We talk about peptides a lot, so we pack our skin care ranges with peptides. But how much do you really know about peptides? Why are peptides so important to skin care anyway?
Let’s take a closer look at peptides and see why they are featured in so many of Environ’s advanced formulations.
What is a peptide?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks for proteins in your skin. Proteins are important because they are the foundation of your skin. Like, its supporting structure. The skin we are talking about are collagen, elastin and keratin. These essential proteins help your skin maintain its youthful-looking texture, strength and resilience.
Why are peptides in skin care?
Peptides are essentially smaller versions of proteins, making them more easily delivered to the skin and body than larger proteins. Peptides act like little messengers, triggering the skin to increase the benefits of more collagen and elastin. That’s why it makes sense to pack skin care formulas with specific peptides to encourage youthful- looking skin.
What are some examples of peptides in skin care?
