Copper Peptides Can Help Reduce the Appearance of Sun Damage and Acne Scars

If you want smooth, firm, and glowing skin, the answer could be right in your jewelry box. That's right. Certain metals like gold and copper not only have the power to make your necklace dazzle, but can be used to improve your complexion and beyond. Read on as dermatologist Julie Russak, M.D., breaks down beautifying benefits of using metals in your skin-care routine.

COPPER BOOSTS COLLAGEN

Considering collagen injections? You might want to bulk up on some copper creams instead. "Several studies have shown that copper is one of the essential molecules involved in the synthesis of mature elastin and collagen, main proteins that play a role in maintaining youthful wrinkle-free skin," says Russak.


IT"S HEALING

According to Russak, copper is also regarded for its strong healing powers. "The increased collagen produced by copper peptides can also help reduce the appearance of sun damage and acne scars because the compound promotes rapid cell turnover," says Russak.


COPPER REDUCES FINE LINES

In addition to promoting collagen, Russak says copper has many important antioxidant properties. "This is great for our skin because antioxidants help prevent cell damage, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and promoting healthier-looking skin," says Russak.
