1 Improves skin firmness and elasticity
As our hormones fluctuate in midlife our skin can start to lose its firmness and elasticity. This is largely due to a drop in collagen production. Collagen is the protein responsible for skin’s elasticity and firmness – think of it like skin’s structural support system. Loss of collagen can lead to skin that is less firm and tight particularly around the jawline, cheeks, and neck. Collagen-boosting skincare products can help stimulate the production of new collagen fibres, which can plump and form skin. Ingredients like peptides and retinoids are particularly effective for this.
2 Boosts Hydration and Moisture Retention
Hormonal changes during menopause often lead to drier skin, making it appear dull and lacklustre. Collagen plays a key role in keeping skin hydrated. As collagen declines our skin loses its ability to hold onto moisture. Collagen-boosting skincare products often contain hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which not only promote collagen production but also help the skin retain moisture. This keeps your skin hydrated, plump, and radiant.
3 Improve Skin Tone and Texture
Uneven skin tone and texture are common skin concerns in midlife. Reduced collagen levels can make this worse. Collagen-boosting skincare can help improve overall skin tone and texture by promoting cell turnover and collagen renewal. Ingredients such as niacinamide and retinol are particularly beneficial for achieving smoother, more even skin.
4 Support A Healthy Skin Barrier
In midlife, our skin's ability to heal and repair itself diminishes, making it more prone to environmental damage and slower to recover. That’s because our skin barrier starts to weaken making skin more prone to inflammation, irritation and damage. Collagen is integral to the skin's repair processes. Using collagen-boosting skincare products can enhance your skin’s ability to heal and regenerate, which is especially important for addressing sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
5 Increase cell turnover
Skin cells go through a cellular renewal process. In our, 20s cellular renewal takes 28 days but by the time we are in our 40s this slows down to 45 days and in our 50s skin cells can take over 50+ days to renew. This can lead to the appearance of fine lines and a dull, dry complexion. Collagen is crucial for maintaining smooth, resilient skin and can speed up the cellular renewal process. Look for products containing retinol, peptides and resveratrol which are known to enhance collagen production and improve skin texture.
