Benefits Of Collagen Facial Treatment

in Face Cream

Note: This article is about collagen facial treatment and should not be confused with a collagen injection treatment.

Collagen — it seems to be the buzzword when it comes to skin care and aging. It is therefore no wonder that collagen facial cream and collagen facial treatments are two of the popular skin care products and treatments today.

But does a collagen facial cream really work and if so, will going to a spa for a collagen facial treatment be even better?

Well, these spa facial treatment (which I love by the way) do help a lot in rejuvenating your face and making it look a bit brighter.

However, if you are hoping that a collagen facial treatment will wipe out all the wrinkles in one treatment, then I’m extremely sorry to disappoint you. But those expectations will not be met at all.

Can I Do Collagen Facial Treatment At Home?

Obviously, it’s much more relaxing when you have one at a spa with a properly trained person doing it. But if you want to do it at home, then you can use a collagen facial cream or even your own homemade collagen facial treatment.

This is something you can do at least 1-2 times a month.

Home Collagen Facial Treatment Steps In A Nutshell:

  1. Always get your face ready for the collagen cream. Cleanse properly to get rid of all impurities.
  2. After cleansing your skin, properly exfoliate. This ensures that dead skin cells are removed from your face. It also gets your face ready to absorb the collagen cream.
  3. Apply collagen facial cream or your own homemade cream (two recommended cream listed below). Massage the cream properly on to your face. Massaging is quite tricky. It’s easy if you know how to do it, but you’ll obviously be at a loss if you don’t. Refer to the video below for a quick lesson on facial cream massage.
  4. Apply a collagen facial mask and leave it on for about 30 minutes.
  5. Wash face with warm water.

I know that there are a lot of facial firming lotion that work well. With the advances in the skin care industry, there are new discoveries every year that show it is possible to stop premature aging, to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and to tone up the face, neck and jawline.

What I’m trying to say is that apart from just putting our trust on a skin firming face cream, we should also improve our diet, exercise and keep away from aging habits such as smoking and staying under the sun too much without proper sun protection.

Do you really need so many firming face cream?

1) Facial Massage – Many facial lotion, creams or serums will give you specific instructions on how to properly apply the cream on your face. Do these instructions to the letter. The instructions are there for a reason and often than not, these facial massages can greatly enhance the way the cream works.

2) Choose The Best Cream – I know this can be a pretty difficult task with the many lotions, gels, serums and what else have you today. Luckily, it’s easier now more than ever to find actual consumer reviews on many of the available anti aging products. Spend a little bit of time reading skin care forum, websites and blog and see which products are regularly given high rating by users. You can also read our article on the Best Face Lift Cream or Ingredients to look for when you buy facial firming cream.

Another thing that you should consider is to use not just one cream. I know this is a pain in the you know where, but many facial firming cream work better when combined with other products from the same brand. So if your wallet, can afford it do so.

3) Facial Yoga – Call it what you want… facial yoga, facial fitness, facial exercise. But whenever you can, do them. I understand it’s a strange concept. But come to think of it. Your face has muscles too and if exercise tones the rest of your body, why shouldn’t you apply exactly the same principe to your face as well?

The Best Firming Facial Cream

in Face Cream

I know how overwhelming it is to look at firming facial cream ingredients. All the strange words written on a bottle can often be very intimidating.

My best advice is to keep it as simple as possible. Know which ingredients are scientifically proven to work and then look out for those ingredients. If they’re not on the list, then go find another one.

So anyway, listed below are the top ingredients you should look for.

Firming Facial Cream

If only it were as easy or as CHEAP as this...

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) – These come in many different forms but the most popular are lactic acid, glycolic acid, and citric acid or vitamin c. These fruit extracts have been proven to reduce wrinkles, smoothen the skin and tone the face.

Many of the popular facial firming products have one or a combination of these AHAs.

Alpha Lipoic Acid – Dr. Nicholas Perricone is a big proponent of this ingredient and it is one of the main ingredients in his skin care products.

There aren’t as many conclusive studies about Alpha lipoic acid but it is more and more becoming a common ingredient in many facial firming cream and serums.

DMAE – This is probably the most potent ingredient you would want to have in your facial firming cream. As of time of writing, this is the one ingredient which studies have shown to be the most effective in tightening and firming up the skin.
