skincare products that contain peptides we trick the skin into producing more collagen.

The beautiful thing about peptides in skin care products is that it works harmoniously with our bodies own processes in that it will trigger your body to produce collagen. The best way to infuse peptides into the skin are with serums and moisturizers that contain peptides.
