horribleblob Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 ... How your skin ages depends largely upon genetics, exposure to the sun and other external factors such as smoking... [My bold] Does it not also depend on what you put in your body - foods to stimulate collagen production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 They do say that a bit of you-know-what, pearl necklace, is good for your skin I've heard that too, no doubt this is something that a man dreamt up. I think bionicle, pestiside, pepsicolas, rectal proteins and BNPs and RCAs are all clinically proven to prevent the signs of ageing. Botox is the only way.

I'm sure that diet must factor in there too, only no one's discovered the link yet, or have they? It'll be some marketing bod's dream account if a food manufacturer manages to make such a claim.

Suffragette1 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I was just thinking of asparagus, spinach and avocado - nothing that needs "manufacturing". Are they supposedly foods that stimulate collagen? I should have said manufacturer/producer (I meant farmers too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genes, they're the biggest factor. That and sun exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horribleblob Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Exposure to the Sun usually makes me frown, so I agree on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 On a serious note, how can anyone prove that these creams work? Unless you have a control subject of someone with the exact same genetic make-up who has had the exact same external factors in their life and compare the one who has used 'anti-ageing' cream to the one who hasn't, it's all bogus claims and pseudo-science with made up names like boswoll****** or some such which sound vaguely scientific. Don't be fooled by it and just find a cream that suits your skin. Failing that, never frown or use any facial expression, never go in the sun, drink plenty of water to keep hydrated and hope that your genes are good. Found a link to this at the bottom of this thread. That's advertising for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
