Very popular for years in the USA, collagen is now well established in France. Available in powder, capsules, or gummies, you cannot escape this new beauty ally. All the stars use it, including Gwyneth Paltrow, who even went so far as to create her own brand. But why has collagen become an essential part of wellness and beauty routines?
Collagen: what is it?
Collagen is a protein. It is naturally present in the body and can be found in many of its tissues. Moreover, according to a CNRS study, collagen accounts for about 30% of the proteins in the human body.
Thus, it is present in your skin, your bones, your joints, and even your muscles. Small surprise: it is the one responsible for the elasticity of your skin and connective tissues. However, even though it is naturally present in your body, it is not inexhaustible. Therefore, be aware that, starting at age 30, the collagen level in your body decreases at a rate of 1.5% per year.
How can you tell if your collagen levels are decreasing?
The first sign is the appearance of wrinkles. Why? Because collagen helps you maintain the elasticity of your skin. Thus, when your collagen level decreases, the first wrinkles begin to appear.
Another clue, your hair! Yes indeed, with a decrease in collagen levels, the area around the follicles contains microvessels that transport the nutrients necessary for your body, but especially for your hair. A collagen deficiency weakens this network, leading to a thinning of your hair. They become duller and are more difficult to style.
Nevertheless, other things may set you on the right track, such as:
- the formation of spots on the skin;
- the appearance of joint pain;
- a decrease in your bone density;
- hair loss…
In short, as you must have understood, a loss of collagen signifies the beginning of the first signs of aging.
Collagen loss: What solutions?
Collagen is a protein naturally stored in your body, and your body does not produce any throughout your lifetime. Thus, only a few solutions are available for you to regain a peach complexion, silky hair, and say goodbye to your joint pains.
1 – Massage is life
You have certainly already seen people performing massages with a jade roller. You may even have wondered what it could possibly be used for. Laboratories Üma now gives you the answer today: it is used to improve the elasticity of your skin and also to reduce wrinkles.
In reality, regular massages on the face help stimulate collagen production. However, be aware that even if you stimulate production, it will not prevent collagen loss.
2 – And what if you tested the Üma collagen?
Another solution is to take collagen-based supplements. While many try powdered collagen, it can sometimes be difficult to drink due to its taste or texture. That’s why Laboratoires üma offer capsules that you can take with you everywhere, even on vacation.
Why take supplements? Because they will have an effect on all the tissues in your body. They will allow you to replenish your reserves. You can say goodbye to your first wrinkles, dull hair, brittle nails, and, cherry on the cake, your joint pain.
Furthermore, Iconique Collagène restores the nutrients and collagen that are affected by the drop in your estrogen levels. 100% natural and made from marine collagen, it allows you to see the first results in as little as 30 days.
