Announcements in the press recently have revealed the newest product on the market for people looking to surpress the signs of aging - the collagen mask. But how does the collagen mask hold up when compared to mope traditional products such as collagen supplements?

At a cost of $800 for an 8 week supply, collagen masks are not the cheapest option for someone looking to replenish their skin with youthful vitality. But nevertheless, the product has been put on the market and the queue for it seems to be forming. In the war on wrinkles, the collagen mask provides an easy to apply solution and the fact that it's simply a paper mask infusing with collagen with buoy some individuals.

No office or clinic appointment is needed either. The application of the mask can be done in the comfort of your own home. Exponents of the collagen mask have said that the mask smoothes the skin instantly and then keeps it that way, According to experts and manufacturers, the collagen mask delivers the collagen deeper into the skin and so is more effective than collagen supplements in that respect.

Skeptics have stated though that they doubt that the collagen mask can be as truly effective as ingested or injected collagen products, with some stating that there's no evidence to show that the collagen in the mask can penetrate the skin when placed topically as opposed to injectable collagen products which penetrate the deeper layers of the skin.

Meanwhile, the old warhorse of the collagen world is the collagen supplement. Pure-col and other such products have been around for a few years and are consistently popular for a number of reasons.

To begin with, the idea of a pill is by far more of an attractive proposition that a facial injection to some and then the benefits of the collagen supplement can also reach into areas such as improved flexibility in joints and ligaments and increased energy levels.

Unlike the collagen mask, Collagen supplements can be purchased for as little as £65 for a 2 month supply and are readily available via the internet. Application of the product is as easy as taking 3 of the collagen pills just before bed - the collagen supplements will go to work while you sleep and your body repairs itself.

As with collagen masks, collagen supplements do not require an appointment with a GP or specialist although it is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women, or children under 12.

The effects of collagen supplements take longer to show than with a collagen mask but with a 3 to 6 month course, you can maintain healthy skin for the long term.

So while collagen masks may well be all the rage at the moment, the longer lasting effects of collagen supplements ensures that ingested collagen won't be going away anytime soon.
