Collagen is liken to an elastic layer of "glue" that holds the tissues together. sufficient and strong collagen directly improves the health of our skin.
Besides, Collagen also functions as the water storage in our skin. it stores water and thus maintains the moist of our skin. dry and old skin often originate from the loss of collagen in our skin.
So in order to have perfect skin, we must increase the collagen level in our
skin, along with the good quality of collagen we take to our body.
Factor to Collagen Loss
Did you know ?
Women aged 18 - 50 lose collagen 2.5 times faster than men, because of menstruation, pregnancy, birth giving, breast feeding, hormonal changes, etc.
Collagen Loss With Age
As We age, our skin and all organs suffer from the loss of collagen tn the following ways :
Before 20 years old
High level of collagen in body. the skin is radiation and elastic. women's breast are firm and fit
Age 25 - 30 years old
after 25 years old, our body starts degrading in its ability to produce collagen, until a point less than our body's daily requirement.
Age 30 and above
Collagen level drops more significantly. This is especially after giving birth that the collagen level experience the drastic drop.
Age 45 and above
Collagen level is extremely low and negatively impacts the body. the skin is dull and lose elasticity. The health and moist of the skin is repalced with wrinkles and loose muscles as a result of the loss of collagen.
Result of Collagen Loss
"The skin aging process is actually the collagen losing process.
Collagen loss is the main factor of aging skin."
(Father of collagen - Dr. J. Brandt)
When Collagen level in the skin drops, the skin loses its elasticity and thus begin to lose strength. Wrinkles appear as the result. it also loses the ability to store water and thus resulting dry and dull skin. Pimple spot, freckles etc may get worse. The skin is weak ad unable to hold cells together effectively.
