Promote Collagen & Layoff Bad Skin



Foods that promote collagen
Tuna, salmon, eggs, brown rice, oats (due to selenium)
Legumes, beans, lentils, nuts (due to copper)
White tea and green tea (block enzymatic reactions)
Soy (isoflavones grow collagen)

Best topical ingredients
Retinol (a form of vitamin A)
Peptides (the building blocks of skin/proteins)
Hydroxy acids (shed dead skin cells)

Did you know?
Moisturizers that contain collagen and keratin DO NOT result in long term benefits. They temporarily diminish wrinkles with topical use.

People who sleep on their back have less wrinkles.

Eating too much sugar results in glycagon which destroys your skins elastin.

Hydroxy acids can be affordable and found in stores near you. (My personal recommendation of Neutragena's Healthy Skin Face Lotion $12-$16).
