Brilio.net - A wrinkle-free and smooth face is the dream of many people. However, over time, the skin will experience aging which causes wrinkles to appear. Aging is a natural process that cannot be avoided, but there are various ways to keep the skin healthy and prevent signs of aging, such as routinely consuming collagen drinks.
Collagen is an important protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and suppleness. As we age, collagen production in the body decreases. Collagen drinks can help address this issue because they contain ingredients that are beneficial to the skin, such as reducing wrinkles and fine lines, increasing hydration, and supporting skin regeneration.
The benefits of this collagen drink can be easily obtained through purchases in marketplaces or beauty stores. However, the price of this product can sometimes be quite expensive. As an alternative, collagen drinks can be made at home in an easy way.
You don't need many ingredients, in the video shared by YouTube user simple food, you only need five ingredients, namely parsley, cucumber, dates, ginger, and lemon.
Parsley is high in vitamin C, antioxidants, and iron. Vitamin C is known to stimulate collagen production in the body. Antioxidants help fight free radicals that can damage the skin and accelerate aging.
Then, cucumber has a high water content and has a refreshing effect on the skin. Its water content helps maintain skin moisture and provides a calming effect. The anti-inflammatory properties in cucumber help reduce inflammation of the skin that can cause damage.
Meanwhile, dates contain powerful antioxidants such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and carotenoids. These antioxidants help protect the skin from free radical damage and help improve skin elasticity.

Additional spice ingredients such as ginger have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help fight free radical damage. In addition, ginger can also stimulate blood circulation which helps in healing and regenerating the skin.
The last ingredient is lemon, which is rich in vitamin C which can increase collagen production in the body. In addition, lemon has natural bleaching properties that help brighten the skin and reduce dark spots that can make the skin look old.
