How to boost collagen production in my skin is something I have been thinking about recently.

I have taken a much bigger interest in my skincare and my skin health since lockdown started. There seems to be a lot of information out there but not so much on how to help with boosting our collagen production. There are a number of products which you can use on your skin, City Beauty reviews are a great place to look for skin care products which help with tightening skin.

Collagen is something which is required to maintain a youthful appearance.

Losing collagen as we age is a natural process, and there doesn’t seem to be any way of stopping this from happening, or you could have a collagen deficiency

How To Boost Collagen Production

The only way to increase collagen seems to be by having cosmetic surgery. But lip and cheek collagen fillers are not measures a lot of people want to take, and consider them as extreme

There are another couple of ways to produce collagen naturally.

Eating Foods

Eating foods rich in vitamin C is one of the most natural ways you can help boost collagen production. As collagen requires vitamin C in order for the body to manufacture it. There are plenty of delicious foods with high vitamin C levels. I love citrus fruits

, broccoli and berries are always a good to include. Adding these to your diet could really help

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. So many great foods including egg whites, wholewheat, quinoa and soya products like tofu are all good substitutes of animal meats, which are also needed to help promote the production of collagen.

Dark, leafy, green vegetables help strengthen collagen when it is formed, so again adding these to your diet could really help as well

Taking Supplements

You can buy a supplement for pretty much anything these days and collagen is no exception. Collagen supplements can come in as liquid collagen or tablet collagen supplements

I have also tried powder forms of Marine Collagen by Regenecoll. I would highly recommend this if you would prefer not to take tablets, as the powder is completely soluble. Empty the sachet into whatever your drink of choice is and stir. You can also save 10%  with discount code CLAIRES10 at checkout.  I use the flavourless kind in my morning coffee.

One of my personal favourites is in the form of Gin. Cleverly named Collagin and it doesn’t disappoint in taste either. I am rather partial to a Collagin and tonic, especially now they sell Lavender and elderflower flavours, delicious. Add to your list if you are a Gin fan like me

Silica is a product added to these supplements. Silica is a form of silicon found in foods such as cereals, and this is really useful in the production of collagen for elasticity

The stronger the bond of the collagen framework, the more youthful your skin can look

You can take a look at what is the importance of collagen if you are unsure of the purpose of it

Hope this gives you a better understanding of how to boost collagen production
