As adults who prioritize our health, we often focus on diet, exercise, and regular check-ups. However, one crucial aspect that sometimes gets overlooked is the vital role collagen plays in maintaining the health and appearance of our skin. In this blog, your friends here at Karuna delve into the fundamentals of collagen and how our bestselling Collagen Hydrogel Masks are an absolute must-have when elevating your age-defying skincare routine.
Collagen's use in skincare dates back centuries, with ancient civilizations utilizing animal-derived collagen for various beauty purposes. In the 20th century, advancements in science led to a deeper understanding of collagen's structure and function within the skin. Today, collagen is recognized as a key protein responsible for providing structural support, elasticity, and firmness to the skin.
Hydrolyzed Collagen: This type of collagen is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier for the body to absorb.
Collagen Peptides: These are even smaller fragments of collagen, known for their high bioavailability and potential to stimulate collagen production in the skin.
Marine Collagen: Derived from fish scales or skin, marine collagen is considered to be more bioavailable and sustainable compared to other sources.
Bovine Collagen: Sourced from cows, bovine collagen is a widely available and affordable option.
Vegan Collagen: Plant-based alternatives to animal-derived collagen, these typically utilize ingredients like algae or yeast to mimic collagen's effects on the skin.
Collagen offers multifaceted benefits for skin health and appearance:
Improved Skin Elasticity: Collagen helps maintain skin's firmness and suppleness, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Enhanced Skin Hydration: Collagen attracts and retains moisture, promoting a plump and hydrated complexion.
Reduced Signs of Aging: By supporting skin structure and elasticity, collagen helps combat sagging skin and age spots.
Strengthened Hair and Nails: Collagen is also a vital component of hair and nails, contributing to their strength and health.
The easiest way to begin incorporating the rejuvenating, glass skin-promoting benefits into your skincare routine is with Karuna’s Collagen Hydrogel Masks for Face, Neck & Decollete.

Did you know.. Hydrogel stands out as a superior technology in sheet masks due to its unique ability to deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. Unlike traditional cotton or fiber masks, Hydrogel masks are made of a gel-like material that closely adheres to the skin, creating an occlusive barrier that locks in moisture and allows for optimal absorption of active ingredients.
