WHAT ARE PEPTIDES

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin. These proteins are the foundations of your skin and are responsible for its texture, strength and resilience. Without peptides, skin is less intact, which can lead to a loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles, a change in texture and less ‘bounce’. With aging our hormones and peptides decline!

There are many ways to use peptides, some applied topically act as little messengers, triggering skin cells to perform specific functions such as building collagen and elastin, encouraging skin to look and act younger. Extensive scientific research has proven that peptides can support your skin on multiple levels, including firming, soothing and hydrating.

There is much to be learned from peptides but they are the building blocks of our bodies, regulating our hormones and immune systems. Some act as enzymes, others structural components such as our cells and tissues!
