Collagen: The Building Block for Maintaining Youthful-Looking Skin

Improve and protect your collagen levels with targeted skin care products

Collagen is one of the key players in the search to keep skin young and vibrant. Since the 1980s, FDA-approved collagen injections - both human and animal-based collagen - have been used to plump up and firm skin. Because this form of collagen treatment is costly, many women are looking at more inexpensive and less invasive methods to maintain and protect the collagen they already have. Aloette understands the importance of this natural protein and offers a range of skin care products dedicated to collagen maintenance, collagen stimulation and the protection of collagen.

What Is Collagen?
Simply put, collagen is the basic protein strand found in skin, cartilage and bones. Although there are about 27 different types of collagen in the body, only certain few found in skin tissue are the types of collagen essential to maintaining skin's strength and elasticity. Essentially, collagen gives body tissues form and provides firmness and strength. As skin ages over time, collagen breaks down, which causes the skin to sag and wrinkle.

Collagen: Skin Care Products Maintain Collagen Levels
Maintaining the collagen levels is easy if you use the right skin care products. Adding Dual Action Bio-C Vitamin C Powder to any of your day or night face creams is the perfect way to start. This face powder protects and revitalizes skin with L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) powder. Vitamin C is the most effective and common antioxidant known to help protect your skin against free radical damage, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and aid in stabilizing collagen levels.

Collagen: Skin Care Products Stimulate Collagen Levels
There are a number of skin care products that help stimulate collagen protection using ingredients like oat amino acids, Idebonone and lactic acid. Aloette’s Platinum Lip Treatment is an anti-aging lip therapy that uses Idebonone to stimulate collagen production which helps keep lips plump and soft. Reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles around eyes with Lift & Glow Eye Prep, which delivers lactic acid to stimulate collagen production.

Collagen: Skin Care Products Protect Collagen Levels
Keeping skin hydrated with a day cream and night cream helps to improve overall appearance; however certain creams contain ingredients that also provide collagen protection. Advanced Night Recovery Pro Face Cream with Revivaderm and Nutri-C Moisture Creme contain Vitamin C, a stable form of the vitamin that provides collagen protection and collagen synthesis. Cellular Day Defense SPF 15 protects and supplements the skin's collagen for younger looking skin.
