What is the function of collagen? - the "powerhouse" ingredient in beauty

Currently, Collagen is considered the “secret to staying forever young,” passed down by many women. However, when you discover the truth about this powerful beauty ingredient, you will be surprised! Let’s explore what’s special about this miraculous ingredient with Zencos!

I. THE EFFECTS OF COLLAGEN ON THE SKIN

Collagen has been one of the hottest topics in the beauty community recently, renowned for its miraculous anti-aging effects. While we often hear about the benefits of Collagen, most people are unaware of what it actually does for the skin.

Here are some remarkable effects of Collagen on the skin that you should know:

• Skin Plumping and Wrinkle Reduction: Collagen acts as a skin-plumping agent, addressing various skin issues, especially by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen is considered a key component of connective tissues, helping the skin appear more supple and maintaining its firmness and overall health.
• Scar Healing: Collagen has the ability to heal scars by stimulating the production of new cells. It promotes tissue repair and can even stimulate the production of new cells and tissues.
• Enhancing Youthfulness: Another benefit of Collagen for the skin is its ability to promote a bright and radiant complexion. This essential protein provides elasticity to the skin, making it look more youthful and healthier.

II. COLLAGEN FOR AGING SKIN

As individuals reach their mid-20s, many believe this is the prime age of youth and beauty. However, what they may not know is that signs of aging are beginning to appear. This includes the emergence of issues like age spots, freckles, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, crow’s feet, reduced skin elasticity, and sagging.

Several factors contribute to skin aging, including environmental factors, the effects of aging, hormonal changes, or consequences of low-quality skincare products. Notably, premature aging occurs due to the natural decline in the body’s collagen levels. This process happens through two mechanisms:

Collagen Deficiency: A lack of collagen leads to its structural framework becoming loose, thin, and weak. This results in visible signs on the skin, such as fine lines and loss of firmness.

Collagen Degeneration: This is the process in which collagen gradually ages and degenerates, leading to the appearance of laxity and sagging. During this phase, collagen’s structure becomes compromised, and the skin exhibits signs like the tendency to scar easily, a rough texture, and dryness.

It’s a fact that collagen decreases with age at the following rates:

After age 25: 1.5% less collagen in the skin each year
After age 30: A 15% reduction in skin collagen
After age 40: A 30% reduction in skin collagen
After age 50: A 45% reduction in skin collagen

Particularly noteworthy is the cessation of collagen production entirely by age 45. Therefore, supplementing collagen in your skincare regimen is crucial for skin rejuvenation and recovery.

III. BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENTATION

Collagen accounts for up to 70% of the skin’s structure, serving as the “glue” that connects skin cells. It determines the firmness and elasticity of the skin. As natural collagen production diminishes with age, the skin becomes more susceptible to external factors, such as excessive sun exposure and the effects of blue light. Daily lifestyles that involve unhealthy habits like excessive coffee and alcohol consumption, smoking, and exposure to pollution also contribute to worsening skin conditions.

All the signs of aging mentioned are natural manifestations of skin and body aging as we grow older. Hence, individuals can’t eliminate or prevent these processes from happening, but they can slow them down through proper skincare and care.

Therefore, starting between the ages of 20 and 25 is an ideal time to introduce collagen into your skincare routine to reinforce skin elasticity, moisture, and reduce wrinkles. It also helps prevent aging and maintain healthy, youthful skin.

IV. APPLICATIONS OF COLLAGEN IN COSMETICS

Collagen plays a crucial role in improving skin structure, stimulating skin regeneration, and repairing damaged skin cells. It is utilized in various product lines, including high-end facial creams, hair care products, and body washes.

Collagen is a key ingredient in facial masks combined with other substances such as honey, olive oil, rose essential oil, and more, which effectively moisturize, regenerate tired skin, and protect the skin from external factors like UV rays, pollution, and chemicals, ultimately rejuvenating and revitalizing the skin.

Collagen is also used for treatment and restoration in cases where the skin has been damaged. It aids in skin regeneration after treatments for issues like melasma, acne scars, pockmarks, and stretch marks.
