You deserve skin that glows with health, is hydrated, appears youthful at every life stage, and makes you feel confident.
Here at Aesthetics Rx®, skin is our passion. We love caring for the skin, talking about the skin, seeking out evidence-based skincare ingredients and helping you get to know your skin better.
But with so many skincare ingredients emerging daily, we know how overwhelming it can be to decipher so much information without losing hope that your skincare will deliver on its promise.
Peptides for the skin are one group of revolutionary skincare ingredients that often appear perplexing but deserve a spotlight from above.
In this article, we'll explore the growing popularity of peptides as a key skincare ingredient, the science behind them, why we love them, and why we think you should, too.
Understanding Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids or mini proteins that play a vital role in the proper function of every cell in your body, including your skin cells.
Think of them as building blocks that make up proteins within the body, signalling cellular activities to maintain overall health and well-being by contributing to various bodily functions.
In our skin, peptides significantly support and regulate specific proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin, which keep our skin firm, flexible, resilient, and hydrated, leading to radiant skin with a youthful appearance.
By incorporating peptides into your skincare regimen, you can experience remarkable and positive effects on your skin, including enhanced collagen production, diminished wrinkles, improved skin elasticity, control of uneven skin tone caused by hyperpigmentation, protection against harmful free radicals, and optimal hydration.
