Collagen is like the scaffolding that supports the structure of our skin, keeping it firm, plump, and youthful-looking. From the mid-20s, our natural production of collagen begins to decline. By our early 30s we start to lose about one percent of it per year. By 40, collagen levels drop significantly and that’s when people first start to notice signs of ageing. This is why it’s essential to build and replenish collagen. Collagen banking is like an investment in our skin’s future. Just as we save for retirement to secure financial stability later on, taking proactive steps now to build and maintain collagen safeguards our skin against significant decline as we age.
