All about collagen

For the last three years I’ve been obsessing over collagen, it’s like my aging security blanket, IYKYK. I read somewhere days before my 30th birthday that we lose 1% of collagen per year as we enter our thirties, since then I’ve consumed collagen daily and the rest is history. It’s the most abundant protein in our bodies, and I’m trying to hoard as much as I can to slow down my bodies aging process.

I’ve tried a variety of collagen powders, capsules, liquids, topicals, collagen strips and face masks. My favourites are ranging from Amazon sourced Korean skincare brands and my personal favourite, derived from woman owned brands.

I live for my daily rituals, both day and night, so adding something that enhances the way I feel and/or look is exciting, who doesn’t love a new product or potion? As part of my morning rituals I add the highest quality of marine collagen to my matcha latte. The Agent Nateur marine collagen also contains pearl powder which contains “nacre”, a natural compound in pearl powder, stimulates the appearance of collagen to regenerate. It’s odourless, colourless and nearly tasteless. You can add it in your coffee, greens or smoothies too.

Collagen will enhance your hair by eliminating dullness, shedding and increasing more shine. It helps strengthen nails, aids uneven pigmentation and skin texture, increases skin volume and hydration. It can help increase brain function, help with joint pain and bone loss and increase gut health. I can’t stress enough to start taking a good quality collagen daily.

Now let’s get into the skincare products. Of course I love an under-eye mask, (I apply them every morning and drive my kids to school) lately I’m obsessed with Topicals under-eye patches, they feel luxurious, look cute and really eliminate dark circles.

Lately, my abosolute FAVOURITE mask is the viral TikTok overnight collagen mask. I hopped right on that train and let me tell you, SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Recently my sister came to visit and I sent her home with one of these Biodance deep collagen masks and she called me the morning after she wore it over night and was like, “send me the link, where the hell did you get these?!”

The Biodance deep collagen mask is pretty simple, you apply it for 3-4 hours, or overnight and it will dry up over night. Wake up and remove it and you have plump, glass-like skin. I recommend this to anyone who will listen to me!
