Despite a healthy diet, exercise, and a lot of sleep, stress, anxiety, and hormonal changes can leave our skin feeling a little lackluster or dull. Collagen loss is one of the side effects of aging, and can cause the skin to appear hollow and tired. That's where face masks with collagen come in handy. According to Dr. Rachel Nazarian, MD, there is no evidence that applying collagen topically to skin will stimulate collagen under the skin or help with anti-aging. However, collagen face masks can soothe, refresh, and moisturize your skin.
And the good news is, collagen face masks are effective for all skin types, and there are varying products for the different areas of your face, from lips to eyes. While a mask is working its magic on your skin, you can get in some quality self-care like reading a book, watching a movie, or anything that will put your mind (and skin) at ease. Ahead, find 10 collagen face masks you should try.
