COLLAGEN: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Collagen, a key player in the anti-aging arena, abounds in our bodies during the first two decades of life, only to start declining around the age of 30. This decrease leads to diminished skin fullness, more visible signs of aging, and the emergence of wrinkles. While aging is an inevitable process, its effects on the skin can be mitigated and slowed with specific skincare treatments.Understanding Collagen
Accounting for about 30% of the body's protein, collagen serves as the skin's structural backbone, crucial for its cohesion, elasticity, resistance, and regenerative capacity. Produced by fibroblasts, collagen fibers are immersed in a gel-like substance filled with molecules that retain water and keep the skin firm. As we age, this structural support weakens and thins, resulting in drier, more fragile, and less elastic skin.
The Aging Process and Collagen
The body's collagen production hits its peak at 20, then starts to decline by about 1.5% annually from the age of 30, accelerating after 45. This gradual loss, coupled with fibroblasts' diminished activity and the degradation of collagen, leads to the skin's aging. Factors such as sun exposure exacerbate collagen breakdown due to UV rays activating proteins that degrade collagen, highlighting the sun's role in skin aging.
Collagen's Impact on Skin Aging
Collagen loss directly correlates with a reduction in skin firmness, leading to thinner skin support tissues and the formation of wrinkles. The face loses its youthful contours, resulting in sagging cheeks and drooping mouth corners. However, there are effective ways to counteract collagen loss. Targeted cosmetic products can stimulate collagen production, slowing down the aging signs.
Combatting Collagen Loss: An Anti-Aging Strategy
Embracing a philosophy of aging gracefully, Payot introduces the Roselift Collagène line, designed to harmonize with the natural aging process and promote mature skin that looks radiant and supple. The products aim to rejuvenate fibroblast cellular metabolism and boost collagen fiber production, featuring a patented Damask rose-derived ingredient and collagen-boosting peptides.
