Collagen is like the scaffolding of your skin—it keeps everything firm, plump, and youthful. Unfortunately, starting in your mid-20s, your body makes less collagen every year. By the time you hit your 40s and beyond, that loss really starts to show.
Collagen production naturally slows with age, but lifestyle plays a role too. Sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, and stress all speed up the breakdown process.
The good news is yes! While we can’t stop the clock, treatments and skincare can help your body ramp up collagen again. Retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides in skincare are proven helpers. Professionally, lasers, microneedling, and radiofrequency are collagen-stimulating powerhouses.
Eating protein-rich foods, staying hydrated, and protecting your skin from the sun all support collagen health. Adding antioxidants to your diet helps too.
Collagen decline is a natural part of aging, but it doesn’t mean you can’t take control. With today’s options, it’s possible to restore firmness and bring back that youthful glow.
