Collagen & Skin Health

Collagen is a protein that your body produces to support the skin’s structure and keep it firm and elastic. Since collagen production decreases fairly rapidly as we age, our skin ultimately starts to sag.

But there are things you can do to protect the collagen you already have, and encourage the body to produce more of it. One of the most important steps is to apply sunscreen with a high SPF every single day. Another option is to consume collagen which brings us to bone broth.

Another way to boost collagen production is with the right beauty product. Collagen skincare products fall into two categories. There are products that contain collagen, and others that help boost collagen production. Skincare products that contain collagen are generally packed with marine collagen or hydrolyzed collagen, and they are thought to help minimize the look of wrinkles. Products formulated to help protect collagen often contain hyaluronic acid as well as vitamin C.

Increasing the levels of collagen in the skin results in numerous benefits, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, firming skin, and promoting a more plump complexion.

*Please note, that in order for collagen to work, it needs to be absorbed into the deeper layers of skin (the dermis). This is why it’s important to look for products that contain hydrolyzed collagen or collagen amino acids.

As you can see, collagen is vital for maintaining healthy, youthful skin. Fortunately, there are many Korean topical collagen skin care products available today:
