Dear community, let's be clear: our skin is our canvas, and collagen is its best ally. But what happens when age, stress, or the sun start to take their toll? Let's take action! This guide not only explains what collagen is, but also how to stimulate its natural production with Lourdes Moreno products, complemented by good habits and supplements. Because here we don't make empty promises; we do science and consistency.
What is collagen and why is it so important?
Collagen is an essential protein that acts as the structural support for our skin, hair, and joints. Over time, its natural production decreases (yes, I know, it's a real pain!), but we can help our bodies generate it again. The key lies in two magic words: stimulation and constant care.
When we stimulate collagen production, we not only improve skin elasticity and firmness, but also achieve a brighter, more youthful appearance. The good news is that there are solutions that work, and you don't need to juggle to incorporate them into your daily routine.
Benefits of collagen: More than just a superficial effect
Collagen isn't just for looking good; it also helps you feel good. Here are its main benefits:
- Firm and elastic skin: Goodbye to sagging skin and hello to facial definition.
- Strong hair and nails: Stimulates regeneration for a healthier look.
- Healthy joints: Perfect if you like to stay active.
- Deep hydration: Helps your skin retain moisture and look brighter.
- Reduction of expression lines: Essential to smooth and prevent wrinkles.
The magic is in the stimulation: How do we achieve it?
Not all collagen solutions are created equal, and at Lourdes Moreno, we know that combining internal and external care is best for spectacular results.
Internal care
- Hydrolyzed collagen supplements: Help regenerate collagen fibers from within. The stick format is convenient and delicious. Recommended: Collagen Rejuvenation - 30 Sticks
- Antioxidants: Protect collagen fibers from oxidative damage. Recommended: Antioxidant Pack
External care
The creams and serums in our line are formulated with active ingredients that naturally stimulate collagen production. They're the perfect complement to a complete routine:
- Retinol: A star active ingredient that works on the deepest layers of the skin, promoting collagen production. Recommended: Retinol Light Routine
- Moisturizers: Strengthen the skin barrier and enhance elasticity. Recommended: LM Moisturizing Collection
- Sun protection: The sun is the number one enemy of collagen. Protection is essential. Recommended: LM Sunscreen Collection
How to incorporate collagen into your routine
An effective routine combines two approaches: internal care with supplements and external care with creams and topical products.
Collagen supplements
Hydrolyzed supplements are ideal because their small peptide format facilitates absorption. Take them daily, mixed with water, shakes, etc.
What to look for in a supplement?
- Hydrolyzed collagen peptides.
- Supplements such as vitamin C, which enhances its synthesis.
- Practical formats such as sticks or powders.
Creams and serums that stimulate collagen production
Topical products work on the skin's surface, improving its hydration and softness. Look for formulas that include:
- Retinol: Stimulates collagen production.
- Hyaluronic acid: Hydrates and improves elasticity.
- Antioxidants such as vitamin E, which protect against environmental damage.
Practical advice: Use the creams in the morning and at night, after thoroughly cleansing your skin, to maximize the benefits.

Table of Actions: Supplements vs. Stimulant Creams
When it comes to taking care of your skin, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Supplements and boosting creams are like a dynamic duo : each has its role, and together they achieve incredible results. While supplements work from within to strengthen and regenerate, creams work on the surface, hydrating and improving texture. Here's a table to help you understand how they complement each other, so you can get the most out of your routine. Because your skin deserves the best of both worlds!

Habits to boost results
We know products work magic, but that magic needs a good stage to shine. This is where your daily habits come into play: small gestures that make a big difference.
- Sun protection: SPF is a must if you want to protect the collagen you're working so hard to stimulate.
- Balanced diet: Full of antioxidants and vitamin C. Include citrus fruits, peppers, and lysine-rich foods like eggs and lean meats.
- Hydration: Drink enough water to maintain your skin's elasticity.
- Avoid tobacco: Tobacco accelerates collagen loss.
- Get a good night's sleep: Regeneration happens while you sleep. Give your skin the 8 hours it needs!
