How to restore Collagen In The Face

00:05Part of the aging process of our skin is that we lose collagen over time and this

00:10can start in the early 30s and even in the late 20s where every year you lose

00:15more and more collagen. This contributes to texture differences fine lines and

00:20wrinkles and laxity of the skin. So there are many things that we recommend for

00:26improving the loss of collagen and trying to build more collagen in the
