Is collagen replacement easy? Is it even possible? The answer is yes, and no. In order for you to understand how to best accomplish having more collagen here is an uncomplicated explanation.

Our best source of collagen is our own body. When we are young it automatically produces all the collagen we need for us to look young and smooth. Slowly, as we begin to get out of our teens, we start producing less and less of it. This is totally normal. It's the way nature intended.

In the old days, before antibiotics and other important medical breakthroughs took place, people died young. Most didn't get a chance to live long enough to get wrinkles and sags. It was only when they started living longer that they experienced the cruel trick nature had played on them. Once they saw how terrible they looked at an older age, they became inventive. Scientists and doctors discovered the key to plumping up skin, collagen replacement.

During their learning process they experimented with lotions and potions that would feed it into the skin's layers. When nothing happened they came up with plastic surgery to tighten up sagging skin. It was an imperfect art and often the results were not pleasing to the eye, to say the least. People even died in the process. Even today, with advanced techniques, there can be unfortunate accidents.

Then came collagen replacement shots. They worked well for many people and were quite the rage in the 1970's, until the FDA decided the type of collagen being used was harmful. So, it was pulled off the market, much to the dismay of the vain and reckless.

Then along came liposuction. The brave of heart, who were too lazy to lose weight any other way, went for it and many died in the process. But they were pioneers and we owe them a lot. Soon doctors figured out how to inject the unwanted fat back into our very own faces. Since it was our own, our bodies didn't reject it. We got the rounder, plumped out faces of our youth back again, with a more natural look than a facelift.

The process is expensive, not without risk, and good for about five years at most. Along came other fillers which produce good and almost instant results. Again, these are expensive and short lasting. Botox works well to smooth out wrinkles, but like everything else out there, it has to be repeated every six months or so and is costly. It is also not without its own horror stories.

When it comes to the quest for youth and beauty, the quest goes on. Many collagen replacement creams have come and gone because they don't work. Only your body can produce it. It's been discovered that antioxidants, keratin and Japanese kelp can be broken down into tiny molecules that, put into a cream, really work. They get deep into our body's collagen replacement engine and rev up the motor. Keep using this antioxidant rich cream and, before you know it, your wrinkles and sags will be a nightmare of the past. As long as you use your antioxidant rich cream your body will keep making collagen.

So when you ask if collagen replacement is possible, obviously the answer is yes. But only with a natural, chemical free cream that can seep through your layers of skin in order to reach your body's rusty engine. Once you get it running again, you'll have given yourself the best chance of looking young and vibrant into old age.

But you need to do your small part to help fool mother nature. Eat right. No more junk food allowed. Give up smoking. Take your vitamins and fish oils and get enough sleep. In other words, take care of your health. You'll be glad when you see the results. And the best part is, the ingredients in your antioxidant rich cream keep the sun's rays from damaging you. You won't have to worry about using chemically loaded sunscreens any longer.
