The Importance of Collagen For Your Skin

Collagen, one of the hottest terms in skincare at the moment, and for good reason! You’ll see it as a supplement, in skincare products and is even added to some water brands. 

So, what exactly is it? When it comes to proteins in your body, it’s the most abundant and it does wonders for your skin, hair, nails, bones and more. The reason it’s essential to your body is because it acts as a sort of glue that holds everything together in place. That’s why it’s such an important protein to have in your body, and why it’s a huge part of skincare thanks to its anti-aging benefits.

When it comes to collagen, there’s a few ways it benefits your skin in particular, and we’re about to cover a few of the biggest ones.

Improves Elasticity & Appearance of Wrinkles

Let’s start with the anti-aging benefits that collagen brings. First and foremost, collagen keeps your skin youthful since, like we mentioned, it is that glue that keeps everything nice and tight. However, as we age, that natural collagen production declines and that’s a reason why we start seeing our skin wrinkle. 

By using skincare products that promote a collagen boost, you’re feeding your skin what it’s starting to naturally lack but needs to stay youthful. By boosting collagen production, you’ll see your skin starting to transform into that younger state. 

Using something like Dr. Kaplan’s Diamond Contour Collagen Boosting Hydration Créme in your daily routine allows you to fight aging by giving your skin the natural ingredients it needs to repair and tighten wrinkles. 

Greater Hydration

Skin hydration, no matter what time of the year, is essential. From anti-aging benefits to general skin health, it’s not something you want to ignore in your routine. Luckily, collagen helps with hydration too!

Using a collagen cream always has moisturizing benefits as they focus on hydrating at a surface level and deep into the skin. This is yet another way collagen can assist with making your skin look healthier and more supple. 

When your skin is hydrated, it can have those anti-aging benefits but it also strengthens your skin. In the Diamond Contour Collagen Boosting Hydration Créme, you’ll actually find 5 different moisturizing factors to feed this hydration even further. 

They are:

• Safflower Oleosomes
• Jojoba Esters
• Olive Squalane
• Seaweed
• Hyaluronic Acid

Strengthens Skin

Collagen not only helps with skin elasticity and hydration, but works to strengthen your skin too. You may think this ties into improving elasticity, and it does, but it also refers to strengthening your skin’s barrier. This makes skin feel more healthy, smooth, soft and fresh. 

Wondering how you can tell if you have strong skin? You’ll know if it doesn’t feel dry or too tight. You may even notice that after you apply moisturizer, your skin is more red than normal if your skin barrier is weakening.

How does collagen help out? The reason for this is because it keeps those youthful pieces of “glue” in your skin as you age. Plus, since collagen products stimulate all that production, you’ll see your skin strengthening at a faster rate. Collagen helps your skin regain strength and stay there!

Wondering where to start with a collagen product for your skin? Our brand new Diamond Contour Collagen Boosting Hydration Créme is the perfect, luxurious starter to start seeing these results.
