1. Eat foods rich in protein and beta-carotene
Collagen itself is a type of protein. The body must first have sufficient protein nutrition to produce collagen. Therefore, you can eat more healthy meat (chicken, fish, etc.), beans or nuts. Beta-carotene can help the body absorb protein, so eating more foods rich in beta-carotene, such as carrots, pumpkin, spinach, etc., can also help produce collagen.
2. Microneedling treatment
Microneedle treatment creates tiny wounds on the skin that are invisible to the naked eye in order to stimulate skin repair, allowing cells to regenerate and heal, and naturally activating the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers in the process.
In addition to activating the body's own repair ability, Celestetic. C-PEN II microneedle treatment , combined with C-EM targeted essence, allows the essence to penetrate directly from the skin surface to the junction of the epidermis and dermis through the physical channel of micro-wounds, allowing the skin to more easily absorb the active ingredients in the essence, thereby producing more obvious and lasting effects. Celestetic. There are 10 types of C-EM essences that can target and improve a variety of skin problems, such as wrinkles, scars, acne pits, stretch marks, pigmentation, etc.
3. Use skin care products containing retinols
When it comes to vitamin A essence, the most common terms you hear are retinol (Retinol) and retinoic acid (Retinol acid). Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A, and many skin care products on the market that contain vitamin A use retinol as the main ingredient. Retinoic acid is the active form of vitamin A (the form that works), and it can only be used with a prescription from a dermatologist. It is a drug generally used to treat acne-prone skin. After retinol is absorbed by the skin, it is converted into retinoic acid. In addition to improving acne, retinoic acid can also accelerate cell renewal and stimulate collagen proliferation, thereby improving fine lines and wrinkles, reducing spots, and shrinking pores.
The vitamin A alcohol products on the market can cause irritation to the skin when converted into active form of retinoic acid, and the conversion rate is very low, resulting in insufficient retinoic acid content that actually works and cannot effectively improve skin problems. Glowbiotics Vitamin A Night Essence uses the latest patented GDR vitamin A ingredient, which reaches the bottom layer of the skin directly to activate cell genes without conversion, so it will not cause irritation, nor will there be loss of vitamin A ingredients due to multiple conversions. Clinical evidence shows that after GDR vitamin A treatment, skin renewal rate increased by 60% in 48 hours, melanin formation decreased by 43% in 5 days, and plumpness increased by 400% in 7 days.
4. Reduce sugar intake
Sugar is the main culprit of skin aging besides oxidation. Excess sugar in the body will combine with protein, especially collagen, through glycation, causing the collagen to harden and deteriorate, destroying the collagen fibers. The reduction of collagen will naturally cause wrinkles, sagging, dull skin tone, damaged skin barrier and other problems. In addition, when cells are damaged, the body will automatically release inflammatory factors, and inflammation will further accelerate skin aging. Glycation not only affects the condition of the skin, but also affects the body's functions in the long run. For the health of your body and skin, do not consume excessive sugar!
5. Take collagen supplements
In recent years, many studies have confirmed that taking hydrolysed collagen for 2-4 months can increase the amount of collagen in the skin. Dermatologists also point out that since hydrolyzed collagen itself is a small molecule and is in the form of peptides, after the body digests and decomposes the hydrolyzed collagen, it can directly absorb its basic molecular amino acids, making the collagen absorption better and effectively increasing the collagen in the body and on the skin, thereby improving skin quality and skin tone.
Celestetic. Collagen Complex uses 2kDa small molecule hydrolyzed collagen. 2kDa is a peptide consisting of only about 20 amino acids, so the body can easily break it down and fully absorb it. Each packet contains 5 grams of hydrolyzed collagen, which is the ideal dose recognized by dermatologists. While replenishing collagen, it stimulates the natural production of collagen in the body, making the skin more hydrated and firm, and significantly improving skin tone. Surprisingly, supplementing with collagen can not only improve the skin, but also repair joint tissue, enhance hair growth, and improve physical condition!
If you want good skin, collagen is absolutely essential! In addition to supplementing collagen from the outside, we must also protect the existing collagen and minimize the chances of it being damaged or lost!
