Collagen peptides are an effective anti-aging skincare ingredient suitable for all skin types, and plays a vital role in skin health.
Read on to discover how collagen benefits the skin, and how to add collagen into your daily skincare routine with ELEMIS’ Pro-Collagen collection.
What Is Collagen?
Also known as collagen peptides, collagen is a protein that serves as a building block to form connective tissue throughout the skin and body. Naturally found within the skin, collagen acts as the foundation responsible for skin’s texture, tone and elasticity.
However, with age, the production depletes, with 1% of the skin’s collagen lost every year after the age of 30. This contributes to a lack of firmness, deeper fine lines, and a less plump appearance.
Benefits Of Collagen For Skin
Smooths lines and wrinkles
Peptides in skincare help to stimulate the skin to produce more collagen, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Increase skins firmness
Collagen peptides help the skin to feel strengthened, for a tauter and more elastic appearance.
Decrease skin inflammation
Due to collagen’s content of proline and glycerin, collagen has anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce inflammation of the skin.
How To Add Collagen Into Your Skincare Routine
As we age, our skin begins to lose the solid architecture of its youth and becomes more easily dehydrated, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Created with this in mind, ELEMIS’ Pro-Collagen collection harnesses ultra-hydrating powers to leaves the complexion more youthful-looking than ever.
