Among the thousands of promised cures are 2 scientifically-backed ingredients known as collagen (which you can find in things like jelly and the Asian dish, agar agar) and elastin. If you aren’t into eating collagen, steaming can be a great alternative. Doing this to your face gives a rush to your circulation, thus boosting collagen and elastin production, giving you elasticized skin and delaying the appearance of wrinkles.
