Why Your Skincare Routine Isn't Working Anymore

Dermatologists are uncovering the deeper reason behind dull, tired skin - and it has nothing to do with moisturisers or serums. It begins inside your body - with collagen loss.

When Topical Beauty Reaches Its Limit

Most of us believe great skin is about what we apply. A serum here, a night cream there - chasing hydration, glow, and youthfulness through endless layers.

But even with consistent care, many women notice the same thing: their skin still looks tired. The glow fades faster, fine lines deepen, and no amount of product seems to restore that fresh, luminous feeling.

Dermatologists now believe the reason isn't in your routine - it's in your biology. The deeper layers of your skin, where firmness and elasticity begin, can't be reached by topical products alone.

Your Skin's Foundation Is Fading - Quietly

Beneath the surface, your skin's structure relies on collagen - the protein that gives it shape, firmness, and natural lift.

After the age of 25, your body's collagen production begins to slow by around 1% each year. By your 30s, the effects start to appear:

  • Fine lines that once smoothed overnight stay visible
  • Makeup settles differently
  • Skin feels thinner, less elastic, and more easily dehydrated

What's happening isn't surface-level dryness - it's a gradual loss of internal structure.

Why Modern Life Speeds It Up

Beyond time itself, daily habits and environmental stressors can accelerate collagen loss.

High sugar intake, caffeine, pollution, and stress all contribute to oxidative damage - breaking down collagen fibers faster than your body can rebuild them.

Even poor sleep or skipping hydration can slow your skin's natural repair cycle. The result is a quiet but consistent loss of glow, texture, and tone.

For years, the solution was to add more products. Now, science suggests it's time to think differently - to rebuild from within.

A New Approach to Radiance

Across the world, scientists and beauty innovators are turning their focus inward - to the nutritional science of skin.

Studies have shown that hydrolyzed collagen peptides, when consumed, can travel through the bloodstream and stimulate natural collagen production within the dermis. Unlike serums or creams, they target the source of elasticity and firmness directly.

This new movement is called ingestible skincare - a blend of science and self-care that supports the skin's foundation, not just its surface.
