WHAT ARE PEPTIDES IN SKINCARE?
Peptides! We love them!
They definitely aren't a new thing to the industry of skincare, and they certainly aren’t going anywhere!
Peptides are needed and very necessary when it comes to anti-aging skincare.
If you’re looking for younger looking skin, peptides within the formulation are a must.
In a nutshell, peptides are Cell Communicators - telling the skin to do something specific. When applied topically to the skin, they act as little messengers, triggering skin cells to perform specific functions such as building collagen and elastin, along with encouraging skin to look and act younger.
Without Peptides, the skin doesn’t have as many building blocks in place to prevent ageing - resulting in lack of firmness and lines and wrinkles. Nor does it have the help to produce MORE collagen.
As we age, our collagen production decreases - without as much collagen our skin doesn’t have the same plumpness and bounce, ultimately resulting in lines and wrinkles.
FACT - Collagen is a molecule too big for our skin to absorb, so creams or drinks that contain collagen simply won’t do the job. This is why a lot of people turn to Collagen Supplements to allow the body to truly accelerate it’s production or products such as Vitamin A that will trigger collagen to be produced too.
Within skincare, this is where Peptides step in. Peptides have been proven to play a fantastic role in enhancing collagen production within the skin, allowing the skin to appear noticeably younger, with renewed firmness and a more even complexion.
BUT ON THEIR OWN, THEY AREN’T ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHANGE TO YOUR SKIN.
When peptides get mixed with other active ingredients such a Vitamin A, C and E, it accelerates the advantages of these active ingredients, making them work more effectively within the skin.
Cocktails of products that include Peptides are exactly what you need to look for when it comes to anti ageing skincare. Active ingredients that are inside products as well as peptides can lead you to expect greater skin changes.
Environ's products are the ultimate all-round anti ageing solution due to Peptides being combined within their products.
Many of the Environ products include Peptides to enhance the anti-ageing benefits.
Which are the best products with Peptides in them?
Environ Vita-Peptide Toner - £46
Never underestimate the power of a Toner! Known as the Anti-Ageing Treatment lotion, this toner is packed full of peptides that work together to promote wrinkle smoothing by enhancing collagen production within the skin, as well as improving skin tone and elasticity. To be used after thoroughly cleansing the skin.
Environ Peptide Enriched Frown Serum - £123
The ultimate Frown Buster. Described as the ‘botox in a bottle’ product, this formulation has been packed with peptides to create collagen production, reducing the appearance of frown lines.
The frown serum help to relax facial tension as well as helping to reduce the muscle activity between the brow area and crows feet. Following your Toner, this product will get the best results following skin rollering. Apply twice to the brow and crows feet area, and then follow on with eye gel.
Environ Vita-Peptide Eye Gel - £57
Step aside all other Eye Creams out there. This product is one of our biggest and best sellers. The results are fantastic for treating the eye area to give more youthful and anti-ageing results around the eyes.
Containing a specific peptide mix this tricks the skin into knowing it doesn’t have enough collagen, so it makes more! For as long as you’re using it, the collagen production will keep on happening, perfect for smoothing and reducing lines and wrinkles around the eye area. To be applied after Cleansing and Toning OR following the frown serum.
Environ Focus Care Youth Avance Moisturiser (serum) - £77
This product contains super smart peptides complexes, that have been combined together to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin appear firmer, and more youthfully radiant.
For a power-packed boost of peptides, we'd recommend using the Focus Care Youth Tri Peptide Complex Avance moisturiser, underneath your Environ Vitamin A moisturiser. (Try not to get confused by the name, this is a serum product to be used before moisturising.)
Environ C-Quence Serum 1 and Defence Creme - £160 when purchased together
Your married couple Moisturisers. If Environ could make these two products into one bottle, they would but due to the active ingredients, they wouldn’t hold a long enough shelf life to get to your home if they did! These two products ALWAYS get used together.
If you’re wanting anti-aging results, and you want them NOW, this is your answer.
Packed with Peptides, alongside Vitamin A and Antioxidants, this is the leading choice for those who want the anti-aging results in the quickest way possible. As your last skincare routine step, you pop 1 pump of each product into your palm and then apply to the face morning and evening.
Once you’ve completed 2 full bottles of Serum 1 alongside Defence Creme, you then move up to using Serum 2 alongside Defence Creme… 2 bottles of that and then Serum 3 alongside Defence Creme (you catch my drift…) and you move your skin journey safely to higher amount of Vitamin A, peptides and antioxidants. Keep your skin journey going all the way through to Level 4Plus!
