Skin Architects: Collagen and Elastin. How to Maintain Youthfulness Longer?
Our skin is an amazing organ whose structure and youthfulness are maintained by two main proteins: collagen and elastin. If we compared the skin to a house, collagen would be its strong foundation and walls, while elastin would be the springs that allow everything to return to its place after moving. Starting from around the age of 25, collagen production in the body begins to decrease by about 1% per year, and elastin fibers become brittle. The result? Fine lines, dryness, and a loss of firmness. In this article, we will explore why this "duo" is so essential and how proper care can help your skin regain its natural resilience. What are Collagen and Elastin? Collagen: Skin Strength. This is the most abundant protein in our body. In the skin, collagen fibers form a dense network that provides volume and prevents sagging. It is responsible for making the skin firm and "plump." Elastin: Skin Memory. As the name suggests, elastin gives the skin its elasticity. It allows the skin to stretch (for example, when smiling) and immediately return to its original state. Without elastin, the skin becomes loose, and expression lines begin to form. The Aging Process: Why Do We Lose Them? From approximately age 25, collagen production starts to decline by about 1% annually. Elastin production practically stops after puberty, and existing fibers become brittle over time. The Main "Enemies": UV Radiation: Breaks down collagen fibers (photoaging). Glycation: Sugar consumption makes collagen "stiff" and brittle. Moisture Loss: Dehydrated skin cannot maintain its structure. The Solution: A Two-Step Ritual from Green Wing To regain skin firmness, one ingredient is not enough. Synergy is required – hydration, protein replenishment, and nourishment. To help your skin recover its natural architecture, Green Wing products utilize science-based, high-quality raw materials: marine collagen and bioactive elastin. Step 1: Intensive Renewal with Collagen Serum Our DEEP SEA Lift Serum is designed to provide an instant boost to tired skin. Soluble Collagen: Helps attract moisture to the skin's surface, visually smoothing fine lines and providing a "plumping" effect. Wild Raspberry Leaf Water: A powerful antioxidant that tones and protects cells. Laminaria Digitata (Brown Seaweed) Extract: A boost of marine minerals that promotes skin regeneration. Lactobacillus Ferment: Probiotics that balance the skin microbiome, ensuring a healthy protective barrier. Step 2: The Secret of Elasticity with Elastin Facial Oil After applying the serum, it is important to lock in moisture and further nourish the skin with lipids and elastin, provided by our Facial Oil with Elastin and Algae Extract. Hydrolyzed Elastin: Interacts effectively with the skin's surface, improving elasticity and softness. Sweet Almond Oil: Enriches the skin with vitamins, making it silky smooth. Vitamin E (Tocopherols): Prevents free radicals from breaking down your natural collagen. Laminaria Digitata Extract in Oil: Ensures that the brown seaweed works even in the oil phase to improve skin firmness. How to Use for Best Results? Morning/Evening: Apply 2–3 drops of the DEEP SEA Lift Serum to a cleansed face. Gently pat it into the skin while it is still damp. Massage: Before the serum has completely dried, apply a few drops of the Facial Oil with Elastin and Algae Extract. Perform a gentle massage from the center of the face outwards and upwards – this will stimulate blood circulation and help the ingredients work more effectively. The Result: Skin that is nourished, elastic, and protected against premature aging. Our Advice: Remember that skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. Regularly replenishing collagen and elastin in your daily routine is the best gift you can give your skin today. Why is This Duo Perfect for You? We believe in "Clean-label" formulas – natural, pure, and transparent. By using the Green Wing collagen and elastin system, you gain: Deep Hydration: Improved moisture levels and a strong skin barrier. Restored Elasticity: Skin becomes more resilient and firm. A Sustainable Choice: We use bioactive ingredients that are safe for you and the environment. Why do we use Marine Collagen? Superior Absorption: Thanks to the hydrolysis process, large collagen molecules are broken down into smaller subunits. This ensures excellent solubility and the ability to interact more effectively with the skin. Wrinkle Reduction: It directly replenishes the skin's protein reserves, visibly reducing signs of aging and improving skin smoothness. Deep Moisturization: Collagen acts as a moisture magnet, maintaining skin vitality and preventing it from becoming dry and dull. DEEP SEA Lift Serum Star Ingredients: Soluble marine collagen, Wild raspberry leaf water, Laminaria Digitata extract, and probiotics (Lactobacillus). Why do we use this Unique Elastin? Dual Action: This ingredient combines hydrolyzed elastin (derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) with coconut oil fatty acids. This combination not only improves elasticity but also creates a protective barrier against environmental stress. Smart Peptides: The small peptides created through enzymatic hydrolysis easily penetrate the skin, promoting firmness and resilience where it's needed most. Anti-Aging Power: It helps replenish the loss of elastin caused by age or UV rays, visually lifting the facial contour and smoothing wrinkles. Facial Oil with Elastin and Algae Extract Star Ingredients: Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Elastin, Sweet almond oil, Vitamin E, and Laminaria Digitata oil extract. Restore your skin’s glow and firmness with the power of nature and science!
