Benefits of Collagen Face Masks

Yearning for a spa facial… but don’t have the time or the money?

Then try using a gold collagen mask at home!

It is almost like having a spa facial!

If you need to rehydrate and relax… it’s one of our favorite ways to do it. The beautiful Nancy Reagan 24K Gold Collagen Face Mask is truly made of pure gold. We think it is one of the best things that you can put on your face. Try pairing it with a bubble bath, perhaps a glass of tea or wine, and treat yourself to a nice night!

What is Collagen?

Collagen is the ingredient in your skin that provides both firmness and elasticity. It is essential to keep looking young and revived. As you get older and lose your collagen supply, your skin begins to sag or create wrinkled lines along the surface… leading to those dreaded wrinkles we all want to get rid of. Supporting your skin’s collagen is one of the best ways to keep it looking firm. A collagen face mask is an elegant, royal-feeling way to hydrate and plump the skin at home, even if you don’t have the time to visit the spa for a full facial.

What will a Collagen Mask Do for You?

Collagen face masks are the latest rage in-home care masks especially for reducing the signs of aging. Collagen is what is lost as the skin ages. It is responsible for holding together the tissues (the elastin and fibroblasts). Collagen is actually a protein that accounts for 25-35% of the protein in the body. Collagen is what our skin uses to keep it firm and springy. Sometimes anti-aging experts will refer to collagen as the glue. Can you believe that we start losing collagen around the age of 25?

So, what can a mask applied to the face do? A topical collagen face mask, such as a collagen sheet mask, holds moisture against the skin (because the mask is occlusive). Collagen itself mostly works on the surface, where it attracts water and leaves skin softer and plumper-looking. Paired with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides, a weekly collagen mask is a lovely way to keep skin hydrated and looking more youthful.

Collagen face masks can be a gel mask or cream. The preference at Bella Reina Spa is the gel collagen mask, because the liquid collagen is high quality, and combined with the hyaluronic acid, it will absorb into the skin faster.

Collagen Masks also:

• Gives the skin topical collagen for softness and suppleness

• Pairs well with peptides that support your skin’s own collagen

• Hydrates and plumps up the skin

• Due to Hyaluronic Acid, the use of a collagen mask attracts moisture to the skin

• Softens the look of fine lines, crow’s feet, and rough skin for a smoother texture

• Affordable at-home spa treatment that nourishes the skin

Spa VS at Home:

The difference between having a collagen mask treatment at a spa versus at home is 2-fold. The treatment at the spa may consist of a facial massage prior to application of the mask. This prepares the skin to make the most of the ingredients. Secondly, the esthetician chooses the mask and serums for your skin that day. At the spa, you can also get a collagen face mask after your favorite facial such as a Dermaplane Facial or HydraFacial MD.
