The aging we want to delay in the face of irresistible time
The reasons you look older: 1. Aging hair 2. Dry skin 3. Sagging facial shape


Wrinkles that develop from various causes: the biggest reason wrinkles appear is dry skin.
When exposed to sunlight, the drier the skin is, the greater the damage, and when skin is dry, even small irritations can leave marks for a long time.
When the skin becomes dry, wrinkles and dead skin cells form, leading to skin aging.


As we age, the reason the skin sags is that bone density and the fat inside the bone decrease, which reduces skin volume and elasticity.
The key to rejuvenation is collagen!!
Collagen decreases as we get older, and as collagen distributed throughout the body decreases, various problems arise.
Collagen is distributed throughout the body, including the lens, hair, teeth, bones, and muscles. Because it is present throughout the body, it is important for overall health.
To prevent accelerated aging, collagen management is essential.



How does collagen help the skin?
Looking at a cross-section of the skin, there are the epidermis, dermis, and fat layer, and 90% of the dermis, which mainly gives skin its elasticity, is made up of collagen.
Collagen in the dermis acts like the reinforcing bars inside a building, helping keep the skin’s elasticity from collapsing.
When collagen breaks down, sagging and wrinkles appear.

Will collagen help with facial shape collapse caused by aging?
When collagen is lacking, the dermis becomes thinner, the skin gradually sags, and bone volume also decreases.


Bones are not only about calcium and phosphorus; they also contain a collagen-based matrix inside the bone.
The matrix plays a role in helping calcium settle into the bone.


Looking at middle-aged women, after menopause, female hormones decrease.
When female hormones are insufficient, collagen decreases, and bone density also decreases due to the reduction in collagen.
A lack of collagen can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
