Have you ever considered what keeps the skin looking dewy, fresh, plump and firm? As the building block for the skin and body, the powerful protein that is Collagen works to create a strong body as well as cell structure. With 4 key benefits and a tailored edit, this is why Collagen is your skin’s answer to youthful skin.
IMPROVES SKIN HEALTH
As the building block for the skin, collagen is key component when considering great skin health, as well as strengthening the skin it also benefits in the increase in elasticity and hydration. As you age, you naturally produce less collagen and this leads to dryer skin and the formation of lines and wrinkles. Incorporating products that repair and protect the skin into your routine will aid in the prevention rather than cure. The Reparative range is specifically designed to focus on repairing and strengthening the skin, formulated with antioxidants and NAC Y2 as well as collagen, the ingredients will work to reduce fine lines, flushing and create a plumping effect.
The Y Theorem Repair Light Serum NAC Y2 and Y Theorem Day Light Cream NAC Y2 are two efficient and effective light weight products that will work to strengthen the skin but also stimulate collagen production. The Y Theorem Repair Light Serum NAC Y2 packs the same strength that the original serum produces but lightweight and water-like in texture, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, treats uneven skin tone and brightens the complexion. Similarly, the Y Theorem Day Cream Light NAC Y2 protects and promotes healthy and younger looking skin with NAC Y2, a vitamin complex that fortifies and helps to repair damaged skin and hyaluronic acid that hydrates and plumps the complexion. Together both serum and moisturiser are infused with the key ingredient that is NAC Y2..
RELIEVES JOINT PAIN
Not just for the skin, Collagen helps to maintain the cartilage that protects your joints and therefore reduce joint pain. Some studies have shown that taking collagen in a supplement format helps to improve the symptoms of joint pain.
STRENGTHENS BONES
Made mostly of collagen, your bones can feel the effects when natural collagen production decreases. As the collagen in your body deteriorates as you age so does bone mass and therefore keeping them strong and giving bones structure will help you in the longrun.
OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS
Aside from improving skin health, relieving joint pain and strengthening bones, Collagen can help increase the strength of your hair and nails, gut health, brain health and may increase metabolism.

LOOKING THE PART
Whilst we all want to lounge in our pyjamas, sometimes wearing a smarter top takes away from the fact that we working from home and still dressing in a nice but comfortable top as though you were leaving for the office creates the sense of a routine even if it is remote.
If you were to advise a London guide, what would be on your list?
Well, As I grew up in Notting Hill, it will always have my heart and if I was recommending spots in London, a wander around Notting Hill would be high up on my list. From there it would be all the best shopping destinations, the iconic private members club, Annabels, Harrods and Liberty’s for any cute and unique gifts. I would always pop into 111CRYO at Harrods for the Cryo Facial and treatment for the ultimate recharge. Sometimes the city is great, but the beautiful secrets of the English countryside is something that should be experienced.
Your In-Flight Essentials?
I don’t have a routine per say and I am certainly not as thorough as Naomi Campbell but I would apply the Meso Infusion Lip Duo and I would always wipe my phone down with anti-bacterial wipes, in fact I do this every day, the bacteria build up is no good for the skin.
In terms of Industry, where do you see the hair industry going?
Well Instagram has changed so much and has impacted the way we consume and learn within the industry, especially with so many creatives, but I still find that a massive amount of people come to the professionals to share the knowledge on how to carry out or complete a desired look, more than ever there is power behind ‘how-to’ videos.
A very valid point and in terms of 2020?
In terms of what we are to see in 2020, things are going to be super creative and we will see a wider awareness for people doing their own thing and it will be expressive and artistic. People will move away from the overtly glamorous looks and will create looks they can tailor to their everyday. As it’s currently Award Season which is the busiest time of the year leading up to the Met Ball, hairstyles are certainly more elaborate, and everyone loves an up do. I would say the most timeless look has to be the blunt bob, it comes around year on year, but it is effortless and timeless.
Outside of hair, what other industries are you into?
I am hugely into Interiors and I would describe my style as 60s/70s glamour, think elaborate and dramatic but I often fantasise about 80s Dallas and Joan Collins and I have to reign myself in. I also love Baking; it is the ultimate way to relax and I find that it is my meditation and therapy. If I’m in the USA I would bake a lot of cookies as everyone is obsessed with then over here and in the UK, I would bake more traditional styles like a lemon tart or an apple tart – it allows for me to be creative outside of my job.
Finally, the best advice you have ever received?
It would have to be from my grandfather, he would often say to me “it’s not how well you’re doing but how well people think you’re doing”. I haven’t successfully implemented it however you can look to Instagram today and people see our work and are blown away by it, but we can be so hard on ourselves and not appreciate our own work ourselves.
