Brilio.net - In the midst of the hustle and bustle of modern life, having bright and youthful facial skin has become the focus of attention for many people. One of the skin treatments in modern times that is currently popular in society is collagen drinks. This drink is believed to provide great benefits for skin health, making it bright , firm and youthful.
Before discussing the benefits of collagen drinks, it is important to understand what collagen is. Collagen is a protein found naturally in the human body, especially in skin, bones, tendons and other connective tissues. Collagen plays an important role in maintaining skin strength, elasticity and structure. However, as we age, collagen production in the body tends to decrease. This is what causes wrinkles, sagging, dullness, and other signs of aging.
To increase collagen production, you need to consume collagen drinks. The benefits of this collagen drink can make your skin look bright, moisturized, reduce signs of aging, and tighten your face.
Even though you can find collagen products on the market, this skin intake is usually priced at an unaffordable price. As a solution, you can make your own collagen drink at home. As was done by a woman named @machelwie. In a video upload on his Instagram social media, he gives the skin a collagen drink.
The post, which has been viewed 1.5 million times, shows him using two spices, namely turmeric and ginger. Then mixed with carrots, lemon and cinnamon. All of these ingredients have their own benefits for the skin.
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, as reported by briliobeauty from pharmeasy.in, Wednesday (1/5), an antioxidant which is converted into vitamin A by the body. Vitamin A is important for regenerating skin cells and accelerating the skin healing process. Apart from that, carrots also contain vitamin C which helps increase collagen production.

Lemons contain large amounts of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays an important role in collagen formation. Consuming lemons or using lemon water as a daily drink can help increase skin elasticity and reduce damage caused by free radicals.
Turmeric contains an active compound called curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin can help fight skin damage caused by UV exposure and stimulate collagen production. It can also help reduce inflammation of the skin and disguise blemishes or dark spots.
Cinnamon has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help maintain healthy skin. Compounds in cinnamon have also been linked to increasing the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, which in turn can help maintain skin firmness and softness.
Those are the benefits of several ingredients that can brighten and make skin youthful. So, are you interested in consuming collagen drinks? For those of you who want to try, let's look at the tutorial below:
