The topic of peptides came up at a dinner party this weekend. Hey, it happens when you have a skincare business :-)! My friend (and PPI customer), Audrey, brought up the topic of peptides. I laughed when she said, "I don't know what they are, but my sister said they are good, and I want them in my face products," exclaimed Audrey.
Well, your sister is right, Audrey, we should be using peptides daily. Here's what they are and why we include them in our EWG Verified Peptide Eye Gel, and Bliss Face, Neck & Decollete Serum.
Peptides are chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins in the skin. When peptides form a long chain of amino acids, they become proteins. They are able to penetrate the top layer of our skin and send signals to our cells to let them know how to function.
Collagen is an important protein in our skin. It gives our skin its thickness, suppleness, and tone. When collagen breaks down in the skin (from age and environmental factors like the sun and stress), wrinkles form. Peptides applied topically to the skin can send a signal to collagen to prompt the formation of new collagen, and voila, you have the appearance of more youthful, healthy skin.
For the most part, peptides take some time to work (except for the immediate effects of some of the neuropeptides-like the ones found in our Peptide Eye Gel). Peptides are best applied in serums for a long period of time. You can start to see results in 4 to 12 weeks. Keep in mind that upkeep is so important with peptides.
Parisian's Pure Indulgence includes peptides along with a host of other potent ingredients, in our Peptide Eye Gel, to assist in reducing the look of under eye puffiness (cucumber, organic periwinkle, organic licorice), and those pesky crow's feet we get after a certain...ahem, age.
Peptides are something we should all incorporate into our skin care routine. Thanks Audrey!
Thank you for this information, so very helpful and now I know what a Peptide is! I am glad I inspired you to write this because others will want to know too.

How to give ourselves a DIY facial at home
As we anxiously await the day we can visit our favorite Esthetician or Spa, let's keep our skin looking it's best.
What is a facial and what does it do?
Navigating the world of nail services and products can be confusing. The big three in long-wearing manicure options are acrylic nails, gel manicures and now, dip nails.
What is a Dip Manicure? A cross between acrylic and gel, the dip method involves painting nails with a special primer coat, then another coat called the base coat. The finger is dipped in a jar of colored powder. Each finger goes through the process twice and then,
Depression is a serious condition that demands a doctor's treatment. But the following lifestyle changes may give you a boost if you're feeling low, say from minimal social connection after many "safer at home" days :-)
