Collagen – we know it’s an essential skincare ingredient and we’ve been told we should incorporate it into our daily skincare routine, but why? Especially when our bodies naturally produce this power protein! In fact 60% of our skin is essentially collagen! The thing is when we’re young, our skin has plentiful amounts of collagen! However as we age our body’s ability to produce it decreases which is not great news as collagen plays a critical role in maintaining healthy skin, hair, nails and joints! It’s an elixir of youth so to speak! But when it starts to diminish, so does our skin and body’s youthfulness too! Cue wrinkles and sagging skin – eek.

So, instead of watching your skin head south, it’s important to replenish the collagen we’ve lost, with collagen skincare! Keep reading as we count down the many benefits of adding collagen infused skincare into your everyday beauty routine.

1. Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Collagen infused skincare products can help to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Improves skin hydration

One of our skin’s main functions is to serve as a barrier between our bodies and the environment. Collagen has the ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin, which can help to improve skin hydration and keep it looking nourished, plump and youthful.

3. Enhances skin elasticity

Collagen-infused skincare products can help to improve skin elasticity, by increasing skin’s durability, making it more resilient to damage and less prone to sagging and stretching. Think stronger and firmer skin!

4. Brightens the complexion

Collagen can help to promote the growth of new skin cells, leading to a brighter and more even complexion.

5. Reduces hyperpigmentation

Collagen can help to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and age spots, leaving the skin looking more even-toned and radiant.

6. Protects against environmental damage

Collagen-infused skincare products can help to protect the skin against environmental damage caused by factors such as UV rays and pollution, which can contribute to premature aging.

7. Improves skin texture

Just like wrinkles, rough skin can be attributed to damage to the underlying collagen. Collagen peptides can help our body repair and rebuild damaged collagen, leading to a smooth collagen structure that improves the texture of our skin.

8. Fights acne scars

What’s worse than dealing with acne, is having scars that are left behind. Acne scars are actually caused by collagen damage in your skin! Supplementing with collagen skincare can speed up collagen formation in the skin, therefore accelerating tissue repair that will heal your acne scars.

Now we know the benefits, what are the best collagen products to use?

Whole collagen is difficult for the body to digest or absorb, however collagen peptides are significantly more accessible for the body. Collagen peptides, specifically, are made by breaking down collagen into very small pieces. Research has shown that our bodies can absorb collagen peptides of a particularly small size without breaking them down further, and directly use these peptides to build new collagen. Pretty clever hey?

Including the Power Repair Age Correction Hydrating Cleanser, Hydrating Toner, Collagen and Myoxy Caviar Concentrate and Collagen Cream, each product in the collection works together to replenish the skin with lost of collagen, which effectively combating signs of ageing!
