Studies have proven that copper is essential for collagen and elastin in the skin. And it is also important to tissue building processes.
Why is Copper Important for Healthy Skin?
As we age, our skin thins and lines and wrinkles develop as our bodies become slower to produce collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans. Age spots appear and skin becomes dull and lifeless as cell renewal slows and the skin's ability to retain moisture is diminished.
