Best Peptide Skin Care Products & Treatments Leave a comment

Wrinkles, fine lines, dry skin. It can be worrisome, or even alarming, when you notice changes in your skin, but peptide skin care products might just be the answer. Peptides may feel like a buzzword in skin care, but they’re so much more than that — they’re a reliable way to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for visibly smoother, plumper and youthful-looking skin. Let’s explore the effects of these ingredients, their benefits, as well as spa treatments with similar collagen-boosting effects.

What Are Peptides?  

Peptides are a vital active in skin care products, leaving skin looking plump and youthful. When applied to the face, peptides activate the production of protein (such as collagen) in the skin. Collagen is essential when it comes to improving our skin’s appearance. It acts as a building block for skin, bones, joints, teeth, muscles, joints and connective tissues, and gives our skin its firmness and elasticity. Unfortunately, collagen production declines as we age, leaving the skin less youthful-looking. By including peptides in your skin care, you can dramatically improve the appearance of the tone and texture of your skin. 

Curious about the effectiveness of these ingredients? Let’s take a closer look at product options as well as spa treatments below.

The Marine Flower Peptide Collection 

The botanical peptides and algae extracts found in our Marine Flower Peptide Collection are designed to leave the skin looking firm and elastic. The Marine Flower Peptide Serum and Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream can be added to any skin care routine to deliver significantly smoother skin that looks truly ageless. This eye cream can be applied morning and night and will not only target the look of fine lines, but dark circles as well. According to Lead Skin Care Trainer Natalie Pergar, the Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream and Marine Flower Peptide Serum both “refine pores and smooth the look of the complexion.” 

The Marine Flower Peptide Concentrate supports the benefits of the Marine Flower Peptide Serum by further increasing the appearance of skin firmness and targeting the visible signs of aging.

Our Eminence Organics Product Support Representatives explain that this serum will “also help treat redness from dry skin and improve the look of skin tone and texture overall.”

Spa Treatments For Smooth Skin

Skin care products containing peptides aren’t the only solution for skin that looks strong and supple. Support your skin with collagen-boosting spa treatments; you can contact an authorized Eminence Organics spa near you to see what services they offer.

Microneedling

Microneedling (or collagen induction therapy) is designed to stimulate collagen production. This treatment creates thousands of microscopic punctures in the skin to induce wound-healing. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s fibroblasts to synthesize new collagen and elastin. Stefanie Williams MD tells Get The Gloss: “Medical needling gives skin a gentle nudge to remind it to keep making fresh collagen. It’s a very natural regenerative treatment that helps the skin help itself.”

Laser Treatments

Fractionated lasers are another go-to. These work similarly to microneedling in that they cause tiny, controlled injuries that trigger the creation of new collagen. In this case, rather than using medical needles, the skin care professional will use resurfacing lasers to stimulate collagen production. Dr. Zeichner tells Harper’s Bazaar: “Lasers work by punching microscopic holes in the skin, creating a controlled burn and taking advantage of the skin’s ability to heal itself after wounds.”

Microcurrent Therapy

If your skin is in the early stages of the aging process, microcurrent treatments can be beneficial. This type of spa treatment is best for skin that is showing the earliest signs of aging, as it conditions the skin’s fibroblasts to function optimally and continue to produce healthy, high-quality collagen. In microcurrent therapy, two metal rods that conduct low-level electricity are drawn over the surface of the skin to stimulate and energize facial muscles.
