Before you get aggressive laser therapy, stop. Start with your skincare, and look for collagen-boosting products, which are on the rise, even with major skincare brands.
Let’s face it: Collagen reduces the appearance of wrinkles and minimizes sagging. As we get older and produce less collagen, we may turn to collagen supplements to stimulate collagen production, but it can also be applied topically. There are also collagen-boosting skincare products that contain ingredients like vitamin C or retinol, which help stimulate collagen production, as well as peptides.
Collagen as we know it, which is made up of amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, is not just in our bones. It’s a protein that helps give your skin structure and elasticity. Even though there is no scientific evidence to support topical collagen boosting internal collagen production, collagen face creams have grown in popularity in recent years, which aim to help slow down premature aging.
Other brands tuning into collagen bandwagon include the brand Katini Skin’s Collagen Boosting Oil Serum helps brighten the skin and is helpful for those who have dry skin.
