#4 Vitamin A and Collagen
Vitamin A influences up to a
thousand of the body's genes and it is essential for the normal function of ALL
skin cells. It induces the genes for collagen production - healthy lattice-type
collagen I and ll. Vitamin A also increases NMF (natural moisturising factors)
in the skin, and improves the quality of elastin. According to research, vitamin
A is effective in preventing and treating the collagen loss caused by photo
damage. It found that treating the skin with vitamin A prevents the loss of
type 1 and type 2 collagen caused by UV exposure. Furthermore, the role of
peptides, cannot be ignored. Peptides are made up of amino acids, which can
help form collagen, elastin and GAGS (moisturising factors). Introducing
moisturisers that contain a combination of Matrixyl 3000, Trylaqen and Matrixyl
Synthe 6 peptide complexes, can help to smooth out lines and wrinkles and
restore collagen levels, making the skin appear plumper and smoother.
