Collagen and skin!

September 2022 focus "beautiful skin" - article 1: Collagen and the skin!

The texture of our artisanal bone broth is not sexy: slimy and gelatinous. However, it's a guarantee of quality and tells you that you'll find collagen! Everyone talks about collagen, but what is it and why is it so important for our skin?

Collagen is a protein naturally present in the body. It is found at the heart of "skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments..." indicates " Passeportsanté ", which points out that it "represents 30 to 35% of total proteins in the body and ensures the cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of all these tissues." We all need it, and collagen diminishes with age.

Here are two tips for improving collagen production in addition to taking broth:

  1. Hydration is essential to boost collagen production. "The more hydrated the skin, the more it promotes the development of collagen and elastin. For hydrated skin, drink plenty of water, eat water-rich foods and moisturize with a good cosmetic product. This month, my broth offers the " well with and in your skin" pack with Ydrosia mist.  
  2. Cut down on sugar! Sugar is almost as bad for the skin as cigarettes. It permanently attaches itself to collagen in the skin through a process called glycation. When collagen is weighed down by glucose, it becomes less supple, resulting in dull, dry skin and accelerated aging. To avoid these effects on the skin, cut down on refined white sugar.
