You’ve heard of collagen; but does all the hype surrounding this ingredient really live up to its promise? The short answer: yes. Find out why here.
While ingesting collagen has always been popular, as it’s a well-known protein, skincare companies are now jumping on the bandwagon by infusing their products with the powerful ingredient. So, what are the benefits of collagen?
What Is Collagen?
Collagen is a major protein that is naturally produced in our bodies; it's what gives skin its elasticity and strength. However, as we age collagen production slows down, and our skin’s natural ability to stay plump and supple diminishes, which is one of the reasons wrinkles and fine lines start to develop. External factors, such as sun exposure, smoking and diet can further contribute to collagen loss.
Why Is Collagen Important For Your Skin?
Collagen plays a vital role in the overall health of your skin. From giving your complexion a healthy glow to keeping your skin plump and full, collagen is the answer to retaining your youthful looks. Choosing skincare products infused with collagen will boost your collagen production and help your skin stay firmer and plumper for longer.
Is Collagen in Skincare Effective?
While taking supplements and adjusting your diet is important when it comes to boosting collagen, adding this super ingredient to your skincare regimen is also very effective. Moisturisers or serums with synthetic collagen not only deliver essential proteins needed for skin to stay plump and supple but also add a film-like layer to your skin, which helps to reduce water loss and acts as a barrier from damaging environmental elements.
When Should I Start Incorporating Collagen Into My Skincare Routine?
Experts agree that natural collagen production slows down as early as your mid-twenties (gulp), but at a slow rate to begin with. It’s never too early to start introducing collagen into your skincare routine; your twenties at the earliest, and early thirties at the latest.
What collagen-infused products should I be using?
From night creams to masks, there are various skincare products that you can incorporate into your beauty regimen that will either boost collagen levels in your skin or stimulate natural collagen production.The Night Cream
