GLOW GOODIES - Collagen Gummies

Collagen improves the appearance of the skin through improved hydration, enhanced skin texture, thorough cell renewal and increased blood flow.

Collagen fibers work in conjunction with elastin, another protein in the skin, to provide elasticity. This allows the skin to stretch and return to its original shape, which is crucial for maintaining a youthful and resilient appearance.

Collagen helps the skin retain moisture by binding with water molecules. Well-hydrated skin appears more plump, smooth, and radiant. Hydration is essential for a healthy glow as it prevents dryness and dullness.

As we age, the body’s ability to produce collagen decreases. This decline starts in our mid-20s and continues progressively. Factors such as UV radiation, smoking, and poor nutrition can accelerate collagen breakdown. Reduced collagen levels lead to a loss of skin firmness and elasticity, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin, and a thinner dermis.

Collagen plays a key role in wound healing. It helps to form new tissue by acting as a scaffold for new cells and by promoting the growth of new blood vessels. This accelerates the healing process and aids in the repair of damaged skin.

Better hydration and healthier skin improve texture and feel of the skin.

Collagen strengthens the skin's barrier, making it more effective at protecting against environmental aggressors such as UV radiation, pollution, and toxins. A strong skin barrier reduces the penetration of these harmful elements, thereby minimizing oxidative stress on the skin cells.

Healthy, collagen-rich skin is more resilient and better able to cope with environmental stressors. This overall improvement in skin health indirectly enhances the skin's ability to counteract oxidative damage.
