With every passing day, your body's collagen production is slowing down which is about as depressing as Brangelina's divorce. It's just downright really sad.
You can think of collagen as a type of "glue" that keeps your body fully supported in terms of flexibility of joints and smoothness of your skin. As collagen levels in your body decrease, signs of aging pop up all over your body in the form of wrinkles, sagging skin, cellulite and join pains. So, as this glue goes away, so does the elasticity of your skin and smooth functioning of your joints.
However, there are ways to increase collagen levels to help your skin look firmer and keep your skin cells renewing and repairing normally.
My favorite way to combat the lack-of-collagen-induced wrinkles is with Vital Proteins' Collagen Peptides from Whole Foods. It's currently on sale for $17!
Ever since I began incorporating collagen powder into my diet, I've noticed my nails and hair are stronger and my skin feels softer.
My favorite way to get my daily dose of this miracle supplement is pouring one scoop into my morning Grande Blonde Roast from Starbucks. It's taste-free and isn't affected by heat, so I get my morning caffeine-fix with the added bonus of wrinkle prevention. Score.
Not into coffee? You can pour the powder into a green smoothie, juice, yogurt, soup, or even your water bottle. It won't affect the consistency or temperature of any liquid.
Not into the idea of powder? There are so many ways to get this dose of collagen on the reg. Check out this mask by Mario Badescu or these tablets from GMC.
Every MILF should have wrinkle-free skin, and your collagen levels are decreasing right this second as you read this post, so get to it and save your skin and bones!
