Environmental factors and ageing can contribute to the breaking down of collagen in skin, as well as slow down the production of collagen and new skin cells.
Environmental factors and ageing can contribute to the breaking down of collagen in skin, as well as slow down the production of collagen and new skin cells. The result: skin loses suppleness and firmness, and shows more lines and wrinkles. Besides using sunscreen, try improving the appearance of your skin by taking a collagen drink like Itoh Hanako Skin Lift, made in Japan for women over 30. Each 50ml drink has an ultra-concentrated 12,000mg of fish collagen (said to combat collagen degradation), and proteoglycan extracts from salmon nasal cartilage (to help skin produce collagen more effectively). A 10-day supply costs $55. Available at Guardian, Nishino Pharmacy, Emporium Shokuhin, Sa Sa, Robinsons, BHG, Metro and OG.
