Brilio.net - Everyone definitely wants skin that is healthy, radiant and youthful. However, the aging that occurs when you enter your 60s is a natural part of the life process that no one can avoid. When entering the aging phase, a number of signs of aging such as sagging skin, fine lines and black spots begin to appear on the surface of the face.
This aging process in the skin causes collagen production in the body to decrease. Decreased collagen in the body can cause the skin to lose moisture and elasticity, and cause various signs of aging such as wrinkles to appear. You don't need to worry about facing this situation. The reason is, there are ways that can increase collagen production in the body again.
One of them is consuming collagen drinks regularly, so that your face looks 10 years younger. As the name suggests, collagen drinks contain collagen hydrolyzate or peptides, which are small proteins and active molecules found in collagen. Apart from that, collagen drinks also contain antioxidants obtained from fruit extracts.
The benefits of all these ingredients make collagen drinks firm, keep skin hydrated, and increase collagen production naturally. Meanwhile, the ingredients in this drink are vitamins C, E, zinc and amino acids. You can get the content of collagen drinks from fruit , you know.
You can use fruits such as pineapples, apples, bananas and strawberries to make collagen drinks, as shown by YouTube user diynaturalrecipes. Through its YouTube channel, this account shares how to make a natural collagen drink which can help tighten the skin. The reason is, these fruits have their own contents and benefits.
Pineapples contain vitamin C which helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and increases healthy collagen production. Meanwhile, apples contain antioxidants such as vitamin C, flavonoids and polyphenols which can fight free radicals and stimulate collagen production. The fiber in apples also helps in the body's detoxification process, so it can make the skin healthier.
Additional ingredients, such as bananas, are rich in iron which is important in the collagen formation process. The vitamin C and potassium content in it also contributes to maintaining skin moisture and elasticity. Then, strawberries contain high levels of vitamin C and antioxidants, such as flavonoids and ellagic acid. This content can increase collagen production and help fight damage caused by free radicals.
