This sign of skin aging is quite disturbing to appearance and makes most people feel self-conscious. It's not surprising that many are looking for ways to overcome it. Starting from having treatments at beauty clinics to using skincare products that contain collagen.
Collagen is a structural protein that is found in abundance in the body, usually found in skin, hair, nails, bones and joints. The main role of collagen is to keep skin youthful, free of sagging and fine lines. In this case, collagen works by forming a connective tissue structure in the skin , so that it can provide firmness and elasticity.
Meanwhile, collagen can also prevent damage caused by free radicals. Please note, free radicals are molecules that can damage skin cells and cause premature aging. Well, the antioxidant properties in collagen can help fight free radicals and keep skin healthy.

Copper helps in the formation of strong cross-links in collagen molecules, which can make the skin firm. Reporting from Healthline, sunflower seeds are rich in protein, healthy fats and fiber.
