WHY IS COLLAGEN SO IMPORTANT
Collagen; Natures Structural Foundation plays a crucial role in skincare for several reasons:
STRUCTURAL SUPPORT: Collagen is a primary structural protein in the skin, providing strength and elasticity. As we age, our collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
HYDRATION: Collagen also helps maintain skin hydration by retaining moisture. By keeping our skin well-hydrated it appears plumper and more youthful.
WOUND HEALING: Collagen is essential for our skins wound healing process as it aids in tissue repair and regeneration.
ELASTICITY: Collagen fibres gives our skin its firmness and elasticity. Reduced collagen levels can result in less resilient skin.
SMOOTH TEXTURE: High levels of collagen, natures structural foundation help maintain smooth skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone.
SUPPORTING COLLAGEN
Collagen can be supported in skincare through application to the skin, dietary supplements, and lifestyle choices that protect and boost collagen production. In this Article we will explore ways in which we can support collagen and stimulate its growth.
Topical Treatments:
COLLAGEN-INFUSED PRODUCTS: You should consider using creams, serums, and masks containing hydrolysed collagen, peptides, and other collagen-boosting ingredients.
RETINOIDS: Retinoid creams (like retinol) also stimulate collagen production by promoting cell turnover.
HYALURONIC ACID: Look for products containing Hyaluronic Acid to directly hydrate the skin. These products can be used daily and are effective in creating a hydrated environment conducive to collagen production.
PEPTIDES: Peptides can stimulate the production of collagen and help strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.
VITAMIN C: Topical vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that enhances collagen synthesis and protects existing collagen from damage.
LAYERING WITH COLLAGEN-BOOSTING INGREDIENTS: Combine HA with other collagen-stimulating ingredients like Peptides and retinoids for enhanced effects.
Lifestyle Changes:
SUN PROTECTION: Use sunscreen to protect against UV rays, which degrade collagen fibres.
HYDRATION: Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated and support collagen structure.
HEALTHY DIET: Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, to combat free radicals that damage collagen.
AVOID SMOKING AND EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL: These can accelerate collagen breakdown and impede its synthesis.
Implementing these strategies can help boost collagen levels, leading to healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic acid (HA) and Collagen; Natures Structural Foundation are both vital for maintaining healthy, youthful skin, and they have a synergistic relationship. HA can play a critical role;
- Supports the skin’s natural collagen by supporting environment where collagen can thrive
- Protects collagen from environmental damage and dehydration
- Promotes fibroblast activity, responsible for producing collagen
- Creates hydrated environment conducive to collagen production
BIOACTIVE GLASS ROLE IN COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
Visible Youth™ is the first skincare line to make cosmetic use of Bioglass, a unique regenerating biomaterial. Also known as bioactive glass, it has been shown to have beneficial effects on collagen synthesis and skin health;
- Stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen in the skin
- Promotes the release of growth factors that encourage fibroblast activity and collagen production
- Releases calcium and silicon ions. These ions are crucial for cellular functions, including the synthesis of collagen
- Accelerate wound healing by promoting the formation of new tissue, including collagen-rich extracellular matrix
