The secret to youthful skin: how to boost your 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.

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.
