Can Elastin Be Absorbed Into The Skin? – No!
Are you one of the thousands of people who have been duped into believing that elastin can be absorbed into the skin?
The big cosmetic companies would have you believe the skin care products they sell containing elastin and particularly collagen ingredients can actually penetrate through your skin to build up your levels of these proteins to help reduce your wrinkles.
The truth is neither of these protein substances can do this because their molecular weights are too large. In fact most proteins have a large molecular size.
An elastin molecule has a molecular weight of approx 65 kDa (650,000) whilst a collagen molecules is
approx 30 kDa (300,000) To be able to penetrate your outer skin layer (epidermis) a molecule must have a molecular weight of less than 3,000 and to enter a cell less than 800.
Nearly every cosmetic and skin care ingredient up until recently that was applied topically could not penetrate through your skin.
However, that said some new and innovative products have come onto the market recently that use nano technology. This now changes the ball game and enables certain substances to penetrate through your outer skin layer and reach deep down to your dermis structural skin layer.
The answer to the question can elastin be absorbed into the skin is still a “No”, but there are now a few nano ingredients available that have been proven to stimulate the growth of elastin and collagen in your dermis.
Whether elastin and collagen can enter through your skin is no longer an issue, because your body can help make more of its own naturally with a little stimulation from these substances.
This of course can benefit you — because producing more elastin and collagen in your dermis, will help to remove your fine lines and reduce wrinkles by strengthening, thickening and more elasticizing your facial tissues.
Use the Internet to do some research of your own if you have the time. If not — you may like to visit my website below, to learn more about how to naturally build elastin and collagen protein cells that can make your skin look younger and healthier.
