6 Tips to Prevent Collagen Loss

Along with the many ways you can restore collagen loss in the face naturally and through dermatology treatments, there are also things you can do to prevent collagen loss. Below, we've listed simple tips to help prevent collagen loss.

Avoid tanning and wear sunscreen to protect from UV light, which damages collagen fibers.

Eat a healthy diet high in nutrients including vitamins A11 and C.

Follow a daily skin care routine that includes sunscreen and topical retinol.

Avoid smoking, as research shows that to***co smoke reduces the production of collagen and elastin.

Get enough sleep and try to manage your stress, as both increase cortisol production, which over time can affect your body's production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, and lead to premature aging and other skin issues.

Limit your alcohol intake, because similar to smoking, heavy alcohol consumption has several negative impacts on the body, including reduced collagen production.

I have often been asked about which collagen is best.

But first let me make sure everyone is on the same page - after 30 we all produce less collagen. If you are noticing fine lines and wrinkles, collagen is deminishing. The primary way to increase collagen is to take a good collagen supplement. Then microneedling helps to increase the collagen in your skin and improve the fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone, acne, etc.

So here is what to look for.

First, Type 1 and Type 3 Collagen (these two types make up around 90% of the collagen in your body)
Make Sure It's Grass-Fed and Non-GMO
A Serving Size of 10 Grams or More
Look for “Hydrolysate”, “Hydrolyzed”, or “Peptides” on the Label (these words all mean the same thing)
No Artificial Ingredients, Chemical Ingredients, or Filler Fibers
No Added Sugar or Artificial Sweetener
Allergen-Free

Collagen helps with more than just your skin though, it helps with hair, nails, arteries, digestive lining, joints, and bone density.

To start collagen take twice the daily suggested dosage. After four weeks decrease to the daily suggested amounts.
