Is a collagen diet the answer to younger-looking skin you have been looking for? Let's take a look at the facts.
A collagen diet can be a regimen to loose weight, or to make your skin younger-looking.
It means you take supplements with collagen from animal sources, like bovine collagen.
There are also plenty of anti-aging skin creams with bovine collagen added to them.
But the truth is that collagen protein can not be absorbed by the skin neither through supplement pills or collagen creams.
The collagen molecules are too big to get absorbed by the skin if you use a collagen cream.
You can have another take on the collagen diet though; it can be a diet that boosts your own collagen production.
By eating an antioxidant rich diet, with lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits, you can both make your skin firmer and smoother, and achieve your ideal weight.
You should go about the anti-aging skincare products in the same way, do not use creams with collagen added to them, but creams that will boost your body's own collagen production.
The skincare creams that will increase your collagen are made of completely natural ingredients, so they will be beneficial for your health even if you use them your whole life.
Many of the regular skincare products can have harmful effects and make you look older, if you use them for a prolonged time.
Only buy creams with high amounts of ingredients that are proven effective.
The ingredients should in other words be clinically tested, and proven to increase the production of collagen in the skin.
