Collagen: The Secret to Firm, Youthful Skin

Collagen: The Secret to Firm, Youthful Skin

What it is:

Collagen is a structural protein that acts like scaffolding for your skin. It keeps skin firm, bouncy, and wrinkle-resistant—but collagen production naturally declines with age.

Why it matters:

Starting around age 25, collagen loss accelerates due to sun exposure, poor sleep, and stress. This can lead to sagging, dullness, and fine lines. The good news? You can support your collagen through targeted foods and supplements.

How we use it:

We love combining vitamin C–rich fruits (like berries and citrus) with protein sources (like fish and legumes), bone broth, and leafy greens to stimulate natural collagen production. You’ll also find collagen peptides in our smoothie recipes for an extra boost.

Dr. Campos’ Tip:

“If you’re using retinol or peptides topically, pair them with a collagen-boosting diet. It’s the inside-out strategy that works.”
