Wrinkle Reduction: Save My Collagen Please!
Monday, August 11th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
Wrinkle reduction is only called for when the stuff underneath the surface of your skin starts falling apart - namely collagen. Collagen can be looked at as the glue that holds the body together, and it is responsible for your skin’s elasticity. Reduction of collagen by aging or other factors causes creases in your skin, which begin as fine lines and end up as wrinkles.
Bottomline: You don’t want to let go of your collagen! If you can manage this, wrinkles cannot and will not surface. The question is, how do you do this?
There is no cure-all treatment to save your collagen, but don’t worry - there IS something you can do - indirectly, to enhance and support your collagen production, saving you tons of money on wrinkle reduction creams and products. It is very simple, very overlooked and very powerful. It is…
…vitamin C!
That’s right - vitamin C and collagen go hand in hand, as vitamin C is essential to the production of your natural collagen. In fact, without vitamin C, your body’s production of collagen stops! Eating vitamin C-rich foods is great, but as it’s easily destroyed by light and the process of cooking, it is recommended you take a Vitamin C supplement daily. Take 500-1000mg per day (check with your doctor first if any health issues), and be sure to buy Vitamin C with bioflavonoids - this is crucial for proper absorption.
Doing this puts you way ahead of most people in your search for wrinkle reduction.
Regarding the wrinkles and/or lines you already have, there is good and bad news. The bad news is that the collagen you’ve lost isn’t going to come back. The good news is that there are wrinkle reduction products on the market, that not only can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but work to support/maintain your collagen production externally as well.
