What Are Peptides? A Guide to Peptide Skincare

Peptides function as messengers, communicating with your skin to support the production of collagen and elastin. In essence, they can help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, resulting in more youthful-looking skin.

Vida Spas in both Whistler and Vancouver has just launched Skin Functional Skincare. Born in South Africa, Skin Functional is a results-driven product line dedicated to delivering clinically proven outcomes through high-performance active ingredients and rich in peptides.

More About Peptides

Peptides are chains of amino acids that act as building blocks to help repair and protect the skin barrier. A healthy skin barrier helps prevent dryness and lock in moisture.
They can also help soothe the skin and reduce the appearance of inflammation.

There are many types of peptides:

• Collagen-boosting peptides that support the production of collagen and elastin.
• Carrier peptides that deliver trace elements, such as copper, to support skin repair.
• Neurotransmitter peptides that may help relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of expression lines.
• Enzyme-inhibiting peptides that can help slow the natural breakdown of collagen.
