What is collagen and how can it help ageing?

The skin care shelves are heaving with products containing collagen. This wonder ingredient promises to turn back the hands of time, giving you younger skin, more youthful features and a firmer, plumper complexion.

But what is collagen and how does it work?

According to BeautyBrains, the word collagen comes from two Greek terms: kolla meaning “glue” and gen meaning “producing.” That’s because glue was originally made by boiling horse skin. It makes sense that collagen has glue-like properties considering the role it plays in biology – it’s a type of connective tissue that helps other structures “stick” together. In skin, collagen is part of the matrix that keeps it firm and plump and most people know that when skin loses collagen you develop wrinkles.
