DIY Collagen Mask and The Benefits Behind It
Collagen Face Mask Recipe
And the Benefits you Need to Know
It is no secret that collagen is a hot topic in the beauty industry. Our body’s collagen production goes down as we age, meaning our lack of collagen is a major factor behind visible signs of aging. Replenishing our collagen is now a proven way to help look and feel more youthful.
Taking collagen daily will help with the long term support of healthier, firmer, more hydrated, and glowing skin leading to a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
When taking Collagen , you need about 4 weeks to see results in your hair, skin and nails, and another 4 to feel results in your joints and digestion. Good news is, the results stick around as long as you are taking it. But sometimes, we want instant results to give our mood a boost and look and feel gorgeous!!
A Collagen Mask can be a great way to get short term, but immediate results.

What is Collagen
And Why Does Your Skin Need it?
Collagen is a structural protein, which means its most basic structure is amino acids that build tissue. Specifically, connective tissues. Collagen is actually the most abundant protein in mammals, making up 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content and 75% of the skin’s dry weight.
It gives your skin structure, strength, and elasticity. The amount of collagen in your skin will impact how firm and smooth your skin looks. Since collagen production decreases as you age, a lack in collagen is a main reason your skin becomes thinner, drier, and duller. This contributes to fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.
Taking collagen daily can help boost your skin’s collagen density and slow down collagen degeneration. Applying a collagen mask can help further those results while giving you an immediate boost!
