Face it. Everybody wants to look good but not everyone takes time to examine the things that prevent them from looking good. Here, we evaluate closely the many things we commonly encounter that contribute to the rapid decline of collagen material inside our body.

How wrinkles develop

Briefly, we begin to develop wrinkles when our skin starts to lose its elasticity. This can be largely attributed to reduced amount of collagen present inside our body, especially those found underneath our skin. It is collagen which is mainly responsible in giving structure of the skin tissues and maintaining their firmness. As we grow older, our body tends to produce less collagen. And anything that hampers collagen regeneration will expedite our aging process, at least noticeably starting with the way our skin looks.

Knowing those various harmful substances and activities will greatly help your skin recover its firm and elastic properties. Your diligent avoidance of those factors will help promote rapid production of collagen to replace the dying and damaged ones.

Get rid of those harmful chemicals

Avoid skin care products that contain harmful chemicals, such Dioxane, mineral oil, fragrance and parabens. Dioxane is a known cancer-causing agent commonly used in the manufacture of solvents and other industrial products. Yet they also end up being contained in a lot of shampoos, deodorants, toothpastes, mouthwashes and many skin care products. Mineral oil is sometimes listed as liquid paraffin, paraffin wax or petrolatum in select personal care products. If applied topically, it clogs skin pores.

This prevents the skin from "breathing" while trapping the harmful toxins found underneath. Most chemicals listed as fragrance are commonly known as carcinogenic or cancer-causing substances. Paraben is commonly used as a preservative in lots of beauty creams and skin lotions. It is usually listed as propyl, butyl, methyl or ethyl paraben. Lots of clinical studies linked paraben to certain types of cancer.

Do not use skin care products that are entirely cosmetic in nature. Buy those products which contain beneficial substances and ingredients CynergyTK, Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10 and Phytessence Wakame that help the body rejuvenate and stimulate collagen production.

Do not rely on palliative measures only. Use only those which are designed to nourish and nurture the body. Being a naturally found protein, collagen is being produced by the body naturally. All that that you need are those essential elements and substances that help and promote the body to rapidly produce more collagen molecules. Those regenerated collagen bundles replace the ones the body loses as we grow older.

Now that you know those harmful substances, start getting rid of them immediately to help your body regenerate its collagen supply.
