TO MAINTAIN A YOUNG AND PLUMP FACE
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Collagen, which makes up connective tissue, is the protein responsible for skin firmness. Its production begins to decline as early as age 25. But nothing is irreversible if you take care of your skin daily.
Here are our tips to boost your collagen production and maintain a youthful and plump face.
INGREDIENTS BOOSTERS
Antioxidants, vitamin C, and a clean retinol analogue help prevent premature skin aging. Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, boosts collagen production. Holi (C) Youth Skin Refining Face Vitamins AGENT NATEUR is a pure vitamin C powder that works powerfully on the skin. I recommend using it in the morning by mixing it with your toner. Then, you can apply an antioxidant serum to protect your skin from external aggressors that damage collagen.

Retinol is the alternative to vitamin A. This clean analog of retinol doesn't cause irritation and promotes skin cell renewal and collagen production. I recommend using it in the evening for waking up with plump, bouncy skin.

SUN PROTECTION
Harmful UV rays, as well as the blue light from our computers, are largely responsible for collagen breakdown. The sun is even responsible for 80% of premature skin aging. Protecting your skin with sunscreen is essential to preserving its youthfulness.
MASSAGE
MASSAGE
You now know how much I love massaging my skin with a Gua Sha or a roller. For me, it's an essential step for beautiful skin. To prevent sagging skin, you need to stimulate fibroblasts with massage to boost the natural production of collagen. It also helps relax muscle tension that causes wrinkles. The secret is consistency. A Gua Sha or roller massage should be done every day for two minutes.
DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
Supplementing with collagen significantly increases skin elasticity. To start, take between 2 and 6 capsules per day. Available in capsules or powder, Kiki Health's Marine Collagen Beauty Blend is boosted with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C, essential for collagen synthesis. As an added bonus, it will also strengthen your nails and hair.

RED LED LIGHT THERAPY
Red LED light increases collagen production in the skin. Its wavelength (around 660 nanometers) penetrates deep into the dermis to stimulate cells that will produce more collagen and elastin. It also repairs damaged cells and reduces inflammation.
