A decline in
collagen synthesis and cross-
linking caused by free radicals, results in
the weakening and breakdown of collagen
fibres. Skin loses its elasticity and skin
structure collapses, resulting in sagging
skin, lines and wrinkles. Skin's ability to
retain moisture deteriorates, and hence,
skin becomes dry and dull. |
Collagen for Firm,
Youthful Skin
Collagen, which accounts up to 75% of skin tissue, plays an essential
role in maintaining skin tone, suppleness and elasticity. It helps
create that smooth, firm skin and natural healthy glow we all had
when we were young. Unfortunately, the production of collagen declines
at a rate of 1.5% yearly after age 25. Scientists have recently
discovered that the gradual degradation of collagen in the skin
results in visibly dry, dull, wrinkled, and sagging skin.
