Collagen and Skin
11.28.2019Daily marine collagen supports skin health by providing essential amino acids that improve hydration, firmness, and elasticity, repair damage from sun or irritants, and slow visible signs of aging for smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin.
Skin is our first defence, our front line and our biggest organ. Keeping it in tip top shape is so important to prevent bad guys like irritants, bacteria or harmful UV rays from damaging and drying it out. Marine collagen keeps skin smooth, firm and full of moisture to amplify your natural, beaming beauty. Collagen is to skin what Beyoncé is to Destiny's child... Vital!
Collagen is a combination of amino acids made naturally in the body when we eat enough protein. It’s essential, it’s natural and it makes up a very large portion of skin cells. Unfortunately, as we get older we don’t produce as much collagen, which can dry out the skin and speed up the appearance of aging (sometimes faster than we would like). Collagen also can’t be stored in the body so daily replenishment is a must!
The real magic of collagen supplementation shows when it comes to healing wounds. When skin is damaged by the sun, acne breakouts, dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, or just general moisture loss, collagen tells the immune system to form brand new skin in that area, repairing any damage...Magic! New cells mean a tighter barrier, which means less water loss and less itchy, dry skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does collagen benefit the skin?
Collagen helps keep skin smooth, firm, and hydrated. It supports elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and dryness, promoting a youthful glow.
Why does collagen production decrease with age?
As we age, starting from our mid-twenties our natural collagen production slows down. This leads to thinner, drier skin and visible signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging.
Can collagen help heal skin conditions like acne, eczema or sun damage?
Yes. Collagen supports the skin's healing process by stimulating the formation of new skin cells, which can help repair damage from acne, eczema, sun exposure, and dryness.
Why is marine collagen recommended for skin health?
Marine collagen is highly bioavailable, meaning it's easier for your body to absorb. It’s rich in Type I collagen, the type most abundant in your skin.
