What are peptides?
Gone are the days when people were unaware of the content of the products they used on their skin. Today, times have changed and available research on skin care ingredients plays an important role in its consumption. Nobody wants to try something whose origin is unknown. The idea of natural, clean beauty has taken the world by storm.
Peptides are a hot topic in the skincare industry and for good reason. They are the building blocks of protein and play a crucial role in keeping our skin smooth and healthy. However, as we age, the natural process of peptide formation decreases, leading to various skin problems. To combat these issues, many skincare brands incorporate peptides into their products. In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of using peptides in skincare, the different types of peptides available, and the best peptide-infused skincare products to try.
Benefits of Using Peptides
Peptides are the chains of amino acids that make up proteins in our bodies. They play a vital role in supporting our muscles, bones, skin, hair, etc. Peptides play a key role in keeping your skin looking smooth and healthy. The natural process that blocks peptides becomes less effective as you age. When it comes to skincare, peptides have many benefits:
- It strengthens your skin barrier
- It eliminates wrinkles and makes elastin fibers in your skin
- It can cure inflammation, acne and other skin problems
- It protects the skin from atmospheric pollutants and harsh UV rays
- It increases collagen production and gives your skin a healthy appearance
Different types of peptides
Our body creates several types of peptides. When all these peptides work well, our skin looks better. To solve your skin problem, you need to know exactly which peptide you need to add to your skin care regimen.
A. Collagen-Boosting Peptides
Collagen boosting peptides are a must to get rid of any type of skin problem. When the natural collagen process slows down, skin begins to look dry and dull. After that, he faces one problem after another like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, etc. Collagen boosting peptides would work as a trigger and not let natural cell turnover slow down.
B. Anti-Aging Peptides
As we age, the rate at which new skin cells form and dead cells exfoliate decreases dramatically. Plus, the natural proteins that keep your skin tight break down over time. One of the main jobs of anti-aging peptides is to hold the protein block together, resulting in firmer looking skin.
C. Brightening Peptides
Brightening peptides nourish the skin. It renews dehydrated and dull skin by exfoliating old cells. A major reason behind dull skin is the increased amount of dead cells. These peptides penetrate deep into the skin and speed up the process of exfoliating dead cells.
D. Anti-acne peptides
When bacteria, oil, sebum and dirt settle in the pores, the skin experiences acne breakouts. Anti-acne peptides cleanse the skin and shrink pores. Open large pores get dust easily. This is why the condition of the skin is immensely better when the pores are closed.
