I had no idea how much of my forties would be spent thinking about collagen banking 😆 but here we are, and honestly, it makes perfect sense.
Collagen is what gives our skin its structure, elasticity and firmness, and from our mid-twenties onwards, we start to lose around 1% of it every year. By the time you reach your forties, that slow, steady loss begins to show - a little less lift, a little more laxity, and that subtle change in skin texture that’s hard to describe but easy to see.
Collagen banking isn’t about chasing youth; it’s about preserving and strengthening what you already have. Think of it as investing in your future skin - helping it stay resilient, plump and luminous for years to come.
Some of my favourite ways to build and protect collagen include:
✨ Sculptra – a true collagen stimulator that rebuilds structure and volume gradually for beautifully natural results.
✨ Polynucleotides – these work at a cellular level to improve skin quality and regeneration.
✨ Microneedling and Morpheus8 – both trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and tightening the skin.
✨ Retinol – the gold standard in skincare for long-term collagen support and smoother texture.
✨ SPF – because even the best treatments can’t outwork daily sun damage. Protecting your investment is non-negotiable.
Collagen banking is one of the most powerful things you can do for your skin in your thirties, forties and beyond. It’s about long-term strength, not short-term fixes.
