What is Collagen and why we need it ?

As we age we the speed at which our skin produces collagen reduces and we start to lose elasticity in our skin. Collagen is the protein that keeps your skin elastic. When your skin loses it, it starts to sag and wrinkle. You start losing collagen since the age of 21. That is why it is crucial to have a anti-aging skincare routine from an early age to prevent the signs of aging. When it comes to aging prevention is key, as nothing can reverse wrinkles, except off course if you get cosmetic treatments done. So, the ingredients that help us rebuild lost collagen for firmer, younger-looking skin are:

1️⃣ Retinoids
Retinoids are the gold standard for anti aging. They’re forms of vitamin A that treat acne, fade dark spots and reduce premature fine lines and wrinkles.

2️⃣Vitamin C
If you use products with high concentration of Vit C it will increase the anti agiing process and reduce collagen loss.

3️⃣Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid is an exfoliant that removes dead cells and returns the glow back to your skin. However if glycolic acid is used in higher concentration 10% or higher it helps in collagen production. For this you need to go to a professional for a chemical peel.
