So what are peptides!!
Let’s learn a little more about why we need these in our skincare and why you always hear me raving about them …
Understanding why peptides are so beneficial in our skincare and why does require a bit of knowledge on what they are and which ones can greatly benefit your skin.
To start…
*️⃣Peptides are multifunctional active ingredients that can help reduce wrinkles,improve skin tone and elasticity, help to treat acne as well aid in lightening the skin.
*️⃣Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by bonds formed when one type of amino acid group reacts with the another.
*️⃣Everything starts when there are changes the skin,ie ageing,scarring,pigment, even oxygen can break down your skin !
When this break down occurs it causes damaged skin tissue to form into different unhelpful fragments.
*️⃣So introducing peptides to act as messengers to signal the skin will produce different types of skin tissue healing.
*️⃣Even applying some specialised peptides can trick the skin into thinking that it is injured and needs to make additional helpful types of proteins to help build new collagen and elastin fibres.
*️⃣There are many different types of peptides all have different benefits for your skin,so
knowing which ones to use is the key !!!!
