The key to healthy and radiant skin
When we talk about youthfulness, elasticity and radiance of the skin, there are two substances that are at the center: collagen and hyaluronic acid. These two components are crucial for the skin's structure, moisture balance and natural resistance to aging. We tell you more about why collagen and hyaluronic acid are so important, how they affect your skin and how to get healthy and radiant skin through the right skin care products.
What are collagen and hyaluronic acid?
Collagen is a protein that makes up about 75% of the dry weight of the skin. It acts as the “framework” of the skin, providing structure, elasticity and strength. When we are young, our bodies produce plenty of collagen, resulting in firm, supple and smooth skin.
Hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring sugar found in connective tissue and skin. Its primary function is to bind moisture – in fact, hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water. It helps keep the skin hydrated, plump and elastic.
Collagen and hyaluronic acid work together to maintain the skin's youthful properties. However, as we age, the body's natural production of both of these substances decreases, leading to dryness, fine lines, loss of volume and sagging skin.
The History of Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid in Skincare
The interest in collagen and hyaluronic acid in skin care is far from new. As early as the 1930s, researchers began isolating hyaluronic acid from animal tissue, and in the 1950s, its amazing ability to bind moisture was recognized. Collagen began to be used in aesthetic treatments in the 1970s and has since become an obvious ingredient in products aimed at strengthening skin structure and fighting the signs of aging.
Today, biotechnologically produced hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed collagen are used in modern skincare, enabling effective, safe and vegan alternatives – something we at Bagliora are proud to include in our products.
Why do Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid in the skin decrease over time?
After the age of 25, the body's collagen production decreases by about 1% per year. At the same time, the skin's natural ability to produce and preserve hyaluronic acid also deteriorates. The effects of UV radiation, pollution, stress and poor diet can also speed up this process.
The result? The skin becomes thinner, drier and loses its elasticity. That's why it's so important to support the skin with products that supply and stimulate both collagen and hyaluronic acid.
Benefits of Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid in your skincare
Adding products containing collagen and hyaluronic acid to your daily routine provides several tangible benefits:
-
Increased skin elasticity: Collagen strengthens the skin's structure and reduces sagging.
-
Deep hydration: Hyaluronic acid helps skin retain moisture, minimizing dryness and fine lines.
-
Improved elasticity: The combination of these two substances makes the skin softer and more elastic.
-
Increased radiance: Well-hydrated and strengthened skin has a natural, youthful glow.
-
Prevention of signs of aging: Regular use can slow the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss.
