Everything you need to know about the (amazing) benefits of collagen

As a star ingredient of recent years, collagen is known for its multiple benefits on the skin. But do you really know what it is? We’re shedding light on marine collagen therapy and treatments that will transform your routine...

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 the star ingredient for its anti-ageing properties and its ability to slow down the skin ageing process, for several years. It is frequently found in creams or in the form of marine collagen products, which help stimulate its natural production. The benefits of this protein are numerous, both for the skin and the body, as well as for hair.

What are the benefits of collagen for the skin?

On the skin

  • It improves skin’s elasticity for a plumping effect.

  • It reduces signs of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines. 

  • It reduces blemishes. 

 

On the body 

  • It reduces joint pain.

  • It strengthens nails, preventing splitting.

  • It enhances hair health for a shiny and healthy mane.

At what age should I start taking collagen? 

The natural production of collagen starts to decline progressively from the age of 25-30, and then increases from the age of 45 onwards, when up to 30% of collagen is lost each year. Collagen supplementation is therefore recommended from the age of 30 to prevent the signs of ageing, maintain the skin's hydration and radiance, and protect it from the effects of stress, pollution and external aggression. From the age of 40, a marine collagen-based treatment will target the repair and revitalisation of skin and joint structures, restoring the skin's firmness and elasticity, rather than simply preventing them. From the age of 50 onwards, collagen becomes essential for alleviating the muscular and bone symptoms that add to the signs of skin ageing, maintaining healthy joints, improving their flexibility and reducing the pain associated with joint disorders. 

Anti-ageing at Oh My Cream

At Oh My Cream, we don't advocate anti-ageing or anti-wrinkle solutions at any cost. Instead, our idea is to support the skin with specific treatments to age well and healthy. Therefore, we are dedicated to offering you collagen-based products that we are certain of their effectiveness. It's important to mention that it is recommended to consume collagen in conjunction with vitamin C, which enhances its absorption by the body.

Adopting the right gestures

This treatment incorporates Kobido massage techniques right from the double cleansing to relax the features and restore a radiant complexion and smooth, plumped skin.
