How To Firm Your Skin With Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as the building blocks of proteins crucial to maintaining skin's texture, strength, and bounce. As we age, there is a natural reduction in these essential skin proteins, while external factors such as UV radiation and pollution accelerate their degradation. This is where the topical application of peptides comes in.

What do peptides do for the skin?

Peptides are a key ingredient for firm, radiant, healthy-looking skin. There are thousands of peptides made from different combinations of amino acids, and each one can have a different effect and benefit on skin. Incorporating peptide-powered skincare can help to increase moisture for dehydrated skin, restore skin's firmness, smooth wrinkles and fine lines, or strengthen the skin's barrier depending on the type of peptides.

How do I incorporate peptides in my skincare routine?
