The importance of collagen for your skin
Collagen supplements and collagen-infused beauty products have become popular of late for their skin and health benefits.
Its anti-ageing properties are most commonly known, but this protein has many more benefits in store. Read on to find out why collagen is so important for healthy, youthful-looking skin!
What is collagen?
We often think of collagen as a gelatinous substance, but collagen is actually a protein- one that is produced naturally in our body. It is the most abundant protein in your body and makes up about 1/3 of all the protein in our body!
So what is its purpose? Collagen works like a ‘building block’ to build up and provide structure to our bones, and even soft tissue like skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is even present in our teeth!
Although we produce this naturally, as we age, the quality of collagen produced degrades as well. This is why many people consume collagen supplements for better skin, building up muscle mass, and strengthening their bones and joints.
How does collagen benefit our skin?
- smooths wrinkles & boosts skin elasticity
- helps maintain skin barrier
- boosts skin hydration
- improves skin appearance & texture
Collagen provides structure to our skin and keeps our skin looking youthful and plump. As collagen levels in our skin decrease, we will experience signs of ageing like wrinkling, age spots, dull & sagging skin.
Improving collagen production
- Consuming more foods that aid in collagen production, especially ones with high levels of amino acids and Vitamin C
- Avoiding foods that are high in sugar/ refined carbs
- Applying sun protection daily. UV damage reduces collagen production
- Avoid smoking and drinking
- Staying hydrated
- Starting on an anti-ageing skincare routine early
