Brilio.net - Perfect facial beauty that doesn't change with age is everyone's dream, including women. Not without reason, a youthful looking face can support their appearance. Moreover, for those who do a lot of activities in public, they can attract attention.
This healthy and youthful face does not escape the role of collagen which always maintains skin elasticity. However, as we age, collagen in the body begins to decline and causes the skin to lose its natural elasticity and youthfulness. Usually this condition is prevented by using various methods, one of which is consuming collagen drinks.
Collagen is the main structural protein found in the body to provide strength, elasticity and structure to skin, bones, tendons and connective tissue. However, this is only temporary, because collagen production in the body tends to decrease as a person ages. This can cause the skin to lose moisture and elasticity, making the face look old.
To increase collagen production again, you can restore it by consuming drinks made from natural ingredients . Usually this collagen drink is made from vegetables and fruit, as in the video shared by YouTube user vanitarattan.
In the video, which is several minutes long, the woman uses two kinds of fruit, namely strawberries and blueberries, without carrots. The fruits used to make collagen drinks are strawberries and blueberries which are good sources of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is important in collagen production because it is a cofactor in collagen formation. Collagen requires vitamin C for its synthesis, so adequate intake of this vitamin can help maintain and increase collagen production in the body.
These two fruits are also rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and anthocyanins which help fight free radicals. Free radicals can damage collagen in the skin, so consuming foods rich in antioxidants can help protect collagen and maintain skin elasticity.
Apart from that, this collagen drink contains another additional ingredient, namely yogurt. This food ingredient contains protein which can maintain healthy skin and support the cell regeneration process. This content is also able to increase overall collagen production, thus making the skin look youthful.
So how do you make a collagen drink from these ingredients? For those of you who are curious, let's look at the information below, as reported by briliobeauty.net from YouTube vanitarattan on Wednesday (1/5).
