Topical Collagen: The Must-Have Ingredient For Your Skin
As far as skincare buzzwords go, collagen is the hottest of the hot. But what, exactly, is collagen, and how does it work its magic on our skin? Let's bust out some facts on topical collagen (what it is, how it works, how it helps, etc)!
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a structural protein that provides building block to the skin, bones, and connective tissues. It’s like the scaffolding that holds everything together, giving our skin strength and elasticity. As we grow older, collagen production decreases in our bodies, contributing to sagging skin along with fine lines and wrinkles. Pregnancy accelerates the decrease in collagen production as well. The decrease of collagen production is also accelerated by factors like sun exposure, stress and poor diet, leaving our skin demanding us for a little more love and care.
The Savior: Topical Collagen
Now, let’s discuss topical collagen. You may be thinking, “Does slathering collagen on my face actually do anything?” The answer is a bit nuanced—it depends on the molecule size of the collagen product you're using. Many collagen products won't work because the molecule size of their collagen wouldn't be small enough to penetrate through the skin cells to be effective. So you need to look for collagen skincare products that have effective enough molecule size to see the results of using collagen on your skin.
Firmness and Elasticity: Using topical collagen skincare products can really help your skin improve its collagen production, aiding with firming your skin and enhancing the elasticity of your skin. It is a fundamental keystone to anti-aging, as the decrease in collagen production is literally the reason for our skin aging. Many topical products also contain peptides and other ingredients that help to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production. This implies with time, your skin can be firmer, more elastic and the signs of aging can diminish.
Hydration Improvement: Topical collagen also helps in hydrating the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It locks in moisture and helps give your skin that good, plump dewiness that we all crave.
Moisture Magnet: Collagen pulls in and hold onto moisture. What this means is that the products you apply to your skin that are infused with this collagen aren’t just moisturizing your skin; rather, they’re boosting its ability to retain that moisture over time.
The Science Behind the Glow
So, how does this all work? Collagen ampoules that have small enough particles that can penetrate the superficial layers of your skin, giving it moisture and a plumping effect. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, collagen helps retain moisture for longer, protecting your skin against wrinkles due to dryness.
Additionally, the peptides in collagen products can signal your skin to produce more of its own collagen. This is where the magic happens for real! By coaxing your skin to ramp up its production of collagen, you’re laying the groundwork for longer-term improvements in elasticity and firmness.
