MSM is a naturally occurring chemical compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen atoms, which together make up part of a class of chemicals known as “organosulfides.” MSM is naturally produced in the human body. MSM plays a role in treating dozens of health issues including joint pain, inflammation, and skin damage. MSM plays a major part in the body’s ability to produce collagen. As an essential ingredient in tissue to hold the human body together, collagen provides structural support and impacts the flexibility and resilience of skin. The human body produces collagen naturally, but this production tends to decline in adulthood, starting in the 20s and 30s. That’s why skin naturally starts to sag and wrinkle the older we get. But with a collagen boost from regular MSM use, you could very well retain your youthful resilience.
As a suitable treatment for a variety of skin conditions that cause reddened, swollen skin, MSM can be applied to the skin to reduce puffiness, discoloration and swelling. Most acne treatments address clogged pores with harsh chemicals, but MSM offers a gentler way to treat inflammation associated with acne. When used in conjunction with proper cleansing, gentle exfoliation and regular moisturizing, topical MSM can have a dramatic, positive effect on the smoothness of the skin. Smoother, tighter skin with less puffiness and fewer wrinkles make skin appear younger without the need for potentially dangerous, invasive treatments.
