Brilio.net - As we age, many changes occur in the body, one of which is changes in skin condition. One of the main factors that affects skin changes as we age is decreased collagen production.
Collagen is a protein that gives skin its strength, elasticity, and density. Over time, collagen levels in the body begin to decline, causing the skin to lose its elasticity, making it appear drier and more prone to wrinkles.
When you are young, your body produces enough collagen to keep your skin firm, supple, and wrinkle-free. However, as you age, this collagen production process slows down, causing your skin to appear saggy and wrinkled.
Well, to overcome or delay this condition from happening, most people will consume collagen drinks sold on the market. Usually, collagen drinks on the market are sold in ready-to-drink sachets. In fact, you can make your own collagen drink just by using natural ingredients, you know. In addition to being more economical, natural ingredients are certainly healthier and have no side effects.

Pears can prevent sagging skin because of their nutritional content that supports skin health, especially in maintaining moisture and elasticity. Pears are rich in vitamin C which plays an important role in the production of collagen, a protein that gives strength and elasticity to the skin. By increasing collagen production, vitamin C helps the skin stay firm and elastic, reducing the risk of sagging skin.
Benefits of melon to keep skin firmMelon can help keep skin firm because of its very high water content, around 90%, which functions to maintain skin hydration. Well-hydrated skin tends to be more elastic and less prone to sagging. In addition, melon is rich in vitamin C, which plays a role in collagen production.
