2. Stimulate collagen production
You have probably come across this term a bunch of times. Anti-aging collagen products are everywhere and they are advertised extensively. But what exactly is this thing?
Collagen is a protein (the most abundant in the human body) that provides structure to the bone, tendons, ligaments, and… skin! As you get older, your body naturally lowers the production of this protein and the one that keeps being produced has an inferior quality.
That’s one of the reasons why your skin loses its elasticity and the science behind anti-aging products that contain collagen.
Besides these beauty products and collagen supplements, there are other ways to stimulate the production of collagen.
Vitamin C, proline, glycine, and copper are all nutrients that help the body produce collagen and therefore can offer you skin benefits – collagen also increases muscle mass and have a positive effect on people with arthritis.
In turn, refined carbs, processed sugars, being overly exposed to direct sunlight and smoking are things that can damage or even destroy the collagen present in your body.
3. Proper posture
Besides the structural and muscular problems that a wrong posture can bring, it can also lead to the development of dynamic wrinkles – the ones created from repeated movements. According to some beauty experts, constantly looking down on the smartphone is triggering the development of wrinkles around the neck.
It is not easy to adopt a correct posture in a short amount of time. At first, it will require some effort and even concentration because it will feel so unnatural. There are some posture correction exercises and posture correctors that may help you.
Also, when you sleep your face can get in a weird position with both the face and neck skin shriveled against the pillow.
Over time, this can lead to the development of the aforementioned dynamic wrinkles. If that is your case, you should buy an anti-wrinkle pillow. These are the best pillows to prevent wrinkles since they are specifically designed to minimize skin twisting and folding. They are also great for your sleep posture!
