Got Collagen?

So basically, through years of researching and struggling on figuring out what are the best products out there for my skin(and thanks to my little side biz), I learned that the bottom line is: I NEED MORE COLLAGEN, in order to make improvements to my skin. As we age, we are losing collagen

FACT: by the age of 30, we lose 1% of collagen production per year, and thereafter. By age 40, collagen deteriorates faster than it can be produced. 

WE NEED COLLAGEN in our skin to make any improvements to it- not just for wrinkles(but yes that's super important), but for any skin issue you may be dealing with- adult acne, sun damage, dark marks, enlarged pores, etc. Whatever your skin regimen/products may be, if you aren't using a special Tool or Micro-exfoliating product, increased collagen production isn't happening as quickly as you need it to be.

Here's what EVERYONE Needs, and it the best micro-exfoliating tool(in my opinion) on the market. If you follow me on FaceBook, then You already know how much I love this tool..

Let me introduce you the the AmpMD System- This is by far, the best collagen producing system I've found on market as it contains not only the roller tool itself, but also some magical Night Renewing Serum.

Let's talk about about this blue roller secret weapon. There are a million micro needling tools out there but what what sets THIS ONE apart from others is that is contains hundreds of stainless steel, surgical-grade needles, which you roll over your skin for a total of 60 seconds, for micro-exfoliation. What this tool does, is it stimulates and conditions your outermost later of skin to produce more collagen, more rapidly. I like to think of it like "aerating your skin." 

So at night, after you have "rolled" over your face, neck and jowels and anything else that is hanging on your face, your pores are then opened and "primed" to put a kick-ass strong ingredient on them afterwards to seep into your pores and cells that much FASTER and DEEPER. This is the jackpot. So whether you are using Target skincare products, or premium skincare products, everyone can incorporate this tool into their routine (if you are pregnant/nursing, always consult your dr, and/or I do not recommend to use a Micro-Needling tool over active acne.)

The Doctors who created this  Redefine Night Renewing Serum, have a patent on these capsules- they found that retinol (its primary ingredient) can lose is potency and pureness, when sitting in a tube or pump(yes, like the kind you get from your Derm). So they patented these capsules which contains a hefty dose of retinol and time released peptides to shed dead skin cells to minimize the appearance of pores, elasticity, increase firmness, and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkle. This this what I LIVE FOR at night. And this night serum comes with the roller too!  Night serum + roller = COLLAGEN baby!!

Recommendation #2

Another product to help with collagen production, is to have a really good micro-exfoliating scrub. I'm not talking about a "sandy" or "bead-like" texture that you already have in your face wash. NO. I'm talking about a product specifically for micro-exfoliation. You should exfoliate at the VERY minimum, weekly, but can do it up to 3-4 times a week, depending on your specific skin. Consistent exfoliation will speed up collagen production. Your skincare products will absorb better because the outermost layer of your skin is gone.

I was introduced this tub of goodness from a neighbor, and I had no idea what I had been missing out on all these years! Let me introduce you to this Microdermabrasion PASTE. Primarily made of sugar and salt, hence the texture. If it gets on your lips, you can seriously taste the ingredients :). Love this scrub especially because it isn't drying. After you use it, literally your face feels like a baby's bottom!! You can use all over your body- great for cracked heels, elbows, chest, etc. A whole tub of this stuff will last me a year, so it's totally reasonable.

So yes, I use both products weekly. I actually use the AmpMD Roller at least 4 times(at night) per week, followed by the night serum , plus I use this PASTE during those "off days" or sometimes right after the morning shower.  I can't get enough of it.

SO there it is... my advice on how to increase collagen. Your welcome.
