In all probability, you've more than likely at some stage wandered what collagen is, or rather, how important it really is. Well, for anyone wanting a beautiful healthy skin, collagen is absolutely vital. It's hardly surprising then that we see it listed as an ingredient on practically each and every beauty cream on the market. Cosmetic companies have not been alone in exploiting our desire for a younger and more youthful looking skin. Pharmaceutical companies too, were quick to jump on the bandwagon and who can blame them, considering the immense popularity of collagen pills, even though there is no evidence to suggest they work. In fact, no matter how many pills you take, collagen simply cannot be absorbed into your skin. Fortunately though, the human body can produce its own collagen naturally, but it appears many people are unaware of this

Of course it's understandable that consumers find it nearly impossible to gather accurate information regarding collagen, because after all, cosmetic companies invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in marketing strategies and advertising campaigns for this exact reason. In stark contrast to what manufacturers claim, collagen is an extremely complex protein which on its own, cannot me taken orally in order to achieve results. The truth is, in order for collagen to be digested in supplement form, it has to be combined with other chemicals. Admittedly, when combined with certain chemicals, some such supplements have been known to show limited results. However, these results are short lasting and of course, depending on one's personal level of health, these chemically enhanced pills could cause adverse effects.

In stark contrast to the controversy surrounding collagen supplements, many health officials will testify as to the benefits of skin stimulation. In essence, when we stimulate the skin, we are effectively encouraging it to produce collagen naturally. This effect becomes even more apparent when done in conjunction with a topical, nano-emulsified cream or lotion. These lotions are able to penetrate deep enough into the skin in order to stimulate the natural production of collagen, which in turn promotes elasticity and maintains vital moisture. When we take all these facts into consideration, the long term advantages of this method is undeniable and certainly, a better choice than chemically enhanced supplements.

A clear sign of lack of collagen is sagging skin. This is a common occurrence because as people age, collagen production inevitably degrades. Unless you do something about it, you can prevent your skin from giving in to the effects of gravity. Try using products that can help stimulate your skin and boost its collagen production. Products such as topical creams that contain ingredients such as phytessence wakame, Cynergy TK and Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 are great in boosting your skin?s collagen production. Phytessence Wakame is known to block hyaluronidase as it breaks down hyaluronic acid, a substance that causes the collagen fibers to lose ?glue? and elasticity.

In years gone by topical creams were not really able to penetrate the skin deep enough, in order to achieve noticeable results. However, with modern technology these creams, some of which I have mentioned above, come in the form of nano-emulsions. When in this form, the actual molecules are small enough to penetrate sufficiently in order to promote the body's natural collagen making ability.
