How Peptides in Skin Care Products Provide An Anti-Aging Boost
Question: Hi Val, there has been so much talk about peptides and anti-aging skin care products. I wonder, what do peptides do and do they really work?
Valentina: You are right, anti aging Peptides are a popular subject, and for good reason. Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins and many other different types of organic molecules. They are easily absorbed by our bloodstream, and for this reason, they have become very popular and effective in anti aging skin care products.
Anti Aging- How Do Peptides Work?
There are many different peptides, and each peptide works in a different way to provide an anti-aging effect on your body. Some help relax facial wrinkles while others help increase collagen production which can plump up fine lines and wrinkles. When we age collagen is destroyed and is not naturally replaced. As a result skin becomes thin and wrinkled over time.
One strategy to improve winkles and to make you look younger is to replace lost collagen. When certain peptides are applied to the skin, they act as a signal to tell your skin it was damaged and to make new collagen.
The most popular single peptide for cosmetic use is palmitoyl pentapeptide (Matrixyl). It can be found in many peptide skin products and might be effective in improving the appearance of fine lines.
You can find this active ingredient in many common drug store/department store products like Strivectin and much less expensive products like Regenerist by Oil of Olay.
How to Get the Best Anti Aging Results From Peptides
Remember, peptides are easily absorbed, but not if you have a buildup of dead skin cells on your face. This can block absorption of your most expensive beauty products. Protect your investment. Remember to exfoliate and have a professional microdermabrasion performed 1x every 3 months. This way you can be sure that your products will perform as promised.

Valentina you totally saved my eyebrows …
Hello. My name is Christine Cirillo and I am a beauty adviser and make up artist for Christian Dior and Valentina happened to be doing an eyebrow shaping and waxing event at the Lord n Taylor in the Monmouth Mall.
I WISH I would have met her sooner!!! I have been getting my eyebrows threaded for years now and I will never go back threading them ever again!!!!
Valentina brought to my attention how badly my eyebrows were damaged from getting them threaded. I had so many bald spots in my eyebrows and hairs were growing in all different directions. Valentina you totally saved my eyebrows and I have never felt so comfortable before in my life. You had me relaxed and SHOWED me where my brows were funky!
When people say you are a miracle worker they are not kidding. I can’t wait to see you again! I had a wonderful experience and now I have wonderful eyebrows thanks to you!!!!!!

Skin Inc Magazine Interviews Valentina Chistova
I want to thank Skin Inc Magazine for their beautiful article that was published in June. I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with one of their talented writers, Abby Penning, during an interview which focused on my skin care background and expertise in aesthetics. This is the second time Skin Inc interviewed me for a feature article and I want to thank them for their professionalism.
Skin care, eyebrow shaping and waxing are my biggest passions in this industry, and it’s been over 20 years already that I have had the pleasure of working in the spa business. I enjoy starting every day reading emails from people all over the country, people who have questions about skin care, anti-aging, acne, eyebrow shaping and more. I love reading your emails and I love having the ability to offer my knowledge to you via the Internet. I have also had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful people who visit my spa, Aquamedica Salon and Day Spa in Long Branch, NJ.
If you have a moment, I hope you will read the article that was published in the Skin Inc Magazine June issue. It will give you a closer look at my background, how I got started and who were my greatest influencers.

Thank you again for allowing me into your lives and entrusting me with your questions regarding health and beauty!
Sincerely ~
Valentina
