Four golden keys to a healthy and beautiful skin; moisture balance, elasticity, tone and skin radiance (brightness). In order to have these and protect them in a healthy way, I would like to introduce you to the two most important support materials responsible for the strength and elasticity of our skin, collagen and elastin.

Collagen is the water reservoir of our skin. It provides resistance, durability, smoothness and a plump appearance to our skin. Elastin, on the other hand, is a very important protein known as the 'youth protein', responsible for the elasticity and elasticity of the skin. Since the production of collagen and elastin is at the highest level during the youth years, our skin is healthy and resists wrinkles. However, with advancing age, this bivalent protein begins to decrease. Over time, sagging, lines and wrinkles begin to form on the skin. What needs to be done is to increase the collagen value and increase the elastin ratio; Let's have a fit, tight, young and healthy skin. So, how can we increase these productions? Let's take a look together.

Beauty is a whole

Integrity is necessary for beautiful skin. Integrity is possible by supporting the skin both internally and externally. Likewise, there are two ways to stimulate collagen production in our skin; externally (cosmetics etc.) and internally (natural collagen boosters). Applications only on the upper surface of the skin will not be sufficient.

Encourage skin to produce more collagen.

Blueberries: Contains phytonutrients that help connect collagen fibers to help your body produce collagen.

Dark leafy greens: Vegetables such as spinach, collard greens, and chard are rich in vitamins A and C and stimulate the skin to produce more collagen.

Sulfur-containing foods: Studies have shown that sulfur-containing vegetables increase collagen production in the skin. Cabbage, onions and fish, especially garlic, are also rich in sulfur. Garlic also contains taurine, which supports damaged collagen fibers.

In addition to these foods, eggs, mango, white tea, citrus fruits; Carrots, sweet potatoes and avocados are also among the foods that support collagen production.

Cosmetics that help protect collagen and elastin

Vitamin A, vitamin C and alpha hydroxy acids are among the actives that increase collagen and elastin in the skin. Cosmetic creams and serums containing these actives are very important externally supportive and auxiliary preparations in the protection of elastin and collagen levels.

Vitamin A: The strongest form of vitamin A derivatives, retinol, and the more sensitive form, retinyl palmitate, stimulates the synthesis of dermistechollagen. For these reasons, it is used in most antiaging cosmetic preparations as a wrinkle remover, skin lightening and mild peeling agent.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is very important for increasing the production of collagen and elastin. Vitamin C, which is essential for healthy connective tissue production, supports collagen-producing fibroblasts. Vitamin C, which stimulates collagen synthesis with its subcutaneous population, is another indispensable member of cosmetic anti-aging products.

Collagen and elastin stimulating processes in our skin

Dermaroller: They help to correct the appearance of fine wrinkles and lines by providing the body's natural collagen production. It is an ideal method especially to increase skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles and slow down the aging process and reduce the appearance of scars.

Peeling: Peeling, which is an indispensable part of anti-aging, is also a medical procedure that stimulates collagen synthesis. In addition, dead skin cells must be cleaned in order to obtain a good skin surface. They are used for removal of dead cells, general revitalization and shine.
