Candidate of Medical Sciences, a nutritionist, Associate Professor of the Medical Faculty of SPbSU Andrei Bobrovsky told that the protein collagen helps maintain skin elasticity. Many cream manufacturers add it to creams, calling it to get rid of wrinkles, reports sputnik radio.
The doctor stressed that collagen in the compositions of creams or other means does not contribute to the smoothing of wrinkles, since the alien protein is not capable of penetrating inside due to the size. “In other words, the” external “collagen will never be” inner “,” he explained. Fill the amount of this protein in the body is also possible by food.
“There is a simple rule to replenish collagen – use vitamin C that helps protein synthesize. The second recommendation – Eat gelatin in the form of fruit jelly, there are a huge amount. The keeper also works fine. Finally, do not forget about animal proteins, it is definitely will positively affect the skin tone, “the specialist advised.
Bobrovsky summarized that the health of the skin should be corrected, enriching the diet with special products and vitamins for the development of “internal” collagen. It is not necessary to hope for the “magic” properties of the “external” protein, he stressed.
Earlier, the Russians gave advice on face care in winter. The skin must be moisturized with the skin with cream and serum to avoid premature aging and wrinkle appearance.
