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.

Sista Movie Review

  The opening scene did me in. I read somewhere that the first few 5 minutes of a movie determines if it is worth it.  Trust me, Sista movie hooked me in less than 5 minutes. I loved the straight to the point opening. No show of the Third Mainland Bridge. No lazy show of Lagos traffic. Nothing. Also, the past/present sequence made crazy sense.  Seeing Kehinde Bankole in that role is refreshing, it's not what she is used to, but she did well. Chimezie was quite not in character, or maybe he didn't bond with Ade Herself. I don't know. He is better than what I saw him act here. As usual Aunty Ronke Oshodi Oke gave it her all. This Tope Owokoniran babe tried with her Hausa accent. I love it!!! I think this is the best of her I have seen so far. I'd say this is a movie Aunty Biodun Stephen put her everything to make. This is a beautiful work of art. I love every piece of it. The story line is dope. Directing is flawless. The fun part was that even though It was predictable f...

Ijakumo Movie Review

  Whatever this movie was set to give, it didn't give.  Even the stripping is not giving. Why is the Sharon girl sex talking like she is doing spoken words???  I liked the babe in "Listening Ears", but I feel she is not 'mature' enough theatrically for this role. Wait, what I noticed was that Toyin and her crew didn't know there was a girl who looks like the Sharon girl in his church. A very crazy error that no director should make. If they had come in with this, maybe the finding out they were twin bla BLA BLA suspense would suspense well. But as the director or script writer were very myopic, the twin shii didn't hold water. If they had said or showed that they picked the Ugandan girl because she looked like the Nigerian girl in his church, e for make perfect sense. Seriously, I am miffed. The only thing that thrilled me was Kunle Remi and his lines. O mard gan. 🤣🤣🤣 "Emi mimo ni kin gbenu sohun". 🤣🤣🤣 "So, idi Uganda lo Fe baye mi j...

The Black Book Movie Review

  Chaos is what you get when you try to film movies like Hollywood without doing your homework well.  That kidnapping scene is one of the most chaotic and unorganized crime scenes ever. Like WTH!! Moving on, we have RMD and Olumide bonding that didn't give the vibes they were gunning for. Then the scene where Sam Dede called Bimbo Akintola on the phone asking who he should kill. Please what's the job of the two police men that were present at the scene? What's their work? Are they aesthetics? I expected them to go close to her immediately they realized she was communicating with the kidnappers. No, they stood like they were visitors checking family album. Mchew. It was after the conversation has ended that the soldier guy came to stand in front of her - like a mannequin.  Another thing, choice of soundtrack was shitty. What's "omo mi Seun rere" doing in that beach scene. I am rolling my eyes. All those half half conversations that were flying up and down, na r...
