sagging and sunken under-eye skin
-
are there any products that will help with skin sagging? I do not have lines or wrinkles but my collagen has begun to deplete and my skin is beginning to sag. i would love to have the fullness and tautness back in my cheeks and under-eyes. thank you
-
You need a product that should stimulate the production of collagen in your skin and leaves you with firm and flawless skin. Lifecell is a product that will solve all your above mentioned problems.

Maybe the Brains will answer this one. Lifecell seems to be yet another of those super expensive products that makes a lot of claims...Simply moisturizing the undereye area will help the way it looks considerably. I use a product from Olay - Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum, Fragrance Free as a moisturizer in the eye area. It is a serum so it doesn't interfere with makeup for daytime. 1.7 oz. is $20-$23 US, depending on where you buy it. There are peptides in the formula and peptides are supposed to help with skin firmness to an extent. If nothing else, it moisturizes nicely!I hope the Brains pick up on this thread! Maybe they will have some really good suggestions for you!

im going for dermal fillers on my cheeks. Have the brains addressed dermal fillers?
-
@lindygirl, according to me spending some on a good skin cream is much more less painful than the pain of botox injections,skin peels and surgeries.
-
@ zeldabacon, that is true. But a good skin cream does not have to cost a fortune. (Thank goodness!!) :)
-
botox injections are not painful, not sure about the peels, but i don't think they are painful either
-
@Ally, why do you keep criticizing me in every post? Botox injections are really painful.
-
I wish there was an easy answer for you.
- As LindyG pointed out, most super expensive creams and lotions are a waste of money.
- You could try collagen nutritional supplements; there's some evidence that shows if you ingest a few grams of collagen a day it can boost collagen levels in the skin.
- You can also see a dermatologist about micro-needling which has been shown to boost collagen levels.
-
zeldabacon, I can assure you I don't have a personal vendetta against you haha :D but your post must trigger something, I don't agree with what you post that's all. if I paid attention to what you have been posting lately maybe i'd be able to answer your query. Also I don't see how botox injections are 'very painful', childbirth is very painful and tooth extraction without anaesthetics is very painful, but not botox injections.

THEN GO AHEAD ALLEY..

Right Brain. How much is a few grams of collagen? can you be more specific?. I cant find the exact daily dosis, if someone found it please let me know.
Thanks!

I found it in another Brains post: "....daily ingestion of collagen peptide can help control UV-B induced skin damage and photoaging. In this particular study,
subjects ingested 0.2 g of collagen peptide per kilogram of body mass
per day. That’s approximately 11 grams of collagen per day for a 125
pound woman..."
But unfortunately its not any type of collagen you find at the pharmacy.......

does this make a difference for people who don't wear sunscreen religiously only? people who wear spf everyday are protected from uvb already, so what impact would collagen make then?
-
I believe it could still have some benefit because sunscreens are not 100% effective in protecting against collagen degradation. Also UV rays are not the only cause of collagen breakdown.
-
What about just eating a lot of jelly?. Daily consumption of that amount of collagen may end up being expensive.
-
Collagen is made up of proteins, so adding proteins rich food and nuts to your diet can help you.
Howdy, Stranger!
