Collagen holds our bodies together. It is the most abundant protein in the body and accounts for about 85 per cent of the skin, muscles and connective tissues. The smooth, plump appearance of young, healthy skin is due largely to the presence of healthy collagen levels. However, Collagen levels drop at a rate of 1.5 per cent a year after the age of 25.

It is the breakdown of healthy collagen and the slowing in collagen production that leads to the development of unwanted wrinkles and ageing skin. Collagen gives the skin its strength, durability, and smooth, plump appearance. That’s why it’s important to protect and promote collagen growth from an early age.

The best way to maintain a healthy, youthful looking appearance is to protect the healthy collagen you currently have and to prevent future collagen degradation. There are two main ways to do this: 1) avoid UVA and UVB radiation and 2) prevent free radical damage.

One of the most effective ways to promote the synthesis of new, healthy collagen is to provide the skin with ample vitamin C. As a necessary cofactor in collagen synthesis, vitamin C increases the production of collagen by as much as 8-fold.

Another way to promote the synthesis of collagen is to use chemical exfoliants, such as Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which slough away dead skin cells. Consistent exfoliation with AHAs stimulates cell renewal.

A third way to promote collagen synthesis is to supplement with collagen stimulating peptides to help boost collagen production.

JK Secret Cosmeceutics contain all 3 of these active ingredients – Vitamin C, AHAs and Peptides – in abundant quantities to boost collagen production and help keep your skin smooth and wrinkle free.

The triple helix structure of the native Collagen used in JK Secret Cosmeceutic products imparts active moisture to the skin. It is non-irritating and can be used safely on sensitive skins.

JK Secret Cosmeceutics products contain Halal certified Collagen as an ultra pure grade of Collagen.
