Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that acts like scaffolding and cushioning in our skin, keeping it plump and bouncy.
As we age, our collagen levels drop, which can leave us with fine lines, wrinkles, and an all-round loss of firmness. Although the body naturally makes its own collagen, as we age, this production process slows down, with levels falling by approximately 1% per year from our mid-20s, and the drop really accelerates at around the age of 50.
