Dr Karen's COLLAGEN BOOSTING TREATMENTS & TIPS
When it comes to youthful, radiant skin, the key ingredient often hailed as the holy grail is collagen. Collagen, a protein abundant in our bodies, plays a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and hydration. However, as we age, collagen production dwindles, leading to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Amongst the many treatments that support collagen production here at DR KD, there are also natural ways to boost collagen production and restore that youthful glow.
Nourish Skin from Within: A balanced diet rich in collagen-boosting nutrients is essential to maintaining a healthy and glowing complexion. By incorporating foods like bone broth, oil-rich fish, eggs, leafy greens, berries, citrus fruits, and nuts into your meals, it will support the bodies natural ability to stimulate collagen production as they are packed with amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants - vital for collagen synthesis.
Hydration is Key: Drinking plenty of water will help to keep skin both hydrated and plump. Dehydrated skin is more prone to wrinkles and fine lines, so Dr Karen recommends at least eight glasses of water a day.
Protect from Harmful UV Rays: The most important factor in any skincare routine. SPF. UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown significantly which ultimately, leads to premature ageing. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50 daily, will protect skin from the harmful rays.
