Collagen and Anti-ageing

At My Pure Face, we understand that Collagen is the most important and abundant protein for our face and youth. It is formed by a number of amino acids and its main main function is to sustain hydration in our skin. 

Collagen generally grows naturally in our bodies. However, it will start to decrease at age thirty. When we reach fifty, our bodies will produce only 35% of the collagen necessary for sustaining the skin and other organs.

There actually several types of collagen found throughout the body. You can also find it in the neural system, the eyes and in the muscles and skeletal cells.

The loss of collagen is one of the first signs of aging - it's generally seen as the deficiency in the body is called collagenasis. As we get older, muscle loses its tone, bone density decreases, cartilage that surrounds the bones and joints turns fragile and porous. Our ligaments will also lose strength and elasticity and hence our skin will start showing wrinkles and stretch marks. Our nails and hair are also affected by the level of collagen in our bodies.

When it comes to collagen renewal, it can be done through food, supplements and cosmetic products. But healthy habits adopted early can help delay collagen loss and signs of ageing. These include eating from the source - mainly animals. A great way is to regularly consume bone broth along with vitamin C foods to help with absorption. 

We recommend consuming chicken meat with bones and cartilage, beef, powdered gelatins and collagen in capsules, it’s even in candy.
