When we talk about the skin, composed of its different layers, we like to compare it to a sweater with its beautiful, net-like fibers.
Among these fibers, collagen is the support that, together with elastin, acts as a pillar and support for the structure of our skin.
What is collagen?
Collagen is a large molecule, a triple helix formed by 3 proteins that keep the skin firm, elastic, and resistant.
Skin aging is closely related to collagen. With age, the skin loses elasticity and firmness, becoming fragile and increasingly thin, and the signs of time become more evident. This happens precisely because collagen and elastin fibers tend to decrease physiologically.
External factors such as smog, pollution, and poor diet also negatively contribute to skin aging, being among the main causes of skin volume and turgor loss.
Collagen, along with other substances, is among the useful and functional protagonists in cosmetics to reduce the impact of time and external agents.
Properties and benefits of collagen for facial skin
What properties does collagen have in beauty products? First of all, it stimulates the production of endogenous collagen, thus acting specifically on wrinkles, even the deepest ones, and, above all, it makes the skin elastic, hydrated and consequently luminous. In addition to collagen, other substances collaborate in the same products for the desired result. It is easy to find active ingredients in formulations that stimulate its production, such as vitamin C or peptides.
The advantages of using collagen:
- Reduces expression lines and signs of aging
- Decreases the formation of skin spots
- Strengthens the skin barrier, protecting it from photoaging
- Gives the complexion compactness, radiance, and hydration
These specific products are not seasonal but can be used at any time of the year: in summer to give firmness and radiance to skin stressed by sun and salt, and in winter to strengthen the skin barrier and protect it from cold and wind.
