Wheat protein is an ingredient used in many beauty products like face lift serum because it not only contains protein, but also amino acids that are easily absorbed by skin and hair. As with most ingredients used on the skin, wheat protein can have pros and cons. The main benefit is the film-forming agent that can tighten and firm the skin. This is great news for women looking for a facelift effect. Another great benefit is that it helps the skin retain its moisture, which can certainly help fight the aging process. The downside is that some people are allergic to wheat, and while many women who are typically intolerant to wheat can apply it topically without issue, some allergic skin reactions have been reported when using this ingredient in a product. If you’re allergic to wheat, you should consider asking your dermatologist and allergist before trying to apply it to your skin, but know that there’s a chance this amazing ingredient could be used to help you look younger and healthier.
Wheat protein, of course, is derived from wheat. We’re all familiar with wheat when it comes to food and nutrition, but I didn’t know until recently that it was ever used in beauty products. It makes sense, though, because a great rule of thumb for health enthusiasts is to never put anything on your skin that you can’t safely ingest. In this case, you could ingest it, and many of us do it every day.
So how does it fit into skin and hair care products like face lift serum? The protein extracted from wheat for use in skin and hair care products is hydrolyzed wheat protein. This is a wheat protein that has been partially converted to water through hydrolysis. Proteins transport nitrogen to living cells, are wonderfully compatible with the skin, and help soothe and hydrate.
I mentioned earlier that it has a film-forming effect. This is why it is most important that products promise a temporary non-surgical face lift. Many women are looking for alternatives to dangerous surgery and botox injections. With products like Wheat Protein Enhanced Face Lift Serum, women (and men) can get what they’re looking for. Surgery and Botox outlast these products, but there is no risk like there is with these other methods (as long as people with allergies have gotten the go-ahead to use the products). So how long does it last? Each time you apply the product, it will last about eight hours. Plus, if you’re using other anti-aging products that help erase lines and wrinkles, you’ll start to look better every time you use them. It’s perfect for a date night, party or other social event, your work day, or anytime you want to put your best face forward.
If you’re looking for the best of the best in skin and hair care, you’ll definitely want to try wheat protein-enhanced products. Environmental enthusiasts will appreciate that it is a renewable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly ingredient. Health nuts will appreciate that it comes from a plant that can be safely ingested by humans. Everyone will appreciate the benefits of younger-looking skin and beautiful, soft hair. Remember to check with your allergist and dermatologist before use if you know you are allergic, but if not, give it a try.
