There\u2019s no denying the world is currently obsessed with all things collagen, and it may or may not have something to do with the fact that this key ingredient might just be the VIP ticket to eternal youth. But before we get into the nitty gritty (it literally goes skin deep) let\u2019s just backtrack a little, shall we?<\/p>\n
First thing\u2019s first. What exactly is collagen? Well, in its simplest terms, collagen is the fibrous protein responsible for fighting off wrinkles and fine lines and keeping your skin looking and feeling firm, supple and plump (ie. what every girl wants forever). In fact, it\u2019s the most abundant protein present in the human body, also found in our hair and nails.<\/p>\n
As we age, our body\u2019s ability to produce collagen starts to decrease, and as a result, the skin starts to lose its elasticity. With collagen making up approximately 75% of our skin, the aim here is to top these levels up as best we can to help maintain a youthful glow.<\/p>\n
Luckily, there a\u00a0number of ways\u00a0you can do just that. Natural collagen\u00a0boosters\u00a0include eating the\u00a0right foods\u2014think; berries, red and orange veggies (because, Vitamin C and A), dark leafy greens (because, when are they ever\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0a contender) and oily fish\u2014just to name a few. There are also various topical treatments available that include collagen-loving ingredients, as well as ingestible supplements in the form of liquids and capsules (Sporteluxe\u2019s very own\u00a0Bianca Cheah\u00a0is a huge fan).<\/p>\n
New to the collagen game and not sure where to start? We\u2019ve rounded up some entry-level products that\u2019ll help you on your way to your best skin ever.<\/p>\n
Quite possible the easiest way to make your collagen debut! Simply apply the face mask to reap all the anti-ageing benefits (even if you\u2019re in your 20s). This one by the Korean skincare experts over at LAPCOS works to hydrate and renew firm-looking skin while working its magic deep within (excuse the accidental rhyming). Shop\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n
This best-selling collagen booster by NuFACE stimulates collagen production for maximum firming and tightening of the skin. It contains copper, a vital enzyme component that enables collagen to do its thing. Shop\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n
You know what they say, everything starts in the gut! A favourite here in the Sporteluxe office, The Beauty Chef Collagen Inner Beauty Boost contains more than six-billion naturally occurring prebiotics and probiotics per serving to balance the digestive tract and in turn, improve skin vitality. It\u2019s ultimately designed to increase the skin\u2019s production of collagen and promote a radiant, naturally plump complexion from the inside out. Shop\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n
We can\u2019t help but think of how cute this\u2019ll look on our\u00a0shelfie, but in all seriousness,\u00a0MZ Skin\u2019s firming Collagen Activating Eye Complex is designed to minimise the appearance for dark circles and blur fine lines. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, it works to restore and lock in moisture while promoting collagen and elastin production.\u00a0The addition of Albazia bark extract also reduces puffiness, so that\u2019s a yes from us. Shop\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n
This is\u00a0not the first time<\/a>\u00a0we\u2019ve hailed this supplement as a beauty must-have. Two things: it\u2019s clinically-backed formulations are 100% natural with no gluten, soy or fillers and you get to create personalised supplement plans with the help of registered dietitians so you\u2019re not just popping pills for the sake of it. Learn more about their offerings\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n
Um, why should your eyes miss out?\u00a0Give your lashes the loving they deserve with this intensifying mascara by LashFood. Enriched with volume-boosting collagen as their key ingredient, the unique, nourishing formula is infused with arginine and biotin to promote hair growth, stengthening each lash to prevent breakage. Shop\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n
And now for your lips!\u00a0Pucker up with this collagen-infused lip mask by KNC Beauty. Loved by countless beauty bloggers and influencers alike, you\u2019ll feel the plumping effects almost instantly.\u00a0Blended with moisturising rose flower oil, cherry extract and vitamin E, these individual masks are the perfect pre lipgloss prep that\u2019ll have your lips looking fuller in a flash.
