What Do Skin Proteins And Cynergy TK Have To Do With Skin Care?

By Peter Geraldson

As your skin ages it begins to lose some essential components, all of which helped your skin stay supple and firm when you were young. But as you age your skin starts to lose skin elasticity, and it was elasticity that helped keep your skin supple and firm. The result is that, with age, your skin starts to sag and starts to form wrinkles. Elastin, collagen and keratin are 3 important skin proteins, all of which contribute to skin elasticity.

Keratin is a very strong fibre that is found in our skin, as well in that of some animals, and is also found in a range of other parts of our body, such as hair and nails. Keratin in the outermost layer of the epidermis and is what makes our skin tough and also contributes to its waterproof qualities. It's almost like a natural plastic. Keratin actually refers to a family of proteins rather than only one.

The outermost layer of the skin is primarily composed of dead cells containing keratin which also help protect it. And if we can increase the amount of keratin in our skin this helps it produce new cells. As we age our skin slowly decreases its ability to produce new cells.

So you will find keratin in many anti aging products. But this keratin found in regular anti aging products is extracted from feathers, horns and hooves of birds and animals by a process which combines heat with acid. This changes the form of the keratin, making it of little use to the skin. But a new product called Cynergy TK has changed that.

Cynergy TK isn't really a product. Strictly speaking it is an ingredient found in skin care products, but only in the best skin care products. It is made in New Zealand by a small company which has patented it. Studies on the effects of using skin care products with Cynergy TK have shown very impressive results.

The keratin is taken from the wool of sheep but it is not extracted using either heat or acid. This produces keratin which is virtually identical to that found in our skin and this is very effective at helping the skin repair itself. It also helps the skin to produce new cells and these 2 factors increases skin elasticity and moisture retention.

And the keratin found in Cynergy TK also prompts the skin to produce more elastin and collagen, 2 other skin proteins essential for maintaining skin elasticity. This also helps reverse the loss of collagen and elastin as you age.

Studies have shown an improvement in moisture levels of-- percent after' days use of anti aging products containing Cynergy TK as well as an improvement in skin elasticity of 42 percent over the same time. Of course all of this improves skin health and elasticity which leads to less wrinkles and healthy skin.

As we age our skin slowly loses its ability to maintain its own health, and this leads to wrinkles, sagging and lines. Ingredients such as Cynergy TK in the best skin care products help restore the levels of important skin proteins and this allows the skin to start restoring optimum health, and restoring health to the skin is the best way to combat ageing.
