Should I Take a Collagen Supplement For My Skin?

Collagen is always a beauty buzz word as it is a huge component in the way that our skin looks. It is the support network of skin and gives the structure and tone that can make a huge difference to the condition of our skin. Lots of collagen equals healthy looking, bouncy, youthful plumpness and low collagen usually shows up as more skin sagging and wrinkles. This is a completely natural part of skin ageing and should be embraced, but there is no harm in wanting to keep our skin as taught as possible, for as long as possible. At Nakin we are dedicated to producing the best anti-ageing skincare range using the power of plants. Our anti-ageing face products can have a big impact on how our skin looks but applying products topically can only ever get our skin to a certain level, and what we ingest also has a huge impact on how our skin looks.

For people looking to improve the health and appearance of their skin, collagen supplements can be a great option. Collagen is an important component of healthy skin and its production decreases as we age, leading to wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Taking a collagen supplement can help restore some of this lost collagen, giving you smoother and more youthful-looking skin.

Collagen supplements come in various forms including capsules, tablets, powders, and topical creams. They are made from either animal sources (such as marine-sourced collagen) or plant sources (such as soy protein isolate). Both types offer similar skincare benefits but differ in terms of absorption rate, so it’s important to consider which type best suits your needs.

Taking a collagen supplement can be an effective way to improve the health and appearance of your skin. However, it should not be used as a substitute for other skincare practices or lifestyle changes that can benefit your overall wellbeing. By using a combination of these approaches, you will achieve the best results and maintain beautiful, youthful-looking skin. Nakin have a gorgeous range of skincare that can be used with ingestible skincare supplements.

Please note that this is our opinion on collagen supplements which we know are really popular. However, whenever adding something like this to our diet we should always consider all of implications and research it completely to see if it is right for you in the first place, you are taking the right products, plus the potential side effects. Our health should always be the number one priority and we should seek medical advice before taking a supplement.

It is also important to remember that taking a collagen supplement will help to keep skin looking and feeling great, but it is just one piece in the puzzle. Having healthy plump skin relies on us having good nutrition all over and aligning our beauty efforts with the rest of our lifestyle. So, eating healthily, staying hydrated, exercising and getting enough sleep are all even more important than taking a collagen supplement.
