How can collagen reverse the effects of menopause on the skin?
Menopause can be a difficult time in a woman’s life, as not only do we have to contend with changing hormone levels but we also have to deal with how these changes affect our skin and bodies. Luckily, Kollo Health’s premium marine collagen supplements can help to reverse the effects of menopause on the skin.
How does the menopause affect women’s skin?
Once we pass the age of 20, our natural production of elastin starts to decline. This means that fine lines and wrinkles start to appear as elastin is responsible for keeping the skin both hydrated and plump. However, when women start to become menopausal, this elastin growth decreases even faster, and with it, the jowls start to gradually dip down. Studies show that elastin levels drop by around 30% during the first five years of menopause. This can also lead to uneven skin textures and pigmentation.
How can collagen supplements help?
Supplements such as our Kollo Health premium marine collagen sachets can help to reinforce the levels of elastin and collagen lost. This can lead to results such as:
Improved skin elasticity
Collagen supplements can help to improve the elasticity of the skin. This means that the number of surface-level wrinkles and fine lines on our faces will be reduced with prolonged use – including the dreaded crow's feet. If you're wondering how this works, the answer is simple. Collagen is responsible for activating cells called fibroblasts in the skin, which make the skin more stretchy and help to iron out signs of ageing for a more youthful look.
Fewer dark spots
Collagen also works to help prevent the creation of dark spots on our skin. It does this by stimulating the production of healthy tissue formation, which speeds up our skin’s healing process, correcting any instances of dark spots for a more even, glowing complexion.
