The Role of Collagen in Skin Health and How to Boost It Naturally
The Building Block of Youthful Skin
Collagen is a buzzword in skincare for good reason—it’s the protein that keeps your skin firm, elastic, and smooth. However, as we age, collagen production slows, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging. At Beyond Steller, we offer treatments and tips to naturally enhance your skin’s collagen levels for a radiant, youthful glow.
What is Collagen and Why is It Important?
Collagen is a structural protein found in your skin, hair, nails, and connective tissues. It acts as a scaffold, keeping skin firm and resilient.
Functions of Collagen:
- Maintains skin elasticity and firmness.
- Repairs damaged skin tissue.
- Supports hydration by retaining moisture.
What Happens to Collagen as You Age?
Starting in your 20s, your body produces less collagen each year, and external factors like sun exposure, stress, and smoking accelerate this decline.
Signs of Collagen Loss:
- Fine lines and wrinkles.
- Loose, sagging skin.
- Dull, uneven skin texture.
