Collagen is the most plentiful protein in your body. It is a hard, insoluble and fibrous protein which holds together your whole body. Did you know that it provides the strength and structure of your body? You have collagen in your bones, muscles, skin and tendons. The collagen that your body creates plays a lot of important roles in your health.

But we are just going to talk about the Collagen of your skin. In the middle layer, which is called the dermis, collagen helps form a fibrous network so that new cells can grow. It is also needed in the replacement and restoration of your dead skin cells.

As we age, collagen production naturally declines which reduces the structural integrity of your skin which can lead to sagging skin and those dreadful wrinkles.

You could get injections of collagen to improve the contours of your skin and to fill out the depressions of wrinkles. But that is costly and painful.

At Acti-Labs, we have several products that can help you’re with sagging skin, wrinkles, dark circles under your eyes and more. And with a routine of using these products, you can take steps to help your skin stay supple and fresh-looking.

Collagen is a form of protein whose main feature is a tensile strength found in various parts of the human body, skin inclusive. The elasticity and the strength of the human skin are attributed to the presence of collagen proteins. The quantity of collagen or lack of it in our skin determines its appearance.
