7 Easy Ways to Prevent Collagen Loss
7 Easy Ways to Prevent
Collagen Loss
What are you doing to prevent collagen loss?
Your skin is 70% collagen - the stuff that keeps it youthful, bouncy and glowy. But we lose around 1% of our collagen each year from the age of 25, as the signs of ageing progressively begin to appear.
If you've invested in a moisturiser, serum or any other type of topical skincare but you haven't thought about how you can reduce collagen loss, you're likely compromising your results (and wasting your money!).
Do any of these sound familiar?

Save your precious collagen with these 7 easy tips
1. EAT PHYTONUTRIENTS LIKE ELLAGIC ACID, TO PROTECT COLLAGEN
The phytonutrients found in plants show powerful antiageing benefits with the promise of plumper, more toned skin and the ability to reduce and even reverse the early signs of fine lines. While wrinkles may be an inevitable part of getting older, their onset can be significantly delayed by regularly including powerful plant based phytonutrients like ellagic acid in your diet. They act on a cellular level to elevate and maintain your collagen levels and rejuvenate dull, sagging skin to have a healthy, plump glow.
2. PROTECT YOURSELF (AND YOUR COLLAGEN FROM UV)
3. DRINK 2L OF WATER PER DAY TO KEEP COLLAGEN PLUMP
It's called the fountain of youth for a reason! Water is essential to maintain the health of your skin. Up 85% of your skin is made up of collagen and 60% of collagen is made up of water - now I'm no math whizz but water seems to be the majority shareholder for your skin. It's required to flush out toxins and waste from your skin and keep your cells hydrated and plump so they can continue carrying out the reactions they need to, to produce collagen. Aim for atleast 2L of water (not including the coffee, coke or red bull), every day to ensure your skin remains hydrated!
4. TAKE A COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT TO REBUILD COLLAGEN
You might think my opinion is slightly biased here so I'm going to lean on my good friend science here. Decades of research have shown that plant based bioflavenoids and phytonutrients can help maintain youthful skin in 2 main ways. One, by increasing collagen production using vitmains and nutrients suc as zinc, copper and vitamin C found in plants, and two, by preventing collagen degradation by supplementing the skin with an array of antioxidants, again sourced entirely from plants. While we lay down hefty sums for a single anti-aging serum that just floats on the surface if your skin, I'd say plants provide some serious collagen building bang for your buck! Boost your skincare with a single scoop of vegan collagen and fight the signs of premature aging.
