Okay, first things first.

What is collagen and why do you need it?

Collagenis a protein that serves as the building block for your skin, hair and nails, among other things. Unfortunately, your body produces less collagen as you ageYour skin becomes less firm and supple and you start noticing the dreaded wrinkles

On top of that, collagen production is further decreased by environmental pollutantssmoking and even consuming too much sugar and refined carbs.Not to mention UVAdamage – sun exposure can damage collagenfibres in your skincausing you to look older than you actually are.

"Okay, but that’s a future-me problem, you may think. WRONG! :)
