Stops wrinkles and stimulates collagen in your skin naturally

How to keep skin firm and youthful by stimulating collagen

Collagen keeps your skin firm, elastic, and youthful. After the age of 25, its production decreases, causing wrinkles and loss of firmness. To stimulate it naturally, combine a diet rich in vitamins C, K, and amino acids with cosmetic products containing active ingredients like bakuchiol, which boost collagen production and protect the skin from aging.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, representing more than 25% of total protein. It is essential for bones, cartilage, joints, and organs.
In the skin—where it accounts for 74% of its structure—its function is to provide firmness, elasticity, and resistance.
If we were to compare it to a construction, it would be the reinforced concrete of the skin .

Over time, the ability of our fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing collagen) decreases.
From the age of 25, we lose 1.5% annually, and by the age of 50, we have already lost around 30%.
The result: sagging, thinner skin with visible wrinkles.

That is why it is key to stimulate its natural production and avoid the factors that degrade it .

What should you avoid to preserve collagen?

• Tobacco: breaks down collagen fibers and slows their production.

• Alcohol: its metabolites generate free radicals that degrade collagen and elastin.

• Pollution: increases oxidative stress in the skin.

• Stress: Raises cortisol, which reduces collagen production.

• Excessive physical exercise: can negatively affect collagen levels.

• Obesity: alters healing and collagen quality.

• Simple sugars: Glycation damages collagen and elastin.

• Lack of sleep: Collagen synthesis occurs primarily while we sleep.
  

How to activate natural collagen production in the skin?

To activate collagen naturally, combine a diet rich in vitamin C, amino acids, and antioxidants with cosmetics that stimulate collagen synthesis, such as those containing bakuchiol or peptides. Getting enough sleep, avoiding tobacco, and reducing stress are also key to maintaining firm, youthful skin.

Foods that activate collagen naturally

To promote collagen production, include proteins such as fish, eggs, and legumes in your diet, along with fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Chia seeds, walnuts, and cocoa also help keep skin firm, hydrated, and youthful naturally.

How to improve collagen levels from the inside

1. Increase foods rich in protein and vitamins

Collagen is formed from amino acids, so a diet rich in quality protein is essential.
Combine the consumption of proteins (meat, fish, tofu) with vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins C and K , which promote the absorption and activation of collagen.

2. Include collagen precursors in your dishes

• Proline: egg white.

• Lysine: lean meat, fish, low-fat dairy products, legumes.

• Genistein: soy, tofu and tempeh (stimulates collagen production and blocks cellular oxidation).

• Antioxidants: Colorful fruits and vegetables help protect collagen and promote hyaluronic acid production.

3. If you are vegan or intolerant

Increase foods rich in amino acids, silicon, copper and zinc , such as:

• Legumes, quinoa, chia seeds, hemp and nuts.

• Citrus fruits, kiwi, peppers, broccoli, spinach.

• Oats, brown rice, beets and asparagus.

• Avocado, cocoa and pumpkin seeds.

🥬 Did you know that…?

Spinach and kale contain vitamin C and nutrients that stimulate both collagen and hyaluronic acid.
A balanced diet is your best ally for firm, radiant, and healthy skin.
