Sagging and wrinkling is a natural part of aging, largely caused by collagen and elastin loss.
Find out how they work and how to boost their production, so skin looks young and firm.
MYTH: Some companies imply that collagen can support the skin’s own collagen network. Others claim it can be absorbed to moisturize skin.
FACT: The collagen in creams and lotions acts like any protein ingredient in that it merely provides a coating on the skin’s surface (Chase). The collagen molecule cannot penetrate your skin because it is much too large to be absorbed by the epidermis (Brumberg). Collagen, elastin, or other proteins and amino acids cannot get into the skin through topical application. The molecules of these substances are simply too large to penetrate your skin (Novick).
Collagen means “glue producer”. Kolla is Greek for glue.
The most important building block in the entire animal world, collagen is the tie that binds the animal kingdom together. Collagen makes up 75% of our skin. Collagen controls cell shape and differentiation, migration, and the synthesis of a number of proteins. When the body needs to build any new cellular structure as in the healing process, collagen and/or collagen fragments will play a central role.
Collagen is very important for the skin. Indeed, it is the principal structural protein holding the skin together. The quantity and quality of our skin’s collagen has a major role in our appearance. Therefore, it may be tempting to think that simply getting more collagen into the skin should lead to dramatic rejuvenating effects. While there is a grain of truth to that, things are more complicated than they look as far as collagen is concerned.
Types of Collagen & Ageing process
Overall, the amount of collagen in the skin tends to decline with age. However, different types of collagen behave differently. In particular, a child’s skin has a lot of collagen III, the type is common in fast growing tissues. The abundance of the type III collagen is partly responsible for the softness of the young skin. As the body growth slows down, the skin content of type III collagen declines, while that of type I increases. In fact, type I collagen continues to build up until about the age of 35, when the skin reaches the peak of its mechanical strength. After that, type I begins to decline as well. The dynamic of age-related changes in other collagen types remains unclear. However, we do know that by the age of 60, all types of collagen are significantly below their youthful levels.
Is known as the best source of collagen for human skin. Therefore there is a need of technology that would have to be more with actually getting the skin to open up. Marine Collagen Silanetriol/Polypeptides is designed to stimulate Type III collagen deep down within the skin. The enhancement comes from a concentration of extrinsic native proteins from marine collagen, which is known as the best source of collagen. (Jericho Premium designed a special formulated marine collage booster with dead sea minerals and plant extracts).
· Stimulates collagen production and elastin collagen thickening
· Encourages skin renewal and minimize muscle contractions
· Reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines
· Helps provide long-term improvements in deeper wrinkles.
· Helps prevent collagen and elastin breakdown to firm the skin
Our skin will be protected with its elasticity and improve skin plumpness.
As collagen and elastin synthesis slows down, the skin starts to sag and thin and develops fine lines and wrinkles.
What’s responsible for the breakdown?
Having a lot of collagen in our skin is not enough. Collagen degradation is an ongoing, natural process. Collagen is excessively damaged by a number of external factors like UV rays, smoking, impaired glucose metabolism, chlorinated water, free radicals, inflammation, irritation and others. Its structure becomes distorted, leading to poor skin texture, wrinkles and other imperfections. Most components of the skin, including collagen, undergo continuous turnover. New collagen is continually produced and recycled throughout life. At a younger age the synthesis of collagen predominates, whereas after about age of 40, the degradation of collagen picks up speed. Therefore, to keep our skin’s collagen in balance, after certain age you may benefit from steps to boost collagen synthesis and reduce its degradation. Considering that collagen type I and III are predominate in the skin, the agents and treatments shown to stimulate the synthesis of these types are particularly promising. One good example of such an agent is topical stabilized L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and Marine Collagen whose capacity to stimulate both type I and III collagen has been shown in a number of studies.
Pure Marine Collagen Selanitriol will help accelerate collagen synthesis and elastin collagen thickening, encourage skin renewal and reduce skin muscle contraction.
Because of pure concentration, many women could see the results of skin elasticity and plumpness just over a night of application.
Try Jericho Marine Collagen booster for a firmer, younger looking skin.

Pearl powder is a “Secret ingredient” in many of today’s top selling skin care creams and lotions. Pearl Powder is a natural source of calcium from the choicest freshwater pearls bred in the Taihu Lake near Suzhou. Pearl powder is a finely milled powder from quality fresh water pearls. It is naturally compatible and easily absorbed by the skin and body. Proven safe to ingest and apply to skin directly. Traditionally recognized benefits of using pearl powder products include: Healing, skin brightening, anti-wrinkle, and sun protection. Other anti-aging benefits: Helps to promote cell renewal, enhance elasticity, improve circulation, calming and detoxification, protects from environmental radicals, regulates skin discoloration, and smoothes skin texture, helps to nourish the bones and promote the body’s metabolism, helps the growth of teeth and bones.
In the first place, the calcium in pearl powder is absorbed through the skin and into the body, where it has all of the known beneficial effects that calcium does, including whitening skin. More importantly, the amino acids are absorbed by the skin, where they are put to use rebuilding worn-down cells and reconstructing skin, making it smoother and more supple. The amino acids from pearls are the essential building blocks of collagen and elastin, which give your skin its ability to ‘bounce back’ from normal everyday wear and tear. Several researchers have examined the practice of ‘pearling’ closely, and concluded that many of the components in pearl powder actually stimulate cell growth. They stimulate the genetic material (the DNA), and thus promote cellular regeneration — another surefire route to beautiful young-looking skin!
Chinese scientists have proven that pearls have a beneficial effect on human skin. Pearl powder slows the development of melanin, which in turn provides natural skin whitening. It’s amino acids help to smooth microscopic wrinkles and close pores, giving the skin a sheer radiance. Pearl powder also helps to undo sun damage and itself filters the sun’s rays. Pearls contain a powerful natural moisturizer, many proteins which build and strengthen your skin, and polysaccharides which enhance the metabolism and firm the muscles which lie under your facial skin — giving you an even more firm, youthful face! One of the dynamic benefits of Pearl Powder is its anti aging beauty benefits. These days women and men both, more than ever are trying diligently to rejuvenate their youthful appearance. Pearl Powder recaptures and maintains a beautiful, lustrous, youthful complexion. It is renowned for fighting wrinkles and the signs of aging.

The objective of exfoliating is to remove dead cells from the skin’s surface which will result in skin with a fresh healthy glow. Regular exfoliation over time will increase the skin’s capacity to absorb moisture, reduce fine lines and diminish acne. Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their weekly skincare routine. But if you start properly exfoliating your skin, you will notice an almost immediate difference. One of the reasons men’s skin looks more youthful than women’s is because men tend to exfoliate daily when they shave.

Incorporating a mask into your skin care routine is an effective way of intensely revitalizing tired skin. Using a face mask should be a necessary part of a weekly regime. As well as treating skin to a replenishing dose of moisture and renewal, a mask can restore the balance of water and oil within the dermis and epidermis.

The main reason you’d want to use a facial serum is to get added nutrients into deeper layers of your skin that a regular moisturizer is not able to reach. Serum is the most concentrated skin care product and should be used as a base to any moisturizer cream. Serums are typically lightweight and instantly soak into your skin leaving your skin soft and smooth.

Moisturising is an integral part of facial care for both men and women. Basically what a moisturizer does is hold the moisture in your skin, and by doing that, it protects the skin against the drying influences caused by the environment such as weather, effect of sun, genes and even personal damaging (like smoking or lack of water).
