Brilio.net - Increasing age is basically part of the aging process. The process of this phase can not only reduce energy, but also result in physical changes in a person's body. In the facial area itself, the aging process itself makes facial skin that was originally tight becomes saggy, giving rise to wrinkles in the form of fine lines and wrinkles.

The appearance of signs of aging in the form of wrinkles cannot be separated from the production factors of collagen and elastin in the skin, two protein components that function to maintain skin firmness and elasticity. As you age, your skin's ability to produce collagen and elastin decreases. As a result, it becomes difficult for the skin to maintain its structural strength and natural moisture, which then results in loss of skin firmness and the appearance of wrinkles.

You don't need to worry about facing this situation. The reason is that 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 20 years younger.

Talking about collagen drinks , this is a drink that contains collagen hydrolyzate or peptides. This content is a small protein and active molecule found in collagen.

In addition, collagen drinks contain antioxidants obtained from fruit extracts. The benefits of all these ingredients are that they can tighten, keep the skin hydrated, and increase collagen production naturally.

The ingredients in this drink are vitamins C, E, zinc and amino acids. Collagen drinks also contain antioxidants obtained from fruit. This is also used by YouTube user diynaturalrecipes which uses four fruits, namely pineapple, apple, banana, and strawberry.

The vitamin C and potassium content in it also contributes to maintaining skin moisture and elasticity.
