Collagen is a super protein composed of amino acids essential for the skin. It is in particular what gives the skin its firmness and elasticity. Naturally produced by the body, its production unfortunately decreases with age (from the age of 25). But don't panic, it is possible to stimulate your production manually and orally for example, follow the guide!
Our 3 tips to stimulate your collagen production
Massage your face every day
I promise, a few minutes are enough! The goal is not to extend your routine but rather to integrate a new habit which, in a few minutes a day, can have both immediate and lasting effects. By massaging your face, you stimulate your fibroblasts; super cells that produce collagen fibers and elastin. You therefore stimulate the production of collagen in a natural way. And on top of that, you boost the cellular regeneration of your skin. The result: plumper, plumper skin, smoother features and a brighter complexion. If you don't know where to start and how to learn the basic self-massage gestures, we have created a 100% digital program to learn how to massage your face in 21 days.
Use active ingredients like Vitamin C
Look for active ingredients that improve collagen synthesis; Vitamin C is an example. A lot of research has been carried out on this duo which works in perfect synergy. How does it work ? Vitamin C is a nutrient that can help stimulate collagen production – that is, it is a collagen builder for your skin. We therefore advise you to add a few drops of a Vitamin C booster to your cream in order to boost your collagen.
Protect skin from sun damage
It is often said that prevention is better than cure; This is the case for your collagen. Before stimulating its production, we must above all protect it! And more particularly protect it from the sun. Indeed, sun damage can damage collagen, because of the oxidative stress it causes. Prolonged prolonged exposure to UV, and particularly UVA, increases free radicals, thus causing degradation of certain cellular proteins (such as collagen). It is therefore important to protect yourself all year round with sun protection, preferably SPF50+.
It is important to note that the production of collagen is a process that takes time, so be patient, but with these few tips you will already see a difference in your skin!
