How to Preserve Collagen In Your Skin
We all know more collagen means fewer wrinkles and smoother skin. But how do we go about boosting collagen in our daily routines? Here are some tips: (1) Protect collagen levels with topical vitamin C. It helps trigger collagen formation and protects your skin from UV damage. (2) Pack on peptides. They are amino acids that serve as building blocks of proteins that help promote elastin and collagen within the skin. (3) Slather on sunscreen. UV exposure leads to the breakdown of collagen, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles. Sunscreen is essential to keeping your skin looking young and springy. (4) Load up on veggies. Eating foods rich in antioxidants can help ward off free radical damage that can degrade collagen.
