Collagen - A Beauty Booster that Your Skin Craves

Collagen, collagen, the fountain of everlasting youth. You have probably stumbled across this ingredient especially if you’ve searched for anti aging or repairing skincare products. The word collagen is derived from the Greek word ‘kolla’ which means glue. Collagen is a vital protein naturally found in the human body, providing strength and structure of our bones, skin, muscles and other tissues. As the skin goes through ageing process, it naturally loses about 1% of collagen each year and this usually starts to occur when we are in our twenties. Other factors contributing to collagen loss include poor diet, smoking and constant exposure to UV. Therefore, incorporating anti-aging skincare products such as those that include collagen is a must in order to maintain your skin’s elasticity, firmness and youthfulness.

Collagen works by increasing skin cell turnover and rebuilding damaged skin tissue which gives the appearance of plumper, bouncy and firm skin. However, it’s not just any type of collagen that you can apply on your face and wait for the magic to do its work. Pure collagen’s structure is similar to a braid or rope and it has molecules that are fairly large to penetrate the skin quickly. To get around this issue, most skincare products use hydrolyzed collagen or known as collagen peptides that can penetrate deep into the skin well to form building blocks to repair your skin and also make new collagen.

Who’s keen to incorporate collagen into their skincare routine? We have selected our most popular collagen products, as well as those that stimulate collagen production naturally for you to try.
