6. Don’t Forget Collagen
Collagen is the connective tissue that keeps skin firm and taut. Japanese women use a lot of collagen-rich products including creams and masks in their skin care regimens. Collagen is also prevalent in foods like bone broth and spirulina (a type of algae) that make up a large part of the Japanese diet.
Chances are high that your body needs more collagen than it currently has. Smoking, sun exposure, and poor diet contribute to depleting collagen supply, as does simple aging. As we get older, we need to put more energy into getting enough. Make sure that your skin care products contain some and definitely add more to your diet.
