6 SMART WAYS TO BOOST YOUR GLOW
Collagen is the unsung hero of good skin days. It’s the protein responsible for keeping skin bouncy and hair glossy.
The catch? From our mid-twenties, collagen quietly starts clocking off, declining by around 1.5% a year.
The good news: while we can’t stop the hands of time, we can support our skin in smarter, more strategic ways. From clever serums to sip-worthy supplements, here are six collagen boosters worth knowing about.
The Budget Skin-Plumper
Proof that great skincare doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. This lightweight serum layers seamlessly into your routine, delivering a hydration hit that leaves skin looking fresher, plumper and well-rested. Think: glass-skin energy, minus the splurge.
The Sweet Treat
Collagen, but made fun. These pomegranate-flavoured gummies combine marine collagen with retinol for a beauty boost that actually tastes good. Perfect for anyone who struggles with capsules, or just likes their supplements a little more joyful.
The Heavy-Hitting Moisturiser
If your skincare shelf has a ‘serious business’ section, this belongs there. Packed with collagen-boosting peptides, this rich yet refined cream targets fine lines, loss of firmness and tired-looking skin. The result? A smoother, more sculpted complexion that definitely means business.
The Inside-Out Approach
Skincare doesn’t stop at the surface. These ready-to-drink sachets are designed to support collagen levels from within, helping to nourish skin, hair and nails over time. Ideal for anyone who prefers sipping their skincare with their morning routine.
The Glow-Enhancing Tonic
Part toner, part skin-smoother… Pixi’s Collagen Toic is infused with acacia collagen and peptides. This cult-favourite helps refine texture and soften the look of fine lines while prepping your skin for whatever comes next. Consider it the quiet overachiever of your routine.
The Skin-Reset Mask
Meet the sheet mask with serious credentials. Made with ultra-low molecular collagen (tiny enough to absorb deeply), this one is all about hydration, firmness and that post-facial glow. Best saved for pre-event skin emergencies or Sunday night self-care.
