Individually they each contain incredible rejuvenating properties and when combined they make for an undeniably strong skincare pairing.ASTAXANTHIN AND COLLAGEN - POWERFUL SKIN TIGHTENING FOR FACE AND BODY‍

1. Collagen peptides are known to enhance skin firmness, as it provides readily available peptides that the skin cells require in the production of collagen.
2. Secondly,  micro algae sourced Astaxaanthin "the super antioxidant" prevents collagen and elastin breakdown and boosts their capability to assist in collagen synthesis.
3. Read the study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24955642

Therefore, it is no surprise that research reveals that a new supplement combining hydrolysed collagen peptides and astaxanthin (a carotenoid contained in prawns and salmon and the pigment that gives flamingos their pink colour) can help with skin firmness and age prevention. Extensive studies have revealed that the combination of the two nutrients improve skin elasticity, hydration and prevent sun damage, after 12 weeks of use.HOW ASTAXANTHIN + COLLAGEN WORK FOR SKIN FIRMINGIn the skin dermis, studies found that:

1. supplementing with collagen type 1 from marine collagen increased collagen within the cells.
2. enzymes that break down collagen (the metalloproteinases) were reduced with supplementation

The uncovering: the combination of astaxanthin and collagen show promising  for cellulite prevention and skin firming.Skincare creams rich in the same nutrients (collagen-boosting peptides and polyphenols/carotenoids) can be helpful but as an addition to consuming a complete nutrient spectrum as they are not as capable at reaching the deeper layers of the skin dermis.HOW TO REDUCE CELLULITE AND TIGHTEN UP YOUR SKIN‍
