If skincare or anti-aging are on your radar, you’ve probably seen collagen products all over the market in the last couple of years. Heck, even if you’re not searching for those things, you’ve still probably seen collagen products somewhere along the line. But what really is all the hype about collagen? What does it even do for you?
Well, let’s break it down in simple terms.
Collagen is the building block for strong nails and skin elasticity. As we age, we naturally lose it. Skin elasticity is simply the skin’s ability to stretch and snap back into its original shape. Think of when you rub the skin around your eyes; if you have less collagen in your body, the skin probably remains where you moved it because it’s looser and less elastic.
Now, let’s be clear: aging is a beautiful thing! The beauty industry can often make us think that signs of growth and age are the enemy. We don’t think that’s true. But hey, stretchier and tighter skin does sound pretty nice, right?
That’s where collagen comes into the picture. As we age, our bodies start to lose their store of a lot of things, like calcium for example. Calcium even gets harder to absorb when we’re older. So what do we do about this? Well, we do what we can to get extra calcium, usually through diet and supplements. Why not do the same with collagen?
We think that taking a collagen supplement is the EASIEST way to improve the appearance of your skin. It’s easy, safe and completely non-invasive. Best of all, it’s not about adjusting the way you look to fit beauty standards, it’s just about restoring a little bit of the youthful glow and elasticity your skin once naturally had, all in a natural way.
