Silicon is a trace element that is found in the body as well as in certain foods of plant origin. On the health side, it strengthens the immune system and helps maintain good bone health. But it is also a popular asset in cosmetics.
How silicon makes beautiful
Before acting on beauty, silicon is a trace element essential to our body as it stimulates the constitution of collagen fibers that maintain so-called 'support' tissues and present throughout the body (muscles, bones , skin ...) and it moisturizes. The problem is that over the years, the amount of silicon present in the body decreases, thus contributing to tissue aging. Used in beauty treatments, silicon can also act on cell renewal and protect the skin against oxidation making it a popular active in anti-aging care . Also present in keratin, it acts to strengthen the nails and fight against hair loss .
You can find silicon in foods such as bran, whole wheat, barley, oats, spelled, wholemeal bread, white beans, lentils ... but to make a real cure for deep tissue reinforcement, nothing beats cosmetics!
