2018 - THE YEAR OF COLLAGEN
OKAY YA'LL it's all about the collagen. 2018 has been the year where I've taken a dive into the world of collagen and I have to say I'm loving the results. There have been a few things I've been using that i'll show you below, and link of course.
Okay so let's break this down. What is collagen and why is it important?
Collagen is the main structural protein found in skin. Vitamin C plays an important role in the formation of collagen, so you'll see a lot of the collagen products I use also have vitamin C. Overtime as we age collagen starts to break down and that is when we start to see wrinkles! So if you want to avoid lines and wrinkles stimulating collagen is so important!
So I've linked down below 3 things that I've been using and loving so far!
Vital Proteins Beauty Collagen Strawberry Lemonade
Okay so this product has a couple of different benefits. This is something that I put in my water and drink through out the day. This is not only a beauty collagen, which means its good for skin, hair, and nails, but it's also a probiotic. So this product has so many benefits it's not even funny! It's good for:
skin hydration
improves skin elasticity
maintains firm skin
digestive health
increase energy levels
smoother skin
improves sleep
supports healthy hair, skin, nails, bone and joint health
This flavor is my favorite so far but they also have a lavender lemon and melon mint! It's such an easy thing to add to your daily routine since everyone should be drinking a ton of water during the day anyway! Add 2 scoops to your water and you're good to go!
Dr Dennis Gross C+ Collagen Brighten & Firm Eye Cream
I really love this C+ Collagen line from Dr Dennis Gross because all of the products are designed to stimulate collagen and have vitamin C so it's basically a double whammy! The skin under your eyes is the thinnest skin on your face so you want to make sure you're using products that are gentle enough for it! This product is amazing for:
dark circles
loss of firmness
fine lines
wrinkles
improve the look of tired
I'm somebody who is constantly rubbing my eyes (I know I shouldn't be) so I'm always on the look out for something thats really going to combat all the damage I do to my under eyes through out the day!
C+ Collagen Brighten & Firm Vitamin C Serum
This is the newest thing I've added to my routine and I love it. I've recently fell in love with Dr Dennis Gross products if you couldn't tell and I'm slowly converting over to all his products! This Vitamin C Serum is packed with collagen amino acids and works to help diminish the appearance of:
dullness
dark spots
rough texture
expression lines
If you're not using a Vitamin C serum I HIGHLY SUGGEST you start! It doesn't have to be this exact one but it should definitely be apart of your skin care routine! I've tried a ton of vitamin C serums and so far I think this one is my favorite!
I hope I educated everybody a little on the important of collagen! If you use any of these products or use something else I should know about please leave a comment down below!
