Article Word Count: 419 [View Summary] Comments (0) Keratin is a part and parcel of young looking skin. An unhealthy production of Keratin leads to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. What exactly is it? How can our skin benefit from it? What is Keratin? This is actually a type of complex protein. This is found not only in skin but also in hair and nails. Animals also have an abundant supply of this protein. It is found in hooves, horns and even wool. The formation of this complex protein is attributed to amino acids. The formation of amino acids will determine the structure of Keratin. There is a unique amino acid structure to hooves and horns that make them strong and unbreakable. Those found in our skin are softer. An abundant production of this complex protein will help prolong youthful skin structure. Sources of Keratin Gelatin is one of the richest sources of this protein. This is why people with brittle hair and nails are advised to eat more gelatin to supplement missing proteins. This is also found in yogurts and canned ham. The thickening agents of gravies and soups are also packed with this complex protein. Animal horns, hooves and wool also contain this essential protein. By infusing more of this protein on your skin, your integumentary system will promote better regeneration of collagen and elastin. This will keep your skin strong, resilient and elastic. Collagen cannot grow properly without the functional kind of keratin. Sheep wool is considered an ideal source of functional keratin because of its CynergyTK component. It can regenerate more collagen in the body. When you are looking for an anti aging skin care treatment, make sure you choose a product that has been loaded with CynergyTK. This ingredient can improve collagen production in a cinch. Additionally, you would want to look for an ingredient called Phytessence Wakame. This is a type of Japanese sea kelp that can get rid of the harmful enzymes that are naturally occurring in our body. These enzymes tend to break down hyaluronic acid. This is the acid that supplies moisture to collagen proteins. The life of collagen can be prolonged with proper moisturization process from hyaluronic acid. Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 has to be used as well. This ingredient is an antioxidant that can fight harmful free radicals. Free radicals tend to attack healthy cells in the system. This antioxidant is made up of smaller cellular structure. It can easily penetrate the deeper layers of the skin to get rid of more harmful free radicals. And now I would like to invite you to visit http://www.goodhealthyskin.com to find out which are the anti aging products you should use in order to achieve clearer and radiant looking skin.
