Collagen also helps to keep the skin hydrated and elastic, and works hand in hand with elastin to keep your skin looking young and fresh.<\/p>\n<p>As we age, our bodies naturally begin to produce less collagen (just another of the downsides of getting old). This can lead to the development of wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. The good news though is that there are a number of things that you can do to help boost your collagen production, including diet, exercise, topical treatments and our range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments that are designed to restore youthfulness to the skin.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Services&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.0&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f1f5f7&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;20px|12%|20px|12%|true|true&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;|15vw|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Text Area&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;100px||50px|&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;align-self: center;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Montserrat|300|||||||&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; ol_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; quote_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#003768&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;38px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#003768&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;0px|50px||50px&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>What are the benefits of collagen for the skin?<\/h2>\n<p>There are range of benefits of collagen for the skin, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improved skin elasticity:<\/strong> Collagen helps to keep the skin elastic, which means that it can stretch and rebound without breaking.

It is made by simmering bones and connective tissue in water for a long period of time. This process releases the collagen into the broth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gelatin:<\/strong> Gelatin is a form of collagen that is derived from animal bones and hides. It can be added to food or drinks, or it can be taken as a supplement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Citrus fruits:<\/strong> Citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green leafy vegetables:<\/strong> Green leafy vegetables are a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect collagen from damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After the food side of things, there are some other things that you can do as well to help promote the supply of collagen beneath the surface. Exercise is a great way to stay in good physical shape, but it also helps to increase blood flow to the skin, which can help to boost collagen production. Getting the right amount of sleep is a good idea too, as sleep is essential for collagen production. When you sleep, your body produces more growth hormone, which is a hormone that helps to stimulate collagen production. If you\u2019re a smoker then you might want to take another look at that pack of cigarettes before lighting another too, as smoking actually damages collagen, so it is important to avoid smoking if you want to boost collagen production.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Text Area&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;100px||50px|&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;align-self: center;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Montserrat|300|||||||&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; ol_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; quote_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#003768&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#003768&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#003768&#8243; header_4_font_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#003768&#8243; header_5_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#003768&#8243; header_6_font_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;0px|50px||50px&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>What about collagen supplements?<\/h4>\n<p>Collagen supplements are a popular way to boost collagen production.

As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which can lead to the development of wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. There are a number of things that you can do to boost collagen production, including eating a diet rich in collagen-boosting foods, exercising, getting enough sleep, and protecting your skin from the sun. You can also consider taking collagen supplements.<\/p>\n<p>If you are concerned about your skin health, talk to your doctor. They can help you to develop a skin care plan that is right for you.
