Being only female doctor in family everyone comes to me with concerns related to trending skincare products and methods, so the other day my sister asked me that does this collagen mask really boost your collagen formation and gives tight and bright skin? At the moment I realized how companies manipulate their costumer and make them to believe in every other things so it’s our duty to explain people science and facts behind these marketing strategy.
What is Collagen?
Collagen is proteins and help to give structure, strength to skin, bones, muscles and other connective tissue. It also helps new cells to grow and remove dead cells protect vital visceral organs.
Collagen cells forms everyday and replaces old cells but during old age, menopause, even bad lifestyle and diet collagen cells breaks down rapidly and rate of formation of new cells decreases.
Collagen Mask Reality Check
Many think that by applying collagen mask collagen get absorbed through skin and gives tight bright glow but that’s actually a very big misconception, reasons are as follows.
- Actual collagen are macromolecules cannot be penetrated into the skin.
- There is no any external or topical product that directly provides collagen.
- Collagen mask contains hydrating serums which results in giving glowy and plumpy effect.
Conclusion
Collagen are cells that produce inside the body so no any cream, sheet mask, lotion or serums can give you collagen, One can improve collagen production itself by having Vitamin C rich foods, sea foods, leafy vegetables, and applying healthy lifestyle.
