So, how does DHEA cream improve the skin? There are many ways. First, DHEA is a base for “sebum”. Sebum is otherwise known as skin oil. Sebum helps to keep the skin supple. It also has antimicrobial properties that keep irritations at bay. The end result is skin that's a lot brighter, more hydrated and healthier looking.
In a clinical study conducted in 2000, researchers noted that DHEA appears to help the body produce collagen. Collagen is a protein important in connective tissue that gradually deteriorates as we age. As the skin is depleted of collagen, it loses its elasticity and starts to sag and wrinkle. To make matters worse, collagenase enzymes speed up the process of collagen decline begins. DHEA appears to not only help the body produce collagen, but also helps to inhibit the production of collagenase. With regular daily use, Twist 25 DHEA cream helps the body maintain strong healthy connective tissues by supporting healthy collagen in the dermis yielding healthier, more youthful looking skin.
Additional research, in a 2008 Canadian study, reinforced the findings of the 2000 study. In the 2008 study, researchers noted that DHEA cream appears to help the body "switch on" special genes that are responsible for collagen production. At the same time, the presence of DHEA cream seems to reduce the expression, or effectiveness of genes that are associated with the production of keratinocytes. This is noteworthy because keratinocytes make the skin rougher and even cause it to form calluses. Therefore, it appears that regularly using DHEA cream can help the body keep the skin smoother and softer.
These facts are why we recommend using Twist 25 DHEA cream on your face, neck and hands. Additionally, DHEA cream also reduces the risk of both chemical and UV carcinogens; and DHEA also fades keratoses or “age spots” or “liver spots.”
When you take all of these things into consideration, it's easy to understand why DHEA cream can help people have healthier, younger-looking skin. Unlike so many skincare products, the benefits of DHEA cream are backed up by medical research and science.
