Collagen

Did you know you can boost the collagen production in your skin WITHOUT surgery or harsh chemicals? 

Strong collagen explains why a baby’s skin is firm, supple and silky. By age 35 collagen has reached it’s peak. Failure to care for your collagen can end up making you look older than your years. Things that reduce collagen production are long exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun, exposure to herbicides, chlorine and other chemicals, as well as smoking, breathing in smog and experiencing emotional stress.

In addition, sugar isn’t so sweet for the skin tone. Too much glucose in the blood can react with collagen molecules, damaging them. Fight free radicals that damage collagen by eating a healthful, balanced diet rich in antioxidants such as the lutein found in dark-green leafy vegetables.

Lycopene, found in red fruits and vegetables, helps the body produce more collagen. And your diet should include the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon and herring as well as fish and krill oils, plus lots of protein.

Give your skin a NATURAL boost of collagen with these helpful tips.
