Skincare Benefits of Collagen

 




One word that every skincare enthusiast must know is “collagen”. Collagen is a protein that gives structure to our skin. You replenish your body’s collagen production through food and collagen supplements. It restores body tissues and toughness. If you ever wondered what holds the skin structure, texture and elasticity together, it’s collagen. It is one of the main building blocks of the skin. Collagen is also found in the bones, ligaments and tendons. But this article will pay attention to collagen in the skin. Did you know that collagen makes up about 75% of the skin structure? Here are other skincare benefits of collagen.



1. Collagen is essential for smoothing the skin. When it is present in your food, you’re sure to replenish it naturally on the skin. Eating proteins and food rich in amino acids will help restore your collagen naturally. Collagen has anti-ageing effects and leaves your skin healthy and glowing. If you need to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines, ensure your food contains a healthy amount of protein (collagen).


 


2. Collagen promotes the general softness of the skin. It makes sure your skin is constantly hydrated and reduces itchiness. Our skin is made up of water which promotes the skin moisture of the body. Dry skin can lead to different skin conditions; therefore, the presence of collagen is essential. The best way to retain moisture on the skin is not just by drinking water but also by consuming collagen.



3. When there is collagen in the body, you won’t have to worry about cellulite. It helps to hide and cover cellulite. When our skin thins out from using harsh products or ageing, the cellulite becomes more visible. Collagen strengthens the dermis layer of the skin, therefore, hiding the cellulite.



4. One of the skincare benefits of collagen is that it fades acne scars and helps to fight stretch marks. There are different reasons why the skin stretches. When this happens, the presence of collagen fades stretch makes. It improves the appearance of the skin. Ensuring you eat food that promotes collagen production is a quick way to get rid of stretch marks. Acne leaves scars on the face that are sometimes difficult to get rid of. You can use shea butter to boost collagen production.



5. Collagen protects our skin from the damage of UV rays. The constant exposure to the sun causes sunburn and puts us at risk of cancer. Also, when we expose ourselves to the sun without wearing sunscreen, we break the collagen in our skin. Sun rays are more damaging to the skin than we know. Ask your dermatologist for the best supply of collagen supplements.


 

Body butters are also an excellent source of collagen. Shea butter boosts the body’s production of collagen. It contains naturally occurring chemicals. Shea butter also promotes new skin cell generation.


Eat your collagen through dairy products and proteinous meals.

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground.  The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

She Must Be Obeyed Movie Review

  I don't understand Funke Akindele's obsession with the music industry Sha. She is always trying to project the industry one way or the other - we have Industreet already. On this new one Sha, I don't know how to feel about it.  This storyline is great. The life of a Celebrity musician behind the camera and in front of the camera. But the directing get as e be. The movie just dey anyhow. But the acting from some cast made up for the 'anyhowness'. Bishop (Okon) was amazing. Lateef was great. Gayness doesn't fit Akah. He shouldn't try it again. Vee tried small. I don't understand what Ali Nuhu was acting. Lizzy Jay sef dey vex person. The entire Rachael Okonkwo family weren't it at all. Mama Gee no try at all. Don't give her a drunk role again. Nancy Isime was Nancy Isime, Just there. Shaffy Bello was great as always. In all, I will give it a 4/10.

Big Love Movie Review

  While this movie tried not to be your regular Nollywood Romantic movie, I still got annoyed at some small small mistakes that I saw. Inkblot is too big for some mistakes that were present in this movie. Overall, Big Love is nice. It's a movie that would take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. The beginning was quite not it.  Most of the dialogues got me rolling my eyes, like warahell. Casting was great. Storyline was amazing Directing wasn't coordinated. There were scenes that looked rushed and scattered. PS - VJ Adams should just leave Bimbo for Timini. Their chemistry is mind-blowing. Timini had grown as an actor. And it's great to see. Aunty Shaffy is great, as always. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.
