It seems the latest craze at the moment is liquid collagen, and it is being sold as the solution to the aging process. But can it really make you look younger and does a collagen supplement really work?
Collagen is a vital skin protein that helps to keep the skin firm and supple and after the age of just 25 we start to make less of it. This decreasing production accelerates as we get older which is why our skin starts to sag and wrinkles and lines appear.
Liquid collagen has traditionally been used by athletes and bodybuilders to improve their strength and help with aching joints, but there is no evidence that it or collagen supplements have any beneficial effects on reversing the signs of aging.
For example if you apply a collagen cream to your skin, it cannot have any benefit as the molecules are too big to penetrate the skin. It is all just marketing hype and the same goes for collagen supplements as it has such a complex molecular structure that it cannot easily integrate from another source.
The best way forward if you want to look younger naturally and safely is to use a cutting-edge skin care range. The one I use comes from a company in New Zealand who have just made a breakthrough with a substance extracted from sheep's wool.
This will actually boost your body's production of both collagen and elastin to levels not seen since your youth, removing lines and wrinkles in weeks, not months. This is far more effective than liquid collagen could ever be.
Other synergistic ingredients in the range include Phytessence wakame from Japanese sea kelp, which is full of antioxidants, vitamins and calcium and CoQ10 to nourish deep down all seven layers of skin and prevent wrinkles from returning.
All of these ingredients are completely natural and safe enough to eat! This should be the way forward with skin care to have natural ingredients that turn back the clock on aging and at the same time improve your general health and well-being.
So forget liquid collagen or supplements and discover effective ingredients instead that will keep your skin supple and smooth for the long term.
