The Egg shell membrane is an organic substance known to increase cellular activity, increase collagen production, slow down skin aging, and reduce the detrimental effects of UV-B damage. Egg shell membranes have outstanding effects on the suppression of aging skin.
Below are 3 things that you need to know about Eggshell membrane skincare:
- The Eggshell Membrane is Unique – It’s responsible for nourishing the embryo, providing all the nutrients and factors it needs to develop in a short period of time. Eggs have two transparent protein membranes between the eggshell and egg white. In the egg anatomy, the membrane serves as the protection against bacteria. These membranes contain fibrous proteins like collagen and hyaluronic acid, among many others. The egg shell membrane is a powerful anti-inflammatory that supplies nutrients and growth factors known to prevent and treat the aging process.
- What are Growth Factors? – Growth factors are large proteins that float between cells in the body communicating commands to replicate, repair, and rejuvenate. In the skin, this includes the cells found in the outermost epidermal layer and the deeper dermis layer. Growth Factors stimulate the cells in the skin to do things like grow and divide, make more collagen and elastin, or increase blood flow. By our late 20s, our skin produces fewer growth factors resulting in less cell growth and thinner, less supple skin. However, growth factors, when applied in skincare products, can act as a sort of “replacement therapy” restoring all the normal signals that supported healthy skin when we were young. This knack for resuscitating basic skin functions like cellular activity and collagen construction makes growth factors a logical fit when researching ingredients in skincare products.
- Eggshell Membranes Have an Abundance of Collagen – Collagen derived from egg shell membranes can have an extremely beneficial effect on your skin’s health and appearance. This collagen can improve skin quality and decrease wrinkles at the same time. Egg shell membranes can mitigate UV-B radiation-induced wrinkles caused by sun exposure. Egg Shell membrane combined with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and hydroxyl acids work together to rev up collagen and production and skin cell renewal. Collagen from egg shell membranes improves elasticity, which reduces the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. Collagen can restore “dermal structure,” which is what gives it the ability to smooth the appearance of cellulite.
