Homemade face masks are nothing new, but have you ever tried a homemade collagen face mask?
Let’s explore the benefits of using collagen in your skincare routine and discover our favourite collagen powder face mask recipes.
What are the Benefits of Collagen Powder?
At Vital Proteins, we have a range of collagen powders with collagen peptides at their heart. Collagen provides structure to:
- Skin
- Hair
- Nails
- Bones
- Ligaments
- Tendons
This makes collagen the glue that holds everything together. Our natural collagen supply begins to decline once we reach around age 25, which is why many people choose to use a supplement like a collagen powder to help boost their body’s supply.
How to Use Collagen Powder
Our Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder can be added to hot and cold liquids, as well as some foods (like sauces and baking recipes) to help you to increase your collagen intake as part of your daily routine.
We recommend that you add a serving of our Collagen Peptides Powder to your routine each day to promote a youthful appearance.
Our Beauty Collagen Powder provides another way to work bovine collagen peptides into your routine, alongside Hyaluronic acid and a selection of other beauty-loving ingredients.
Collagen powder doesn’t just have to be added to food and drink though - you can also add it to your beauty routine by making a homemade face mask.
Collagen Powder Face Mask Recipe
We recommend using this collagen powder face mask recipe twice a week to make collagen a regular part of your beauty routine and to allow you to benefit from the other ingredients too.
Here’s how to make your own collagen powder face mask:
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder
