We all wish we could have smooth youthful looking skin, free of wrinkles. Although wrinkles cannot be avoided completely, there are some things we can do to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and we don't mean expensive dangerous procedures like Botox or plastic surgery. Rather, we suggest something much more natural, that our body already produces by itself… collagen.

Collagen is a protein consisting of amino acids, which is one of the most abundant proteins in the body, and has a key role in connective tissue in the skin, bones and ligaments. Collagen monitors the elasticity and firmness of the skin, therefore influencing the skin's strength, texture and flexibility.

As we age, our body produces less and less collagen, resulting in more wrinkles and fine lines, as well as saggy looking skin. Age is not the only factor that causes less collagen in body. Collagen breakdown can be accelerated by external factors such as sun damage, free radicals in the air, water and nutrition, smoking etc. Hence, it is important to start your anti-aging skincare routine by your early 30's, to help your skin maintain its natural elasticity and slow down the appearance of wrinkles.

Adding vitamin C, anti-oxidants and plenty of water to your daily diet can benefit your skin and help the absorbance of collagen into the skin. Along with quality skincare, collagen can dramatically affect the appearance of wrinkles and reduce saggy skin.

Jericho Skincare offer several anti-aging skincare products that contain collagen, and are uniquely formulated to reduce wrinkles and fine lines:

• JP Marine Collagen Boosteris enriched with marine collagen, a mineral complex from the Dead Sea, seaweed and pearl powder extract to support skin tone and elasticity, and optimally retain its moisture level.
• JP Facial Collagen Mask  enriched with Dead Sea minerals and marine collagen, tightens the skin and offers intensive moisturizing. This mask offers an anti-oxidizing treatment to fight premature aging, wrinkles, and sagging of the skin. The collagen and omega 3 & 6 increase the skin’s firmness, thickness and elasticity. 
•  JP Dead Sea Restoring Day Crème firms and tightens skin, and also helps to boost skin elasticity. The crème is absorbed into the dermis (the skin between the epidermis and subcutaneous tissues), helping the skin to restore collagen, followed by fewer wrinkles, creases and minor signs of aging. In addition, the strong and effective formula of vitamin E and C protects your skin from harmful toxins that cause skin conditions.  Also try JP Tango Kit which contains Jericho Premium Restoring Day Cream & Eye and Neck Gel
