The Perfect Duo for Summer: Hydration & Collagen

During summer the Sun’s rays become more intense, maintaining the health of your skin becomes more important than usual. The combination of increased sun exposure, high temperatures, and outdoor activities can lead to skin dehydration, premature aging, and damage. Along with sunscreen, collagen, which is responsible for skin elasticity, and proper hydration are essential to keep your skin flexible, healthy, and radiant.

Benefits of the Combination of Hydration and Collagen:

  • Hydrated skin appears more elastic and plump, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Collagen helps smooth skin roughness and improves overall skin texture.
  • Collagen's water-binding ability helps the skin retain moisture more effectively.
  • Well-hydrated, collagen-rich skin is better protected against environmental effects.

 

Essaworld Tips:

  1. Life-giving Water: Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses (2-2.5 liters) of water daily. Using a reusable water bottle and setting reminders can help you stay consistently hydrated throughout the day. You can also add fruit slices like lemon, lime, and berries to the water, which can enhance collagen production.

  1. Water-rich Foods: Incorporate as many water-rich foods as possible into your diet, such as cucumbers, oranges, strawberries, and watermelon. These not only contribute to hydration but also contain essential vitamins and minerals that support skin health.

  1. Consistent Collagen Consumption: Besides consuming an adequate amount of natural protein, it is most effective to support your body with reliable quality collagen supplements. We highly recommend our raspberry-flavored collagen powder, which you can easily mix into a refreshing mocktail with water and ice cubes.

  1. Vitamin C: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports hydration and collagen production. Vitamin C is vital for collagen synthesis. The Inner Beauty multivitamin contains various active ingredients rich in Vitamin C.

  1. Proper Timing: It's best to consume the collagen supplement in the morning with a hydrating breakfast or in the evening with a glass of water before bed.

Avoid Dehydrating Foods and Drinks: Caffeine and alcohol consumption can dry out the skin, while sugar and processed foods can break down collagen. Choose natural, whole foods, and if you do indulge occasionally, compensate with even more water and collagen!
