When you think of anti-aging products, what age tends to come to mind? Probably somewhere around 40, 50 or 60, right? Did you know, though, that you start to lose around 1-percent of the collagen in your skin every year after age 20? Your twenties may seem a little early to get started on anti-aging, but it is the perfect time to start protecting your skin against the dreaded collagen decline.
Collagen is one of the key components to keeping our skin youthful and radiant, and once it starts to degrade, it's not always easy to restore. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Neutrogena's latest launch of collagen banking creams takes that statement to heart; it's loaded with peptides to protect and maintain the skin's natural collagen. Ahead of the launch, the brand tapped Academy Award-nominated actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld to test its two new products, and now she attributes them to her glowing complexion.
Hailee Steinfeld on Neutrogena's New Collagen Bank Moisturizers
At 27, Steinfeld is the perfect age to get in on collagen banking cream, and with skin as radiant as hers (I mean, she hasn't aged a day since the years of Pitch Perfect), I'd use pretty much anything she recommends. At the launch event for Neutrogena's new Collagen Bank Daily Face Moisturizer ($30) and Collagen Bank Daily Face Moisturizer SPF 30 ($30), Steinfeld shared her personal experience with collagen banking, noting that she was "shocked to learn" that we lose up to one percent of our collagen every year in our 20s. "I'm particularly grateful to be joining Neutrogena for this launch," she began, "It really helps you save that collagen before the signs of aging begin. I've been using this product for a while now I've incorporated it into my skin-care routine and I have already noticed a difference. My skin is plump and glowing day in and day out, and I noticed a difference almost right away." [Editor's note: I got to talk to Hailee up close at the event and can attest her skin is quite literally perfect.]
