6 Ways to Boost Your Collagen Levels for Better Skin

November 5, 2020

Skincare Regimen for Every Skin Type | Style & Life by Susana

If you want your skin to look as youthful and radiant as possible, you need to get serious about helping your body to produce collagen. What is collagen? It’s a protein found in the body which amongst other things informs the strength of our bone structure and the youthfulness of our skin.

Okay, but how do you promote collagen growth?

 

 

Aloe vera 

Aloe vera is a succulent plant that has long been used for its skin healing properties. It can be applied topically in the form of a gel or taken orally in juice or pill form. Because it stimulates cell-growth, aloe vera can help your body to produce collagen, which is why so many women use it as part of their everyday beauty routines.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of your skin’s best friends. It is a vital nutrient for the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, and as you will probably know, hyaluronic acid is great at boosting collagen production and giving your skin a youthful glow.

Foods that are high in vitamin C include citrus fruits, strawberries, potatoes, and broccoli, but of course, you can buy high strengthen supplements too if you’re unable, for whatever reason, to get enough vitamin C in your regular diet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matrix PDO Threads

Matrix PDO Threads, like those offered by EnVogue Skin, are perfect at stimulating collagen production in the facial area. They are basically single filament threads, which when positioned correctly in the skin will boost collagen synthesis and help to gradually plump your skin for a more youthful and structured facial appearance.

Derma Rollers

Derma rollers are small hand-held rollers that are fitted with a number of microneedles. In order to promote skin collagen, you must maneuver them across your skin, pushing the needles into your flesh as you do so.

As your skin breaks, your body will be prompted to ramp up the production of collagen and elastin in a bid to heal the affected area. The result? Your skin will be rejuvenated. Derma rollers are particularly good for dealing with skin that has been scarred in some way. 

Algae

You may have noticed marine algae popping up in a lot of your beauty products recently. That’s because it has been shown to prevent oxidation in the body that can damage the skin, and promote the growth of cells including collagen.

The easiest way to take algae is in the form of supplements although you can find many edible types if you would prefer to add it to your diet.

Collagen Supplements

Of course, you can now buy collagen supplements, and taking them is an easy way to boost the protein in your body.

However, healthy dietary changes that include collagen boosting foods, are probably a better way to go about getting enough simply because you’ll get other quality appearance-boosting nutrients into yourself that way too.

 

 

Although collagen isn’t the only factor when it comes to youthful and radiant skin, it IS one of the things that will make the most difference to your look, and by boosting it in any way you can, you will be helping yourself to look younger and healthier for longer.

#flashback | This was one of my very favourite pho #flashback | This was one of my very favourite photoshoots I did with @tullylovesaphoto. I felt free, confident, sexy, strong & I had belief in myself that I could be just as good as any top influencer/blogger. But a year after that photo session, my ongoing battle with severe anxiety became excruciatingly worse over time. I lost all belief, my self confidence disappeared, I started to hate the way I looked & I started to hide from friends, family & the world... to be honest I felt like walking away & giving up my blog and IG; I thought no one would care & I'm not good at what I do anyway... but I stayed.

It's been a long journey to get back. I'm not completely there 100% but I am making slow baby steps. I take each day as it comes. Some days are good & I think, "the Queen is back!" but then something can trigger me & I am back to panicking, hyperventilating, negative thoughts, and just wanting to hide. The difference this time is I don't want to walk away. I want to come back & do/show what I love. 

And that is fashion, skincare, photoshoots, striking a pose ha-ha!! doing my car karaoke sessions, and so much more- just being me. I hope you all can be patient, and stay with me. A butterfly is re-emerging 🦋 #butterfly #mentalhealthsupport #anxietysucks

It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & many of you know I suffer terribly from severe anxiety & depression. And for the past year, my self-esteem, self-confidence, self-belief has bungee jumped severely way way WAY downnnnnnnn low...!

I am at a constant inner war battle within myself, and my self worth. But today is the first step forward doing an outfit shot. 

Do I like this photo or outfit? Meh! 🤔 I am showing me in this present moment. A vulnerable, fragile and insecure me but one who is slowly, desperately: trying. And by doing that, I'm actually empowering my spirit & soul. By TRYING. I'm not, and will not allow my mental health issues to define, me. 

So, once upon a time I only wanted to show only the good photos that I liked to be shown on my blog/social media... I was afraid to show (reveal) my human flaws, my icky shots when I felt shitty, ugly, old(er), bloated, fragile (mental health) moments. Not anymore.

Today I make a conscious decision to show what the day is really like for me. In all its beauty: the good, the bad and the (OMG what was she thinking) ugly; but in all its glory. Its a positive day.

Outfit: turtle neck jumper from Kmart Australia , cargo tartan pants & knee high boots from PrettyLittleThing.com, handbag from Salvos Stores
