Do you ever wake up on some days and feel like your skin could do with a little extra spark of something? It’s normal for the skin to look tired and sallow at times due to hormonal changes, fluctuations in temperature and humidity and even a lack of proper sleep. As of right now, collagen facials are fast gaining popularity here in Singapore for those looking to give their skin an instant boost of radiance and vitality. The plus side? No more “you look tired” comments from well-intentioned friends and colleagues!

Need an instant boost of radiance? Collagen facials may be just what you’re looking for!

What is a collagen facial?

First, let’s talk about collagen! Collagen is a vital protein that is found in abundance in the body. In fact, it accounts for about a third of the body’s overall protein content. Some of its sole functions include upholding our skin’s structural integrity and clotting our blood during an injury. On top of that, it serves as a crucial building block for our muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments. It’s kind of like a glue that holds everything together to keep everything smooth and fluid – like a well-oiled machine. However, our bodies tend to produce less collagen as we age and this leads to signs of ageing like sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles.

Collagen is a protein that upholds the structure and elasticity of our skin.

Enter collagen facials! The sole purpose of collagen facial treatments is to replenish our skin’s collagen reserves to restore the overall health and radiance of our skin. When combined with acid exfoliants, collagen facials are an effective way to revitalize and reenergize the surface of the skin. As a result, the skin looks brighter, smoother and plump with moisture.

The benefits of a collagen facial

Thinking of trying a collagen facial out for yourself? Here are some of the benefits that it offers:

Intense moisture

Hydrated skin is healthy skin!

Topical application of collagen gives the skin an instant surge of moisture especially when it goes hand in hand with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps to attract moisture to the skin and this helps to further enhance the hydrating benefits and efficacy of collagen in facial treatments.

Reduces signs of ageing

Collagen facials help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Because of its intense hydrating benefits, collagen is great for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles and improving the overall texture of the skin. In addition, it also helps to balance the oil and moisture levels in the skin which in turn reduces the appearance of large pores.

Activates cell turnover

Collagen facials help to detoxify the pores and resurface the outer layers of the epidermis.

When combined with acid exfoliants, collagen facials can help to detoxify the pores by eliminating the buildup of dead skin cells and debris on the surface of the skin. This in turn kickstarts the cell turnover process to reveal the fresh new layer of skin underneath.

Slows down natural collagen degradation

Applying collagen topically helps to fortify the natural collagen that’s present in your skin.

Next, collagen facials usually include an intensive face and neck massage using skincare products that contain collagen and other active ingredients. This entire process encourages blood circulation and protects your skin’s existing collagen by neutralizing free radicals.

Evens out the skin tone

Exfoliation and collagen treatments together help restore the health and vitality of your skin.

Last but not least, the rejuvenating effects of a thorough cleanse, exfoliation and massage using collagen-infused skincare give the skin a brighter and more radiant appearance. Additionally, having collagen facials regularly help to even out your skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation over time.

The procedure

A warm and welcoming space greets you at Peel and Glow Beauty salon in Singapore.
The relaxing and luxurious art deco style interior at Peel and Glow.

Before starting the Nutri-Peptide treatment, an aesthetician will usher you into one of the calm and relaxing private rooms at Peel and Glow. You will be given a comfortable robe to change into and the aesthetician will start by giving your skin a thorough cleanse. After cleansing, the aesthetician will exfoliate your skin with a 16% lactic acid peel and a combination of glycolic and salicylic acid. These active acids help to evenly exfoliate the skin and detoxify the pores to prep it for the next steps. Once your skin has been exfoliated, the aesthetician will proceed to prep your skin with a 10-minute massage using a Nutri-Peptide Skin Booster of your choice. After your skin has been thoroughly prepped, you will be given a soothing and indulgent collagen facial massage using GIGI’s Nutri-Peptide skincare range. Overall, the treatment takes about 60 minutes.

To maintain gorgeous glowing skin, it is best to have this facial at least once or twice a month. After each treatment, the skin feels instantly plump with moisture and the contours of the face look firmer and more defined.
