The secret to youthful skin: how to boost your collagen

What is collagen?

Collagen is a protein naturally present throughout our body, responsible for the elasticity and regeneration of our skin tissues. Starting from the age of 25, its concentration decreases, leading to the appearance of the first signs of skin ageing: a dull complexion, more pronounced features, localised wrinkles or fine lines, and slower skin recovery.

Traditionally reserved for aesthetic medicine, collagen has been a star ingredient for several years, thanks to its anti-ageing properties and its ability to slow down the skin ageing process. It is frequently found in creams or in the form of marine collagen supplements, which help stimulate its natural production from within. The benefits of this protein are numerous, for both the skin and the body, and even the hair.

What are the benefits of collagen for the skin?

Marine collagen supplements work by strengthening the skin’s structure from within, helping to support hydration, elasticity, and a radiant complexion. But the benefits of collagen extend far beyond the skin, supporting the body, joints, bones, hair, and nails as well.

Skin benefits:

It improves skin elasticity for a plumping effect
It reduces signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines
It reduces blemishes

Body benefits:

It reduces joint pain
It strengthens nails, preventing splitting
It enhances hair health and boosts shine

Collagen for the skin at Oh My Cream

At Oh My Cream, we don't promote anti-ageing or anti-wrinkle solutions at all costs. Instead, our philosophy is rather to support the skin with targeted care to age beautifully. That's why we carefully select collagen-based products whose effectiveness we trust. It's also important to mention collagen should ideally be consumed together with vitamin C, which helps the body absorb it more effectively.

The best-in-class marine collagen beauty supplement

Forget everything you thought you knew about marine collagen. Combeau’s effective Universal Collagen ticks every box:

A formula made with di- and tri-peptide biomimetic collagen powder, selected for its high absorption and solubility, with clinically proven efficacy from just 2.5g (compared with 10g for many supplements on the market).
A molecular weight below 2000 daltons, key for optimal digestive absorption.
Friend of the Sea certified, guaranteeing the complete absence of heavy metals.
A neutral taste and smell, allowing it to blend easily into any drink or food.

A little shout out for its stick format, perfect for slipping into your handbag and taking at any time of day!

A fan of matcha? Discover the Matcha Collagen version: the same formula, the same format and the same benefits, enriched with organic Japanese matcha green tea, known for its powerful antioxidant and energising properties – creating a delicious and comforting drink.

A pro tip? Take it alongside Combeau’s L’Essentiel Peau to help protect the body’s natural collagen reserves, stimulate collagen formation, and reduce damage caused by free radicals. Comprehensive anti-ageing action, that targets the root causes of skin ageing!

The ultimate LED mask

This is the best-selling LED mask on our shelves, with 300 red and 300 near-infrared LEDs – twice as many as the brand’s previous model – and a unique close-fitting shape designed to target the lips, eye area, facial contours and neck. Nooance’s Elite x 600 LED Mask fuses with the skin to support collagen production and promote cellular renewal, helping address: elasticity, firmness, redness, fine lines and wrinkles, hydration, radiance, dark spots and blemishes.

The Expert Pro-Collagen Routine

If you’re already familiar with Dermalogica’s Pro-Collagen Banking Serum – the powerful serum that helps preserve and stimulate the skin’s natural collagen reserves, then you won’t want to miss Dermalogica’s newly unveiled gel-cream version: the Pro-Collagen Banking Water Cream. Awash with active ingredients (Peptides derived from Collagen Amino Acids, Marine Spring Water and Red Algae) this new multi-action innovation hydrates, helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and combats oxidative stress.

The game-changing firming massage

The face alone has 43 muscles, which contract and relax. By adopting the right gestures, you can work and relax the muscles, stimulating the entire blood and lymphatic network to activate the production of collagen and elastin, which is essential for plumped skin. While self-massage in front of the mirror can boost your skincare's effectiveness, you can also opt for a Plumping Facial – one of our in-store beauty treatments that offers a moment of pure relaxation. This treatment incorporates Kobido massage techniques (right from the double cleansing stage) to relax facial features, restore radiance, and help smooth and plump the skin.

At what age should I start taking collagen?

The natural production of collagen starts to decline progressively from around age 25-30, and then increases from age 45 onwards, when up to 30% of collagen is lost each year. Collagen supplementation is therefore recommended from the age of 30 to prevent signs of ageing, maintain the skin's hydration and radiance, and protect the skin from the effects of stress, pollution and external aggressors. From the age of 40, marine collagen-based supplements help to repair and revitalise skin and joint structures, in turn helping restore skin firmness and elasticity. From age 50 onwards, collagen becomes essential for supporting muscle and bone health (alleviating related signs of skin ageing), maintaining healthy joints, improving joint flexibility and helping reduce joint pain.
