Further from aging, closer to youth
Skin aging is an irreversible trend, but the speed of aging can be a little faster or slower due to the differences in living environment and protective measures. So to start from positive preventions and try to reduce the speed of collagen loss is to slow down the aging speed of the skin. The first priority of prevention is pay attention to sunscreen in high temperatures. Secondly, we should pay attention to a balanced diet and take foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, lycopene, polyphenols, etc. Moreover, we should also try to avoid excessive consumption of food high in calories and fat.
Collagen protein is the holy grail for anti-aging. We believe that everyone is familiar with it. Collagen protein is the main component of skin, reaching 70-80% of the dry weight of skin. The role of skin collagen is comparable to a fine elastic net, firmly locking in the moisture and supporting the skin. The loss of collagen protein will lead to the rupture of the net and atrophy of the skin tissue, thus, a series of problems will arise such as dryness, wrinkles, bulky pores and colored spots. Women begin to experience collagen aging and loss at as early as twenty, with its content dropping year by year; at the age of 25 the loss comes enters the peak period; while at the age of 40, the volume of collagen is less than half of that at the age of 18. From the age of 18, the amount of human collagen synthesis will continue to fall, and if we directly intake collagen, we can effectively relieve the skin aging phenomenon.
