Collagen is a natural component of our skin, playing a crucial role in maintaining its elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, causing skin sagging and wrinkles. The addition of collagen cream to your skincare routine can help replenish our natural levels of this vital protein, with the help of powerful plant ingredients.

By improving elasticity, hydration and overall skin texture, collagen skincare can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen cream also enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture, in turn contributing to a plumper and smoother complexion. Additionally, collagen skincare helps strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, shielding it from environmental harm.

By boosting cell regeneration, collagen cream also aids in repairing already damaged skin. It can reduce the appearance of pores, promoting more radiant, youthful looking skin for those looking to always feel their best.

Understanding how to use the Extra-Firming range effectively centres around application and consistent use. Begin by cleansing your face to remove dirt, oil and makeup. Then, exfoliation is the 1st beauty step to achieve firm skin. Carried out once or twice a week, it gently removes dead cells. Clarins exfoliating range is ideal for this. Next, applying Cryo-Flash Cream Mask, Clarins first rejuvenating mask using the cold, is super effective to fight signs of ageing and help restore smooth, firm, radiant skin. Once you remove the face mask, pat your skin dry, then apply a serum.

Before collagen skincare, a Vitamin C serum may be applied first to further improve the skin’s ability to produce collagen and brighten the complexion. Niacinamide also works harmoniously with collagen cream, as it enhances the skin's barrier function and boosts overall skin health, while Hyaluronic acid promotes hydration.

The next step is applying the Extra-Firming day cream. Clarins mixologie is the art of mixing two products. Combining the Beauty Flash Balm with Extra-Firming day cream you’ll see spectacular results. Skin is visibly smoothed, and instantly radiant.

Use the spa@home method to apply the product for the best results. Warm cream in the hands, then apply from the middle of the face to the sides, with the whole surface of the hands. Then carry out draining-pressure movements from the middle to the sides of the face.

Apply the Extra-Firming day cream in the morning and the Extra-Firming night cream in the evening before bed. During the day, it is best to pair collagen skincare with sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage, which can accelerate collagen breakdown. Collagen cream benefits work best when the product is used consistently as part of your overall routine, giving your skin time to absorb the product.

Collagen production naturally starts to decline around the age of 25, which can cause signs of aging, such as fine lines and sagging skin. It is generally recommended to start using skincare from this age onwards to activate cream benefits early.

For some, wrinkles, skin sagging or dryness may appear earlier due to factors such as sun exposure, stress or smoking, in which case collagen cream should be introduced from an earlier age.

Due to the versatility of the product, it’s never too late to start using collagen cream. Even if your skin has already started showing signs of aging, collagen skincare can still provide significant benefits. When applied consistently, the product can yield noticeable results at any age, helping to rejuvenate the skin by promoting elasticity, hydration and a more youthful complexion.

In addition to skincare, other active ingredients can further combat the signs of aging, allowing you to feel more radiant and youthful.
