How are hydration, collagen, and beautiful skin related?
Summer. A pleasant season, but one that means higher temperatures, sun exposure, air conditioning, or sports. All of this increases our body's need for hydration. Yet most people only address their fluid intake when they feel thirsty. And by then, it's often too late. Sufficient fluids don't just affect energy, concentration, or fatigue, but also how the skin looks.
Dehydrated skin can appear tight, dull, lifeless, and more sensitive, often highlighting fine lines. Many women then first reach for a more expensive cream, while the true foundation of care begins within.
The skin needs enough water, but also substances that help maintain its normal condition. Important components include collagen, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals that contribute to the normal function of the skin and support collagen production. That is why the concept of "beauty from within" – skin care from the inside out – is increasingly being discussed today.
What role does collagen play?
Collagen is one of the main structural components of the skin (making up approximately 70–80% of the skin's dry weight). However, with increasing age, its natural production gradually decreases, and thus the properties of the skin also change. The skin may then appear less elastic and struggle to maintain its natural appearance.
In recent years, several high-quality clinical studies and meta-analyses focusing on oral collagen and its use in skin care have emerged. Studies show that regular use of hydrolyzed collagen can improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall appearance. Regular use typically involves a longer period (8-12 weeks), as consistency is important for the overall effect.
Collagen alone is not enough
Collagen is important, but in skin care, a combination of multiple active ingredients makes even more sense. It is on this principle that Beggs Beauty Complex Collagen is based, which contains:
And it is on this principle that Beggs Beauty Complex Collagen is based, which contains:
- 5,000 mg of Naticol® fish collagen
- 100 mg of hyaluronic acid
- 30 mg of Ceramosides™ (wheat phytoceramides)
- 85 mg of vitamin C
- 10 mg of zinc
- 10.92 mg of vitamin E
- 100 μg of biotin
Each of these components has its place in the formulation.
- Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to bind water.
- Ceramides are a natural part of the skin's protective barrier and are among the substances that have long been highly valued in skin care.
- Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal skin function.
- Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, and nails.
- Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
- Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Beautiful and healthy-looking skin starts with daily care
Beautiful skin is not the result of a single ingredient or a single cream. It is the result of long-term care, which includes:
- sufficient fluid intake
- a high-quality and varied diet
- sun protection
- regular skin care
- targeted support with substances that are part of a balanced skin routine
So, if you are concerned about skin hydration this summer, consider not only how much water you drink but also the overall care you provide to your skin. It is important that it is part of a daily routine that makes sense long-term.
And this is where hydration, collagen, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, vitamin C, zinc, biotin, and vitamin E meet – substances that can be part of thoughtful skin and complexion care. And this is where Beggs Beauty Complex Collagen also has its place.
