Do you know why your skin looks so firm and flawless when you're in your 20s? That's because of the collagen production in your skin that helps impart elasticity and firmness to your skin. But as you grow older, your skin also starts to age and along with this, collagen production eventually reduces. Due to this, you end up with signs of ageing like wrinkles, spots, blemishes and whatnot. So, if you want to maintain that firmness in your skin, you're going to have to make sure that your skin keeps producing a decent amount of collagen. Here are some tips that will help you out with this.

Opt for some aloe vera gel: There's a reason why people are obsessed with aloe vera gel when it comes to skincare and beauty. It can help boost collagen production in your skin, can moisturise your skin and can also get rid of dead skin cells to give you a beautiful glow. So, make sure that you apply aloe vera gel at least twice a week to help give your skin the boost it needs.

Green tea to the rescue: If you thought the only way you can use green tea is to drink it, think again! While drinking it can also help aid your skin since it happens to be full of antioxidants, you could also use the teabags on your face. They help impart a glow to your face and can reduce signs of premature ageing.

Consume Vitamin C rich foods: Yet another thing you can do to boost collagen production in your skin is to consume Vitamin C rich foods. These contain antioxidants which can fight free radicles in your body and can help keep your skin in pristine condition for longer. Opt for foods such as oranges, limes, lemons, grapefruit, pineapples, green vegetables etc.

Coriander seeds for the win: Coriander seeds also contain a good amount of Vitamin C in them so opting for these can also help give your skin the boost of collagen it needs. Just grind some coriander seeds into a powder, mix it with some water to make a paste and apply it to your skin. It'll help give you the glow you need.

So, opt for these tips and they'll definitely make your skin look younger and more radiant. Stay tuned for more updates.
