Collagen is super important for beautiful skin, especially for slightly more mature skin. It provides firmness and helps combat skin aging. It's no wonder that collagen powders and jars are everywhere. Today, we’ll tell you all about this natural product.
What is collagen?
The word is derived from the Greek ‘Kollagen’. Kolla = glue, gen = something that produces. In other words, collagen produces a ‘glue’ that keeps the skin tight and supple. Collagen is a protein that our body also produces, but the production decreases over time. And that's exactly when your skin starts to age. Besides contributing positively to the skin, collagen is also good for gut health, metabolism, and for hair, teeth, and nails. So, it's always a good idea to apply extra collagen. Prevention is better than cure, right?
How to maintain collagen in the skin
There are many ways to keep your collagen levels up or even increase them. You can do a lot from the inside out without immediately applying creams. Or even better: avoid certain things. Did you know that consuming (fast) sugars can lead to wrinkles? Smoking is also detrimental to your collagen supply. Another reason to avoid it :-). Don't forget to always apply SPF, as the sun is not a good friend of this protein either. It's the little tricks that make the difference.
Collagen in food
In addition to jars and facial creams filled with collagen, you can also supplement this protein from the inside with the right foods. Tropical fruits, chicken, garlic, and eggs are real collagen boosters. Additionally, eating enough vitamin C promotes collagen production. Vitamin C is an antioxidant (and helps keep the skin firm). (We've previously discussed the importance of vitamin C.) So always include enough vitamin C and proteins in your diet, and you'll ultimately produce more collagen and keep your skin glowing longer.
Facial cream with collagen
There are various facial creams on the market that can supplement collagen, but we are the biggest fans of the ampoules from LaCabine. Why? Because these ampoules contain no other ingredients that diminish the effectiveness of collagen. They are super concentrated and therefore work optimally on the skin. Moreover, they are sealed in an ampoule. An ampoule is a small glass container that ensures the contents are not affected by air or bacteria. With LaCabine's ampoules, you’ll see results super quickly!
You see, it's beneficial for everyone to add collagen to their daily routine. Want to know more about collagen? Ask your questions below!
