Skin Details

If you are interested in researching a little about skin care and skin health it wont be long before you start to read about the role of keratin in maintaining your skins health. But what is keratin?

You can find keratin in many parts of our bodies. It is a very strong protein that can be found in parts of our bodies like our hair and nails, and our skin.

Keratin is formed by cells called keratinocytes and is found mainly in the epidermis of our skin, and they will slowly make their way to the surface of the skin where they form a protective layer of dead skin cells which are slowly lost over time.

There are some important roles that keratin performs in our skin, including providing some skin waterproofing. But in particular it provides skin elasticity and skin strength.

Both of these are essential to skin health, but as we age our store of skin keratin reduces so the strength and elasticity of our skin reduces.

So you would be accurate in assuming that if you use skin care products with keratin in them you are restoring your stores of skin keratin and thereby improving your skin strength and elasticity right? Wrong.

The reason is that the process used to produce the keratin found in mainstream skin care products is a process using heat and acid, and this "denaturalizes" the keratin into a form that is of no use to the skin.

So if that's keratin what does functional keratin mean? Functional keratin is keratin that is not changed or denaturalized by the process of extracting it, and is still of use to the skin. It is produced without heat or acid from the wool of sheep.

It is only recently that this process has been perfected by one small company that makes it and has patented it. It is put into a product called Cynergy TK that is used only in the worlds very best skincare products.

Studies on the results that use of Cynergy TK can produce have been impressive with visible results within a short time, a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines and an improvement in the complexion.

You can get skin care products that contain Cynergy TK. Cynergy TK is very expensive, but the products containing it aren't any more expensive than the mainstream skin care products because the company that makes them doesn't advertise so saves huge amounts of it's budget, and puts this back into product quality.

You'll find that the big brand mainstream anti aging products are priced to factor in all that advertising.

So now you know more about keratin and what it does in the skin, and about what funtional keratin is.

I write more about Cynergy TK on my website.
