Collagen is everywhere right now.
Powders. Gummies. Drinks. âSkin glowâ bundles.
And I get why, because collagen does matter. Itâs one of the main proteins your body uses for your skin, joints, tendons, bones; everything that needs structure and strength.
But hereâs the thing to remember:
Buying collagen isnât always the smartest way to support collagen.
Because collagen is a bit like a savings account for your skin.
You can make deposits (by giving your body what it needs to build collagen),
but you can also make withdrawals all day long without realising.
The biggest withdrawals?
âď¸ UV exposure
đŹ lots of added sugar
đŹ smoking + pollution
So if youâre taking collagen but also living in âwithdrawal modeâ, itâs no wonder people donât always see results.
Iâve written a short blog on:
whether collagen supplements actually work for skin
who might benefit (and who probably wonât notice much)
and the simple ways to protect your collagen naturally
