Peptides are all the buzz right now and an up-and-coming beauty trend. Do you know what they are, though? How can they help you? Here is the scoop!
What Are Peptides?
According to Dr. Jwala Karnik, Chief Medical Officer at Suneva Medical, peptides are “a biological molecule made up of either short or long chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.” Peptides have the ability to penetrate the top layer of the skin and help produce collagen.
Why Does Skin Love Them?
Simple, because peptides are tiny enough to penetrate the skin, a topical application can signal the skin-repairing process. As a result, peptides are considered a powerful anti-aging formula. It’s pretty much the closest thing to the “fountain of youth” out there right now.
