Collagen
Collagen is a structural protein that is made up of long chain amino acids. You can think of it as the glue that keeps the body together. Type 7 collagen gives skin firmness and elasticity.
Ultimately, collagen is what keeps our faces looking plump and youthful, but unfortunately, the amount we have starts to decrease as we age. This leads to a gradual loss of elasticity, which in turn makes wrinkles more visible. Collagen can be implemented into skin care products and supplements so help curb this gradual decrease.
Benefits: In skin care, it acts as a film former to moisturize and make the skin look plumper and healthier. That being said, collagen cannot fully penetrate into the dermis or create fibers, so the effect is temporary.
Skin Types: The body naturally produces collagen! All skin types can use it.
