Skin aging and collagen preservation

Overview

Discussions regarding skin elasticity and aging focus on the role of structural proteins, specifically collagen and elastin. The loss of these proteins leads to wrinkles, sagging, and changes in skin texture. While genetics account for approximately 20% of skin aging, 80% is attributed to the ‘exposome’, which includes external factors such as UV radiation, pollution, smoking, and stress. Lifestyle factors like dehydration and lack of sleep can also contribute to the destruction of these proteins through chemicals and cortisol.

Management strategies emphasize maintaining a ‘collagen bank’ by protecting existing fibers and keeping fibroblasts active. Experts note that while topical collagen application primarily aids hydration and temporary smoothing, there is growing interest in collagen-stimulating preparations. Recent guidance from dermatology and trichology specialists suggests that because collagen molecules are often too large to absorb effectively through topical applications, internal supplementation with hydrolyzed marine collagen peptides and Vitamin C—which acts as a catalyst for natural collagen production—is recommended for deeper structural support.

In addition to skin health, experts in trichology emphasize that effective beauty routines must address underlying biological foundations. Regarding hair care, specialists advise that shampoo selection should be based on scalp condition rather than hair strand type. To avoid irritation, it is suggested to use shampoos to clean the scalp while applying conditioners or masks only from the mid-lengths to the ends.
