PEP-TIDINGS from Cara Linda

Now you can ease wrinkles without Botox!

In the war against aging, peptides are the new soldiers on the front lines.  With a dizzying array of complicated chemical names, such acetyl hexapeptide 3 or cosmeceutical names, such as Matrixyl 3000 and Argireline, peptides can be confusing.  A peptide is a chain of amino acids strung together, and a chain of peptides forms a protein.

To see benefits, it’s important that ingredients are low in molecular weight and can pass through the layers of the skin to reach and affect receptor cells.   The right peptide applied to a wrinkle will communicate directly to the nerve receptors to calm and plump skin.  You can think of peptides as keys and your skin’s cell surface receptors as locks.

Because peptide molecules naturally occur in the body, skin is readily able to accept them topically.  Incredible as it may sound, they have messaging systems that get between cells and tell skin to behave in a certain way.  For that reason, not all peptides should be used all over the face; instead a small amount is placed on the actual line.  Peptides last between 6-8 hours so is best applied twice a day and results are only maintained with regular use.

At studies presented at the World Congress of Dermatology in Paris, high concentrations of peptide formulations reduced wrinkles by up to 50%.  Peptides not only reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but help stimulate collagen growth, which diminishes with age.  Being able to reduce the number and severity of wrinkles while building new tissue is cutting edge.  Profession use and retail products containing peptides in combination with other ingredients are now resulting in the best anti-aging skincare on the market.

I am pleased to announce the addition of Kinerase Pro-Therapy to my line of cosmeceutical products.  I’m very excited about the results I am seeing with their C6 Peptide and Advanced Repair Serum.  Why not treat yourself this holiday season (or put it on your wish list).  Receive a FREE tube of PCA Lip Peptide (a $20 value) with all peptide purchases or any purchase over $100 during the month of December.  FREE sample sets of Kinerase product also available.

Have a wonderful and blessed holiday season.
Merry Christmas,
Linda
