Top 3 Tips to Increasing Collagen Without Surgery

Increasing collagen is an important part of anti-aging skin care. We all want to look younger and have our skin creamy, and glowing.


If you are like me, then you want a natural solution to great looking skin. Increasing collagen without surgery is not only possible, it will add to the health of your skin and your overall body.


Collagen is the protein fiber that makes up your skin. As we age, we lose collagen creating fine lines and enlarged pores in our skin. Following the 5 simple tips below will give you a natural solution to aging collagen.


#1 - Stay out of the sun. We all need sun for the vitamin D it gives us. However, we can get our daily supply of vitamin D from only 15 minutes of sun exposure. More than 15 minutes of sun exposure increases the free radicals in our skin and destroys collagen levels.


#2 - Increase your anti oxidant intake. There are two ways to increase antioxidants in your skin. The first is to eat a healthy diet that includes foods like blueberries and avocados.


The second way to increase anti oxidants and therefore also increasing collagen, is to use a moisturizer with natural antioxidants. Applying nutrients directly to your skin targets the specific areas you want to see smoother and younger looking.


Look for skin creams that include ingredients like olive oil, and shea butter.

Sea kelp from Japan is also extremely high in vitamins that specifically feed your skin. If you find a skin care product with sea kelp, buy it. You will love what it does for your skin.


#3 - Keep your skin hydrated. Hydrated skin is healthy skin and will help slow aging collagen. Unfortunately drinking lots of water doesn't really make a difference in your skin's hydration level. What drinking water does do is help in the elimination of toxins, so in the long run, drinking water can be a good tip to increasing collagen.


The best way to keep your skin hydrated is to apply a high quality moisturizer. Look for skin creams that include functional keratin. This miracle ingredient is absorbed by the deepest layers of your skin and has been proven to simulate collagen production.


Don't be fooled by fancy advertisements and beautiful models. Read the labels of your skin care products instead and only buy what you know is a natural ingredient that will work with the wisdom of your own skin.


So now you know that it is possible to treat aging collagen without surgery. Following the simple tips above is easy and a natural way to keep your skin looking younger.
