WHAT REALLY HAPPENS TO OUR\u00a0<\/strong>COLLAGEN, AND HOW TO SUPPORT IT.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s actually from around your mid-twenties that collagen production naturally starts to drop off. By the time most people reach their forties, those changes become more noticeable, with skin gradually becoming thinner, less firm and slower to repair.<\/p>\n

Whilst we\u2019re not here to try and stop the ageing process, you can support the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen, and here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

Think of collagen as your skin’s support system.\u00a0It’s the protein responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth and resilient. As levels decline, you probably start to notice fine lines, a loss of elasticity, maybe texture changes, and skin that just doesn’t feel quite as bouncy as it used to.<\/p>\n

Remember this:\u00a0<\/em>
\nThe best treatments don’t replace collagen artificially, they encourage your skin to make more of its own.<\/em><\/p>\n

SkinPen Microneedling Facial<\/strong><\/a>
\nAmazing for boosting natural collagen production, it creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate a healing response, improving texture, tone and overall skin quality.<\/p>\n

T-Shape Full Rejuvination Facial\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Combines cold laser with radiofrequency heat energy to stimulate collagen deeper within the skin, helping improve firmness and tighten areas that are also beginning to lose definition.<\/p>\n

AT HOME SKINCARE<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Collagen isn’t going to be built overnight, but great consistent skincare is what matters.<\/div>\n

One of the most researched skincare ingredients for supporting collagen production and improving skin renewal over time is\u00a0retinyl palmitate<\/strong>. In our\u00a0Daily Support Oil<\/a>\u00a0this is the main ingredient and together with\u00a0Bakuchiol<\/strong>\u00a0it targets dryness, redness, fine lines, hyperpigmentation.<\/p>\n

\"CAN<\/a><\/p>\n

COLLAGEN FROM THE INSIDE: WHAT TO EAT<\/h3>\n

Great skin isn’t only about what you apply, it’s also about what you eat. Collagen synthesis is a nutrient-dependent process, so your plate plays a real role alongside your skincare routine and your in-clinic treatments.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C<\/strong>\u00a0is essential; it’s required to convert pro-collagen into collagen, so citrus, berries, bell peppers and kiwi genuinely earn their place on your plate.<\/p>\n

Amino acids<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 proline, lysine and glycine \u2014 are the actual building blocks of collagen. You’ll find them in eggs, legumes, bone broth, and lean proteins like chicken and fish.<\/p>\n

Zinc and copper<\/strong>\u00a0act as cofactors, helping the enzymes that build collagen do their job. Think pumpkin seeds, cashews, oysters and wholegrains.<\/p>\n

Antioxidants<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 carotenoids from carrots and sweet potato, polyphenols from berries and green tea \u2014 protect the collagen you already have from oxidative breakdown.<\/p>\n

And one to limit: excess sugar and refined carbohydrates trigger glycation, where sugar molecules attach to collagen fibres and make them stiff and brittle. So that afternoon pastry may be doing more to your skin than your waistline.<\/p>\n

The bottom line: consistency \u2014 on your skin, in the clinic, and on your plate \u2014 is what actually moves the needle.<\/p>\n
