Collagen is a protein naturally found in the body, especially in the skin, bones, muscles, and connective tissues. It gives skin its structure, firmness, and elasticity. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and thinner skin. Implementing collagen both to your skin and ingesting it, helps to replace the protein that naturally depletes as we age.

✨Topical Collagen Benefits In Skincare Products ✨

1. Hydration Boost: Many collagen-containing products include ingredients that help retain moisture, improving skin plumpness and softness.
2. Improved Elasticity: Topical collagen may temporarily smooth and firm the skin’s surface, though it doesn’t replace lost collagen deep in the skin.
3. Smoother Texture: Collagen-enriched products can make the skin feel smoother and reduce the appearance of fine lines and dry patches.
4. Support for Skin Barrier: Some formulations with collagen can strengthen the skin barrier, helping to protect against environmental damage and irritation.

Rebirth by Keisha prioritizes collagen as a key ingredient to ensure your skincare routine is as elevated as possible.

How Is Collagen Important Both Outside & In.

Topical collagen doesn't penetrate deeply enough to directly replace the collagen we lose with time & age. However ingesting collagen peptides are a great way to ensure you’re receiving collagen internally – this will compliment the external approach of our skincare (namely retinol).

Collagen peptides offer a variety of benefits, particularly for skin, joints, and overall health. Here are some key advantages:

✨ Collagen Peptides ✨

1. Skin Health

• Improves skin elasticity – Makes skin firmer and more supple
• Reduces wrinkles and fine lines – Studies show visible reduction in aging signs with consistent use (often within 8–12 weeks)
• Increases skin hydration – Helps skin retain moisture, especially in dry or mature skin
• Supports dermal structure – Enhances collagen density and strength under the skin surface
• Promotes healing – May speed up skin recovery and regeneration

2. Joint Health

• Supports cartilage repair
• Reduces joint pain and stiffness
• May improve mobility in people with osteoarthritis

3. Bone Strength

• Enhances bone density
• Supports bone structure by maintaining the collagen matrix in bones

4. Muscle Mass

• Supports muscle repair and growth
• Helps preserve lean muscle mass, especially with age

5. Hair and Nails

• Strengthens nails and reduces brittleness
• Supports healthier, shinier hair growth

6. Gut Health

• May help support the intestinal lining
• Potentially beneficial for leaky gut and digestive health

7. Heart Health

Overall, collagen peptides are a great supplement for supporting skin, joints, bones, and overall well-being as part of a balanced health routine.
