For a fresh youthful face, educating oneself on the benefits of collagen can carry benefits that positively affect the entire body.
With the help of a dermatologist, including retinol in your skincare regimen is a foolproof way to promote skin cell turnover and collagen production which reduces signs of aging, minimizes the appearance of pores, and improves skin texture and tone.
In addition to playing a huge role in supporting your body’s joint health, flexibility, wound healing, and tissue repair collagen is the leader in maintaining skin elasticity. Including whole foods rich in Vitamin C and protein like kale,blueberries, grapefruits, salmon, tuna, and raw nuts is essential for collagen consumption.
Carefully including retinoids (retinal) into your skincare regimen will assist in boosting collagen production with these products being traditionally applied as a topical cream or serum.
For preventative care, use your sunscreen! Sun damage contributes to a major loss of collagen by activating enzymes that break down existing collagen as well as interferes with collagen production which can lead to an increase in wrinkles and sagging skin.
