6. Collagen Peptides

Good for Hydrating, firming and plumping

Collagen is a protein that serves as one of the main building blocks for your skin (and bones, hair, muscles, tendons, and ligaments!!) It is what keeps our skin from sagging, giving us that plump, youthful look! This is because it supports the skin by improving skin firmness and strength. It assists with skin elasticity, skin hydration, improves collagen density of the skin and also helps to preserve and protect skin from collagen degradation! Pretty amazing stuff right? The thing is collagen naturally occurs in our bodies, however as we age our natural collagen levels begin to decline and the more collagen we lose, the more fine lines and wrinkles appear so you understand why collagen peptides in skincare is essential!
