Did you know that time after time, your skin takes age and inevitably loses its tone, its elasticity weakens and many wrinkles appear? In order to save some time against the signs of aging, many laboratories have developed a series of effective collagen based treatments and injections.That’s maybe why collagen was one of the very first featured ingredients, highlighted by the cosmetics industry. Originally from the Greek, this work means “glue producer” and logically its properties are also ancient, since it was already used by the Egyptians, at least from 2000 BC. J-C. However, this component was not famous for its a glue form, but more specifically for its role in the skin aging, thanks to the studies research.
Therefore, the first uses of collagen in beauty can be dated from the early XXth century, with a real intensification by the cosmetics laboratories, from the 1980s. Notably based on native collagen sources, partially originally extracted from animal skins in order to obtain an aqueous solutions, able to develop products dedicated to the human collagen protection.

As far as we know, collagen is a natural protein, omnipresent in the human body and by the way, nearly 90% of our skin is made up of it, and even 30% of your protein mass, with a common goal to help your epidermic tissues to regenerate and fully maintain the natural elasticity of your facial movements, during the first twenty years of anybody’s existence (photo credits: Klapp).Unfortunately, the collagen production decreases after you get 30 years old, and from then, your skin starts to change of appearance, loses its tone and the first signs of aging become more visible, along the random wrinkles…
Nowadays, in order to offer to your skin a reasonable dose of collagen, two possibilities are available. The more efficient would be to proceed to injections, mandatory operated by a doctor, directly on the targeted zone, for an expected effect able to last for several months. Although, the easiest (and more affordable way) would be the use of existing cosmetic treatments, formulated with collagen, mostly aimed to deeply hydrate your skin. By the way, one of the first collagen pioneers, particularly in beauty care, is Japanese. Established in 1907 by the Nippi laboratory, from this time, their marine collagen could have become one of the main suppliers to the beauty industry.For example, in Japan, dosed between 1000mg and 10000mg, collagen products are available everywhere, either in supermarkets, beauty salons and even some restaurants, baptized beauty restaurants which have even made this as their specialty, by serving collagen based dishes, such as shark fins, chicken skin or pigs’ feet. Based on this statement, you have to know that there are three main types of collagen that you could find not that far from your place, from animal, marine and vegetal sources. Depending on your diet, you have the choice.
As another option, there could the red light therapy. This rejuvenating collagen lamp emits some red light waves, concentrated between 350 and 800 nanometers, depending on the device, which are able to penetrate from 8cm to 10cm into your skin, in order to stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin. This action contributes to heal wounds, relax tissues and promote blood circulation. First of all, it seems that these cosmetics, based on collagen, are an effective solution for your skin to regain its radiance, with multiple proven hydrating and smoothing effects. Therefore, for a complete effectiveness, the casual cream needs to be applied on every single sensitive zone of your face, where wrinkles are most likely to form, such as the eye and lip contours. Moreover, the usual recommendation is to apply your solution every day and particularly in the evening, since the skin cells regenerate the most during your sleep and would be rather ready to fight your imperfections… Thereafter, your visage should be better oxygenated, detoxified and hydrated.
For more illustration, we decided to mention here some proposals of immediate solutions to your skin.
