What are the best ingredients to firm skin? Which ones don’t work? You’ll learn about both in this article. Collagen is an ingredient that is heavily promoted, but doesn’t work. Hyaluronic acid is another. Those two compounds are useful for inflating the skin’s fatty tissue layer, which stretches out wrinkles. But when applied topically, they do nothing. Keratin is an ingredient that does work, as long as it is in the bioactive form. The processes usually used to soften keratin render it inactive. Only one company has developed a process allowing keratin to be extracted and softened without destroying its functional nature. In its functional form, keratin can be absorbed into the skin’s cells. It softens, soothes and improves firmness by over 40% after only 18 days of use. That’s impressive. Another of the best ingredients to firm skin is a peptide mixture. Keratin is a simple structural protein. Peptides are something like protein fragments. They are shorter chains of amino acids. The peptide mixture that is most effective is a patented formula called RIGIN. The processes used to make Functional Keratin are also patented. Since they are naturally occurring compounds, the quantities available are limited. So they aren’t that easy to find. Companies that have access to both compounds recommend using Functional Keratin on a twice daily basis. They recommend the use of RIGIN on a biweekly basis. In the form of a deep hydrating mask, RIGIN is particularly beneficial for the neck. It can provide as much as a 40% improvement in the neck’s firmness and nearly 20% on the face. Although hyaluronic acid is not one of the best ingredients to firm skin, it is an important compound. It helps to support the skin’s firmness and elasticity. It is also necessary for the production of new cells. The body makes plenty of its own hyaluronic acid. It is quickly broken down by a family of enzymes called hyaluronidases. When we are young, it is quickly replaces. As we age, it is broken down too quickly. So the skin’s hyaluronic acid content starts to decrease and the result is an increase in sagging. Extracts from a kind of seaweed called wakame kelp inhibits the activity of hyaluronidases by over 50%. That makes wakame one of the best ingredients to firm skin. Ideally, your day cream will contain both wakame kelp extracts and Functional Keratin. Your night cream should contain Functional Keratin, wakame kelp and avocado oil. Avocado oil has been shown to increase the skin’s collagen content. It is unclear why the oil provides that benefit. It is likely due to all of the nutrients it contains. It is one of the most nourishing oils that we know of. The best night creams also contain premium quality Shea butter. It promotes healing and supports the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. It is one of the best ingredients to firm skin. It will also reduce wrinkles in as little as 4-6 weeks. Get my free five-part mini course on the benefits of Pure Natural Anti Aging Skin Care.
