What Are Peptides and Should You Be Using Them?
Have you heard about this underrated ingredient with age-defying benefits?
What are Peptides?
Our bodies naturally product peptides which are chains of amino acids that are involved in lots of different processes such as the healthy formation of vital skin firming proteins (like collagen). There are many different types of peptides, each with different functions.
How do Peptides work?
A simple way to think of peptides is as communicators - they're really great at telling your skin cells what to do and how to do it better! They do this by sending instructions via signals to the receptors on your skin cells.
Peptides in Skincare
In skincare, peptides are best known for their age defying benefits as they target reactions within the skin that cause ageing. Once applied topically, the peptide can "converse" with the cells and get the skin to do what the peptide is asking.
Different peptides can accelerate Collagen production, relax expression lines, smooth and plump the complexion, and protect and repair existing Collagen stores.
The Key to Seeing Results
Peptides need time to 'talk' to your skin cells and ensure they're following instructions, so using Peptide products regularly and consistently is the key to seeing incredible results!
