When you talk about collagen, you probably think of tighter skin, but the benefits of collagen are great and go beyond just a youthful appearance. Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and is responsible for youthful and firm skin, strong nails and healthy hair, but collagen also strengthens your bones, joints, tendons, blood vessels and organs.
When we are young, our body produces enough collagen, unfortunately this production already decreases with the age of 25 and from the age of 40 this decrease is even faster. A number of factors also play a major role here, such as your genes, diet, whether you smoke and/or drink, and whether your skin is exposed to the sun a lot.
Collagen powder
Taking collagen is a real trend, because who doesn’t want to look their best. It is one of the essential building blocks in your body that helps strengthen and rebuild your connective tissue. Fortunately, taking collagen is very easy, especially collagen powder is useful. You can easily add this powder to smoothies, tea or yogurt, for example, and you can take it at any time of the day.
How collagen works
Your skin consists of different layers. First you have the epidermis, this is the layer that offers natural protection against UV rays, fungi and bacteria. The next layer is the dermis, this layer contains your connective tissue and this layer ensures the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Our connective tissue consists of 70% collagen. Vitamin C is also very important for the formation of collagen. Vitamin C is responsible for the strength of collagen and its production.
I use collagen daily and that has really made a difference in my skin and hair, collagen from within makes skin firm and supple. For me, it’s the most important step in my skincare routine and I don’t skip a day. Only taking care of your skin on the outside is a shame, the products you apply to your skin need well-constructed skin to give maximum results. Making your skin strong and healthy from within is the most important step to beautiful and healthy skin. What you need is a strong skin barrier that protects against harmful external influences, a skin that can retain moisture and of course a skin that is beautifully full.
