Collagen Peptide for skin: 6 Reasons to add it to your skincare routine

While the modern-day women have transitioned into multiple roles in today’s society, they are also destined to look and put their best foot forward at all times and feel comfortable on their own. Skincare has now become more than just a routine in everyday life. As we live in a world full of trends, skincare routines have been changing like social media hashtags one after the other, enabling skincare enthusiasts to try and find the perfect balance for their skin. However, today we want to look at ingredients and methods that leverage our natural skin elements and lifestyle together. Whether it’s a busy day at work, exercising, running errands or hanging out with friends and family with the occasional late night, our skin changes. By the afternoon and even more so at the end of the day, our skin may be totally stressed out. It may have become dry and may have lost its plumpness. Studies show that these changes from morning to night can actually result in skin aging up to 8 years in a day, attributed to the natural circadian rhythm, internal and external skin stressors.

Hydrated skin that looks plump and bouncy not just in the morning but remains so throughout the day is a goal we all wish to achieve. While we try to stick with healthy foods and nutrition for a healthy body, essential ingredients that are food for your skin are a must. And what better ingredient than the ultimate skin building blocks called “Collagen” for a plump, bouncy and natural looking younger skin. Let’s look at 6 reasons to add Collagen Peptide to your skincare routine, courtesy Dr. Geetika Mittal, Skin Expert, Olay India

Preserving the Morning Skin!

Studies have shown that our morning skin has a natural plump and bounce that makes it healthier in comparison to the whole day ahead. While we hustle throughout the hectic day, it loses its bounciness and looks dull from the stress, pollution, UV rays. Collagen acts as the perfect food for our skin to make sure we preserve our morning plump and bouncy skin and helps us work round the clock without compromising on the health of our skin.

The Go-To Anti-Ageing Element

While we keep taking up new challenges every day, our skin is exposed to external factors like pollution, dust and many more that cause aging of the skin considerably. Collagen decreases by 1% every year, so we should ideally start taking care of our skin by the age of 20. This is also accelerated by exposure to free radicals, including UV rays, pollution, smoking, poor diet (high sugar), etc. To avoid such issues that can be long-lasting in the near future, we should use collagen for our skin to help revive the natural collagen that is otherwise lost in the ageing process. This makes it a go-to anti-ageing skincare essential to help us preserve the natural health of our skin on a daily basis.

Unique Technology – Driven Products

Collagen products help in stimulating natural collagen production in our skin and body as it works like naturally occurring collagen. It also helps in better skin penetration using Bio-available Technology with much shorter chains of amino acids. You should look up for products that offer the right mix of Collagen Peptide (Pal-KTTKS) that helps the skin look firmer, Vitamin B3 that helps the skin retain moisture, stay hydrated and also help with surface cell regeneration along with Glycerin that helps the skin attract and retain moisture so it can stay firm and hydrated all day long.

A More Plump and Bouncy Skin

Collagen is actually a set of skin building blocks that help in replacing and restoring dead skin cells. Hence, it is a must-have ingredient in our skincare routine that will help you not only preserve the morning skin and work as an anti-ageing element but also give you a plump, bouncy and healthy skin that feels natural. It makes sure we feel comfortable in our skin without a compromise on our daily schedules.

Protection against Harmful Stressors

Our skin tends to fluctuate throughout the day from exposure to the stressors both internal and external. Internal skin stressors like psychological stress impact the health of our skin with increasing levels of stress hormone. External skin stressors like environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, UV exposure, and pollution and lifestyle choices like eating, drinking and smoking take a toll on our skin. Collagen helps to repair skin over time by restoring dead skin cells and also makes sure we are protected against these harmful stressors through natural collagen production as well.

Why Collagen?

Some of the proven results answer this question on why should we add it to our skincare routine and hop on to this new trend that is here to stay. It boosts plumpness and keeps our skin hydrated throughout the day 4x times more than usual. You can also see 15% improved skin elasticity after just 4 days of applying it daily, the right way. Nearly 88% skin enthusiasts and beauty experts have agreed that this ingredient keeps our skin plump & bouncy throughout the day making it a must-have in our skincare routine right away! There’s clearly no reason now to stop ourselves from filling our shopping carts with the right collagen products and get started on our skincare journey. This is one skincare trend that you wish you bumped into earlier!
