Things that damage your own collagen levels

  1. Aging
  2. Sun Damage
    1. UV Radiation
  3. Smoking
  4. Vaping / E-Cigarettes
    1. Any form of smoking leads to premature signs of aging, deep wrinkles, bags under the eyes and dull, dehydrated skin. This bad habit starves your skin of oxygen and constricts blood flow, which affects circulation and breaks down collagen and elastin. Additionally, smoking depletes your body of vitamin C, a necessary nutrient for collagen production. Because smoke is a form of pollution, you’re also coming in contact with harmful free radicals.
