A Natural Face Lift and Your 4 Bodily Substances Responsible

Most people do not realize this, but there is a way to accomplish a natural face lift. This will save you the expense and pain of going through cosmetic surgery. So, before you resort to surgery, lets take a look at why your body has lost the ability to tighten loose skin.

All four substances are produced by the body naturally, but over time our skin ages due to the sun and free radicals. Resulting in wrinkles, aging skin, sagging jowls and more. Following are the 4 substances:

· PEPTIDES: Are a class of organic compounds consisting of various numbers of amino acids linked together, these peptides combine to make proteins such as keratin.

· KERATIN: Is an extremely strong protein, which is a major component in our skin, hair and nails. The amino acids, which combine to form keratin, have several unique properties and depending on the levels of the various amino acids, keratin can be hard as in the case with the skin, hair and nails.

Keratin is formed by the body into living cells, which make up a large part of the skin. The cells slowly push their way upwards, eventually dying and forming a protective layer of cells. Thousands of these cells are shed every day.

Keeping the external layer of dead cells moisturized and in good condition they will serve as an insulating layer to protect the delicate new keratin below them.

· COLLAGEN: Is a group of naturally occurring proteins. More than 80% (dry weight) of our skin is made of collagen.

Collagen is a main structural protein found throughout our body. It provides the strength our tissues and organs require while elastin provides the ability to stretch and recoil the skin. Decreased collagen production is one of the reasons for aging skin and our search for a natural face lift.

· ELASTIN: Is a critical protein, one of the main structural proteins in our skin. Elastin provides our skin and other organs with their elasticity, the ability to tighten loose skin and recoil, thus keeping their shape.

Normal, unharmed skin is usually 80% collagen and 4% elastic fiber mesh network. When your skin has been damaged by the sun, the damaged skin can grow to be as much as 80% abnormal elastic fibers. The elasticity of that skin is similar to a hard rubber tire, versus a healthy elastin network, which is like a rubber band.

These natural occurring substances have patented names given to them by the manufacturers that produce products that have been proven to tighten loose skin.

For instances Eye gels containing peptides in the right combination, have been shown to reduce bags and dark circles in more than half of the volunteers after only six weeks.

Face and neck creams containing peptides in the right combination have been shown to tighten loose skin naturally by as much as 24% after only two weeks with a daily application twice a day.

You now know the four natural substances your skin needs to rebuild. But you must find the companies that have taken these substances and formed a product using only natural ingredients, and been clinically proven to tighten loose skin.

I too was in your position looking for a way to get a natural face lift. Through my research I found ingredients like Cynergy TK, Nanobelle Coenzyme Q10, Eyeliss (in the eye gel) and Phytesence Wakame.

So there you have it, a way to get a perfect natural face lift, and by the way all of these ingredients I just listed have been shown in separate studies to increase the skins collagen content.
