Collagen Levels And Your Skin

By Jacob King


Have you recently looked in the mirror just to find the unpleasant reminder of age staring back at you? If you are like most people, you can probably come up with a million reasons as to those wrinkles and sagging skin ranging from being outside too much all the way to having too much stress in your younger years. Regardless of the reason, we all know it is a very disturbing sight.

I do have some good news for you, however. There are a few things you can do now, no matter what age you are, to prevent this from being too extreme and minimize the effects of aging. What makes it even better is that I will not be talking to you about invasive or painful surgeries. The techniques I am interested in are all natural and pain free.

We need to start off by understanding what causes the adverse effects of aging and what causes wrinkles or sagging skin to begin with. Being equipped with the proper knowledge is what allows us to be successful.

The most important thing when it comes to your skins structure and firmness is the existence of collagens. Collagens are the sole reason for your skins elasticity, firmness, and structure. It is a protein that is naturally produced by your body. However, as all things, production slows down with age. Once this happens, your skin will become weak and thin which will result in fine lines and wrinkles.

Do you want to know how to stop this from happening? Of course you do. Well, you could go out and get an injection of skin cell fat, maybe something like botox. Also, you could have plastic surgery. That is of course ridiculous though. I do not want you to do that. I do not want you to go through pain just to look younger. Let's explore some better options.

Forget all of that junk. Bury those ideas and never dig them back up.

How about trying some collagen supplements? There are pills and liquids that you could take to increase your collagen levels.

I do want you to keep in mind prior to running out to the store and grabbing the first collagen supplement you see on the shelf that these are not regulated by the FDA and do not undergo the same testing as drugs do. That being said, you may want to think hard on your decision and decide if this is truly the best option for you. I can say that you should increase your vitamin c intake as well as this encourages collagen growth and will enhance your results.

I would say that the supplement option is probably best for those that are looking to combine it with medications that they currently take for joint and arthritis problems. In case you did not know, collagens also help strengthen bones and joints. If you don't have these types of problems, then I would recommend you move on to a different option.

The next option for collagen production is probably going to be the most popular and more than likely the best option for the vast majority of my readers. It is a collagen cream. There are tons of topical creams on the market today that say they can help you promote collagen production. There are a few things you should look for when thinking about buying these moisturizers to ensure that they will be effective.

The first thing we are looking for is that the cream contains either retinoids or rentinols. These basic ingredients promote skin cell production and will help you produce more collagens in the long term. If you see neither of these terms on the label, move on to the next.

Next, look for peptides. I recommend copper peptides, but as long as there is some sort of peptide for collagen promotion, you can try it.

Do you now have an effective moisturizer of collagen renewing cream? Great, but do not stop there. Continue reading to learn what you can do in regards to your diet to further you success.

The only thing food related that I believe is of vital importance for collagen production is amino acid. There are two different types of amino acids you need to include in your diet for age reversing purposes. These are theonine and proline. Theonine can be found in foods such as eggs, chicken, beef, and even peanuts. Good sources of the non-essential amino acid proline would be from foods such as gelatin, milk, cabbage, or even cheese.

And of course, as I pointed out earlier, it is always important to increase your vitamin c intake by eating more citric fruits like lemons and oranges.
