WHAT IS COLLAGEN AND WHAT DOES COLLAGEN DO?

Collagen is the building block of skin structure. It gives your skin the firmness, bounce, and strength you love but as life changes from age, weight shifts, or hormonal changes, your natural collagen production drops making skin feel uneven, or dry. Collagen plays a key role in many of our major structures, including skin, hair, bones, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, cartilage and connective tissues. Full of amino acids, which are important for our body to function normally. Healthy collagen levels help keep your joints strong and flexible, support your metabolism by protecting key organs like your kidneys and heart, and play a role in recovery, all essential for staying active and maintaining a healthy weight.

THE SKIN BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN

Collagen plays a major role in keeping the skin hydrated, contributing to maintaining overall skin health. It provides strength, elasticity and hydration, which all contribute to a visibly youthful complexion. Our collagen levels are highest when we are young (think of children with their smooth skin).

Some great benefits of collagen help your skin by both looking and providing:
• A healthy glow
• Dewy and plump
• Firm and smooth
• Supple skin that bounces back
• A bright and revitalised delicate eye area

HOW TO STIMULATE COLLAGEN PRODUCTION

The good news is that there are a few ways we can help stimulate collagen production in our skin when it slows down – even for mature skin.

You can start by incorporating collagen-boosting products into your skincare routine.

NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Lotion

Our NIVEA Firming Q10 Body Lotion is enriched with an improved formula with Collagen Boost Complex consisting of pure Q10 & vitamin C. Our formula works to make skin firmer and more elastic in just 7 days, while providing deep moisturisation for 72 hours – clinically proven. Using skincare with Q10 provides antioxidants that help regenerate and repair skin cells, promoting an improved skin appearance as you age gracefully.

Choosing the right skincare products isn’t the only way to top up collagen levels. Here are some simple tips and tricks you can add to your daily life to get a collagen boost:

1. MASSAGE

Massaging your facial skin and body can help stimulate collagen production and strengthen muscle memory. If the muscles in your face and body are more toned, they'll be better at retaining skin tightness, and more blood will be circulated around the skin, potentially helping to achieve a glowing complexion.

2. STAY HYDRATED

Drinking plenty of water is always a good idea to flush out toxins and keep your complexion clearer. Keeping skin hydrated also helps provide a skin barrier for water loss. Collagen can bind to water and can naturally condition the skin to help maintain moisture levels which leaves you with brighter looking, more even skin.

3. EAT WELL

Eating the right nutrients not only nourishes our bodies but helps produce more collagen. Protein-rich foods, like bone broth, salmon, pork, chicken and egg yolks, are a great choice. Look at ways to boost your intake of both collagen and Vitamin C, too.

Without Vitamin C, the body can't form, store or synthesise collagen, and it's responsible for holding cells together during the creation of collagen. Foods like broccoli, brussels sprouts, strawberries and pineapple are all high in Vitamin C.

4. IMPROVE YOUR LIFESTYLE

Watch out for things that inhibit the production of collagen and accelerate skin ageing. Smoking is a big one, as it limits the blood supply to your face, which keeps the skin from looking supple and healthy. Unprotected sun exposure is another factor to avoid. UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis and can damage collagen fibers. Excess sugar and alcohol can also deplete collagen levels and should be avoided.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT COLLAGEN FOR THE SKIN

What is the function of collagen and why is it important for the skin?

Collagen is a powerful protein naturally produced in our bodies, providing structure, strength, and support to our skin and various tissues. It is essential for maintaining the skin's firmness, elasticity, and overall youthful looking skin.

Does collagen tighten and improve body skin?

Collagen itself doesn't directly tighten body skin – but it plays a crucial role in maintaining skin structure and elasticity. Collagen provides support and firmness, helping to keep the skin tight and resilient. It is the primary protein in the skin's connective tissues that helps maintain your skin's firmness and strength. As we age or lose collagen, skin can become looser and less elastic. By increasing your collagen levels through your facial skincare, applying body lotion with collagen, diet, or treatments can help reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of sagging and enhance overall firmness and resilience, leading to smoother and more youthful looking skin.

How does collagen production change with age?

As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to visible signs of ageing such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of elasticity.

Is collagen good for people of all ages?

Yes, collagen is beneficial for individuals of all ages. While it is essential to take care of our skin from an early age, incorporating collagen into your skincare and body care routines can benefit and help maintain youthful skin throughout life.

Does collagen help against dark spots on the skin?

Collagen itself doesn't directly help with dark marks, but it can indirectly improve skin health and elasticity, potentially reducing the appearance of dark marks over time. To boost both collagen production as well as target dark marks on the facial skin you can apply a dual-action cream such as the NIVEA LUMINOUS630® 2-IN-1 Anti-Age & Dark Spot Serum.

Is collagen suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, collagen-based skincare products are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, doing a patch test or consulting with a dermatologist before trying new products, especially for sensitive skin, is always recommended. What ingredients in skincare help boost collagen production? Ingredients in skincare that help boost collagen production include retinoids (like Retinol and Retinoic Acid), Vitamin C, Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid and most importantly, Coenzyme Q10.

• Retinoids: Stimulate collagen synthesis

• Vitamin C: Promotes collagen formation and protects against damage

• Peptides: Signal the skin to produce more collagen

• Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates and plumps the skin, supporting collagen structure

• Coenzyme Q10: Neutralises free radicals from UV radiation, pollution, and stress, preventing premature ageing and skin damage.

You can find innovative coenzyme Q10 products from NIVEA that specialise in addressing specific areas and needs.
