Achieve Youthful and Firm Skin with my new Advanced Collagen Facial Treatment, Utilising Natural and Organic Marine Collagen Skincare from Japan and South Korea as well as some helpful tips and lifestyle changes that can help to improve your collagen production, to achieve healthier, firmer and more youthful skin.
Why Have a Collagen Facial?
If you have been lucky enough to be able to head off this year to somewhere hot and sunny, or if you have been enjoying the last of the very late UK summer sunshine, you will know how your skin feels after it has had a bit too much sunshine and the suns rays. You may be feeling that your skin feels dryer, more dehydrated and in need of a moisture hit.
During the summer months, exposure to the sun's rays can result in skin damage, such as hyperpigmentation, dehydration and premature aging. A collagen facial can help to address these concerns and provide hydration and nourishment to the skin, leaving it looking and feeling refreshed, rehydrated and rejuvenated.
Having a Collagen facial after the summer months can be beneficial for the skin for several reasons. The hot and humid weather during the summer can also cause excess sweating, increased oil production, and clogged pores, leading to breakouts and dull skin. A facial can help to deeply cleanse the skin, remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture and tone.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is a big buzzword in the skincare world. Yet despite a huge rise of collagen products in recent years, many people don’t actually know what it is, what it does in the body, or even if it is any good for you.
Does this sound like you?
Read on to learn all you need to know about collagen, including the benefits of collagen for skin and how introducing it to your skincare routines can help reclaim that youthful glow.
Collagen is a powerful protein that is naturally present in our skin, bones, and connective tissues. It is responsible for providing structure and elasticity, to our skin, keeping it firm and plump. As well as improving joint health, and muscle mass.
It is, in fact, our most abundant structural protein making up one-third of the protein in our bodies. What this basically means is it’s the main framework for our cells and tissues, providing structure, strength and support throughout our body – a bit like the glue that holds everything together. As such it plays a key role in many of our major structures, including skin, hair, bones, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, cartilage and connective tissues. Collagen is full of amino acids which are really important for our body to function normally. The right levels of collagen keeps our joints healthy, protects our kidneys, makes sure our cardiovascular system is working as it should be, and helps our blood to clot.
Collagen makes up around 80% of our skin. Together with elastin (another protein) it’s what gives our skin strength and is vital for maintaining elasticity. Largely present in the middle layer of the skin (the dermis), collagen has many benefits for our skin, keeping it firm, plump and supple. It’s also essential in our skin’s natural renewal process, shedding old skin cells and making way for new ones.
Collagen is produced by fibroblast in your cells which is a structural part of your tissue and wound healing. Elastin is a connective tissue of protein that makes the skin flexible and able to bounce back to its shape. Between elastin and collagen fibres —this forms the Collagen-Elastin Network.
Collagen plays a major role in keeping the skin around the face looking young. It provides strength, elasticity and hydration that all make for a visibly youthful complexion.
This helps your skin to look:
1. Dewy and plump
2. Firm and smooth
3. Healthy glow
4. Supple skin that bounces back
5. The delicate eye area looks bright and revitalised
Our collagen levels are highest when we are young, which is why children have such smooth skin.
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. Therefore, it is important to maintain collagen levels through a healthy diet and skincare routine to keep our skin looking youthful and healthy.
Collagen production starts to decline in our mid-20s and continues to decrease as we age and the collagen that remains becomes weaker and less organised, and the loss continues steadily after that. Our collagen levels deplete by about 1% every year. From then on our bodies simply aren’t able to replace the collagen we lose as quickly as it breaks down. By the time we reach our 40s, collagen synthesis slows down significantly. This leads to thinner skin, less firm, and more prone to wrinkles and sagging and joint pain. Collagen breakdown can also be accelerated by factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and a poor diet, excess sugar and stress can accelerate collagen loss. It is important to take care of our skin and overall health to maintain collagen levels as we age.
For our skin, this means we start to lose our youthful radiance and notice the characteristic signs of ageing:
· Dryness
· Papery skin
· Loss of elasticity
· Sagging skin
· Fine lines and wrinkles
The good news is that there are a few ways we can help stimulate the production of collagen in our skin when it slows down – even for mature skin and maintain healthy skin as we age, such as staying hydrated, eating a balanced healthy diet, and using skincare products that contain collagen-boosting ingredients.
“Aside from ageing, the top reason people don’t have enough collagen is poor diet,” “Your body can’t make collagen if it doesn’t have the necessary elements.”
Collagen: More Than Just a Skin Care Solution
Collagen offers more than just benefits for healthy, youthful skin. It also helps with joint pain relief, muscle growth, and digestion support.
It's impossible to stop your skin from aging, but a collagen facial can slow the passage of time for your skin and lessen some of those visible signs. While it gives you a younger-looking appearance, the treatment can also: Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hydrate your skin and make it look plump.
Benefits of Having A Collagen Facial for your Skin:
Here are five key benefits of having a collagen facial:
Collagen can help improve skin texture and make it appear firmer and smoother.
Reduced signs of ageing: Our bodies produce less collagen as we age, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. A collagen facial can help reduce the signs of ageing by boosting collagen production.
Increased hydration: Collagen can help improve skin hydration, making it look plumper and more youthful.
A collagen facial can help improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots, leading to a brighter complexion.
Collagen can help speed up the healing process of damaged skin, such as acne scars or sunburns.
Using top of the range marine collagen that has smaller particles and so can be absorbed quicker than other types of collagen. Marine collagen peptides come from fish, whether it’s wild caught or sustainably raised. The collagen peptides—which are broken down to be absorbed by the body—are sourced from the skin of the fish and used in a wide variety of collagen products, including collagen supplements for wrinkles and our oral supplements for skin health, are designed to boost your skin's collagen levels for optimal skin. Marine collagen is much like the collagen you already have in your body, in that it’s a gelatinous substance that provides elasticity and connects everything together. After it’s sourced from the fish, it’s put through an enzymatic hydrolysis process to turn it into the proper substance that can be used by people like yourself who are looking to add more collagen.
Marine collagen also supports elasticity in your skin. But beyond just helping to smooth out wrinkles, it also adds hydration and makes skin healthier. Studies show that when you use marine collagen it helps bolster the skin by adding moisture and protecting it from free radicals. Free radicals are toxins from the environment that can wreak havoc on your skin. The collagen aids in keeping the skin healthier.
This age control facial deeply rehydrates the skin, removes dead skin cells to help increase new cell turnover and deeply nourishes. It also includes a relaxing massage of the face, neck and shoulders to help stimulate the skin cells and improve elasticity and firmness in the skin. It's one of my most popular facials.
But as well as having my Collagen facial regularly (such as every 3-4 weeks) we also need to be taking good care of our skin and of our health and the lifestyle that we lead.
Below are some helpful tips and advice that can help you to retain your natural and youthful beauty as well as naturally helping to stimulate more collagen in your body and skin.
