Brilio.net - As we age, many changes occur in the body, one of which is changes in facial skin. A face that was originally tight and smooth can start to look loose and look older.
The process of facial skin aging is influenced by a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are important for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Over time, collagen production decreases, causing the skin to become thinner, less supple, and begin to show signs of wrinkles or fine lines.
This causes the face to appear saggy, especially in areas such as the cheeks, chin, and around the eyes. In addition to natural aging factors, several external factors also accelerate the appearance of a sagging and aged face. Excessive sun exposure is one of the main causes of this condition.
UV rays damage collagen and elastin, and increase the formation of free radicals that accelerate skin aging . Bad habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep can also worsen skin conditions, making it look dull, dry, and more prone to wrinkles.
To overcome or prevent it, most people will consume collagen boosters, to increase collagen production in the skin. In fact, you don't need to buy expensive collagen boosters, because you can make your own collagen skincare using natural ingredients.

Green tea can be a natural collagen booster because it is rich in antioxidants, especially catechins, which have incredible benefits for skin health. Catechins in green tea, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), can stimulate collagen production in the skin. In addition, green tea also has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce inflammation in the skin, which often worsens collagen damage.
The benefits of flaxseed to keep skin firm.Flaxseed can keep skin firm because of its very high omega-3 fatty acid content, especially alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which has extraordinary benefits for skin health.
Omega-3 helps maintain skin moisture and repairs the skin's protective barrier, so that the skin remains well hydrated and does not dry out or sag. In addition, flaxseed is rich in lignans, antioxidant compounds that fight free radicals that cause premature aging and collagen breakdown.
