Collagen is a protein that is found in your skin, hair, nails and bones. It holds the bones together and keep the joints strong, it also makes the skin elastic, supple, and looking young. 

As you grow old and approach your late 20s your body begins to produce less collagen and your skin begins to age. You might notice wrinkles begin to surface and your skin gradually loses it’s elasticity as you approach middle age. 

How does ageing affect our skin?

A youthful skin comprises of:

• Collagen that provides structure to the skin and prevents wrinkles
• Elastin that provides suppleness and prevents sagging
• Hyaluronic Acid that infuses moisture to prevent dullness

After the age of 30, we start loosing 1-2% of the above key elements every year due to factors like:

• Internal factors of ageing
• External factors like UV damage

Now you must be aware that as you hit your 20s, your skin will start to lose it’s glow and suppleness. Are you concerned about the wrinkles and signs of aging? You have tried collagen creams and powders hoping it will fix your skin concern. All useless?

Ingredients that help in reviving the youthful glow

One starts to notice changes in the skin as one approaches their late 20s and middle age. The skin may begin to lose its natural sheen due to hormonal changes. This can worsen with poor dietary and lifestyle choices. 

• 24 K gold flakes

Gold particles when combined with collagen have the potential to protect the skin from AGEs (Advanced Glycation End products) which cause skin aging. It protects the skin from hyper- pigmentation and dullness to impart a youthful glow to the skin. 

Ingredients that help in limiting internal aging

The natural aging of the skin is inevitable. With age the skin becomes dry, develops fine lines, and begins to degrade with time. Below are some ingredients which help slow down the natural aging process.   

• Hyaluronic Acid

This component can absorb and retain moisture in the skin. Hyaluronic acid helps the skin to take up moisture to crease out those wrinkles and plump up the skin. 

• Sea Buckthorn

It has anti-aging and anti-wrinkle properties. It promotes skin hydration and elasticity to firm up and tone sagging skin to smooth out wrinkles.

• Gingko extract

The extract contains components called phenolics and flavonoids which have antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging properties. 

Ingredients that help in restoring skin elasticity

Collagen and elastin are two proteins in the skin which prevent it from hanging loose.

As one ages the skin makes less of these proteins causing it to sag and become loose. Below are 2 ingredients which restore skin elasticity.  

• Areca nut

Areca nut contains phenolic components which protect these proteins elastin and collagen in the skin. This in-turn improves the tone of the skin, making it less loose.
