Do you ever wonder how babies have amazingly clear, plump skin? Once upon a time, our skin used to be just the same way. As we grow older and get more exposed to environmental stress factors, the “glow” of our skin seems to deplete.

What exactly causes this?

Babies naturally produce a lot of collagen–collagen is the most plentiful protein in the skin, making up 75-80% of your skin, so you can understand why it plays a large role in the way your skin looks and ages–but as we grow older, collagen tends to break down from our body and our collagen production starts to slow down. This causes our skin to loose its luster, and begin to form lines, wrinkles and droop down.

HOW TO COMBAT COLLAGEN LOSS

A sufficient diet and lifestyle can help keep your skin and collagen production at its very best. A healthy and balanced set of food is recommended, especially those rich in anti-oxidants like berries and dark green, leafy vegetables

There are also several skin treatments that can help address the loss of collagen. These treatments may involve going to a trained professional but maybe you don’t have to go all that way just yet. You can kick-start your collagen journey by adding collagen cream and boosters to your daily routine.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, skin creams with collagen add a film-like layer to your skin to reduce water loss and act as a barrier from environmental elements. Our all time favorite collagen products are CV Skin’s Collagen Boosting Serum and Collagen E Cream. These serums promote the natural production of collagen and elastin on your skin to help keep your skin plump and firm. It also moisturizes and nourishes with natural hydrating factors that seep deep into your skin to provide hydration and natural botanical factors that gives your skin its daily dose of vitamins.

Just apply CV Skin Collagen Boosting Serum after cleansing and toning your skin, then follow it up with CV Skin Collagen E Cream. Use consistently in the morning and night, and you can say hello again to baby skin!
