7 Collagen-Boosting Serums, Creams, and Supplements For Youthful Skin
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body, one which plays a vital role in supporting the structures that are responsible for making our skin plump and firm. This wrinkle-preventing protein keeps fine lines and other signs of premature ageing at bay, and makes your en-route-to-saggy skin resilient and elastic. One of India's top aesthetic and cosmetic dermatologists, Dr Simal Soin explains, "As we age, and with over-exposure to external stressors such as sun damage, the collagen present in our skin deteriorates. Thereby, to keep your skin's collagen content intact, and to prevent visible signs of ageing, one needs to work on two things—to preserve the existing collagen present in the skin, and to externally supply new collagen to your skin." So, if you're looking to maximise collagen production with a little help from the outside, find below a few dermatologically-tested topical applicants and oral supplements that'll do the work.
