Bank Your Collagen NOW and Look 20 Years Younger With These Anti Aging Treatments

[@Lifes_Frosting]

I've found since starting HRT just a few months ago, that the collagen in my face is returning and I look more youthful with fuller cheeks and supple skin. It's amazing how replacing hormones to optimal levels can make a huge difference not just in skin/collagen but in every other area of my body.

[@Tabbycat278]

The difference between a 10 year old and a 20 year old is drastic. The difference between a 20 year old and a 45 year old is not drastic. Many 40 year olds can look like they are in their 20’s, if they stay slim, dress youthful, and take care of their skin, hair and teeth. The major change comes for women at menopause. That is when diet, exercise no longer can make her look youthful. The loss of estrogen is what causes the major skin changes. The changes are drastic as the when teenagers go through puberty, but around 52, it’s puberty in reverse, and everything deflates, bone looses density, tissues deflate and shrivel, muscle mass does too. Diet and exercise become even more critical because the 50’s is when people start falling off a cliff, heath-wise. When you start loosing estrogen, you realize it is #1.

[@courtney9746]

@@DaniDan-s3f I have found that hormone replacement therapy being more meticulous with the skincare routines like wearing sun protection in my home every day, using an estrogen cream and vitamin c on my face daily snd several other things. I use the ZO line primarily. Additionally,I drink pumpkin spice lattes daily using real pumpkin which is rich in vitamin A. I keep my sugar intake minimal and am very active daily. Salada with baby kale and spring mix, with some dried cranberries, fat free feta cheese and drizzled with a good, thicker balsamic vinegar is dinner. Lastly , collagen peptides, NM N, heliocare, vitamin c, iron, calcium, glucosamine, a women's 50+ multi vitamin and biotin are taking daily as well. I am now looking into thermage and the biostimulater injections.

Hi thankyou for explaining so well. I am 48 in Nov, I have only just started to try & look after my skin , I so wish I started a good 20 yrs ago.

I guess be kind to your face and body and it will show. 😊

For me at 71yrs in Nov 2024, I've been taking a minimum of 1,000mgs VIT C daily, and I hardly have any wrinkles or lines and no crepey (spelling?🤔) skin! I absolutely swear by this and fortunately, learned about it in my 20's.

@@DC-se3vr ABSOLUTELY! Vit C BUILDS COLLAGEN! Yet the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance for Adult Females is about 10X less! RIDICULOUS!) It's never too late to start. For many years I could only afford the cheapest form of VIT C, but now I can afford the 1000mg FIZZY ones which are healthier, but I'm living proof that the cheapest work the same. Ignore if others tell you that you're wasting money & just peeíng most out ... yes! but your system is building vital COLLAGEN. My face looks really young as a direct result. I've also been ingesting Bovine Collagen for the past 2 years, and for a year I've been using CEREVE Retinol Serum. CeraVe works as well & even better than many expensive brands. 👍😍Just GO FOR IT! OH! At the very end of my evening routine & just before bed, I apply a GOOD Cold Pressed CASTOR OIL ... which is FANTASTIC!!! It's a Godsend.

OK? 👍🤗I just started taking 2x 5000IU Vit A (so 10k IU in total) for my skin a day as well. They bottle says to take 5k a day, but they always say much less.

[@xKarenWalkerx]

@@ashleyphelps6288 muscle memory means you can take time off and be back at the same size/endurance/strength level when you start working out again. Skin care doesn't work that way; it compounds. But definitely you need to work out harder and harder as you get bigger/stronger. That's why bodybuilders and powerlifters workout far more than beginners (multiple times per week even) with much less results compared to beginners that make big gains in size and strength relatively speaking. The comparison didn't fit but regardless very good video. I learned a lot.

Happy Sunday, Dr Stefani! I have a question about last week video, if you dont mind.. Do you think using temporary plumping products will damage the tissue of the lips in the long run? Don't those plumping products work by way of inflammation? Isn't inflammation the enemy of our skin? Will it ultimately leave the lips deflated from using plumping products that contain pepper, cinnamon, or other irritants such as that to increase blood flow? Or is inflammation only bad for everything else? Just trying to preserve what I have and if temporarily plumping them is going to fatigue and/or negatively impact my lips in the long run, I will avoid those products. Thank you. I love your channel!!🖤🖤🖤

[@natalienetanya7401]

I have a similar question in that I'm wondering if inflammation from at home radio frequency devices are creating a temporary inflammation which has a lifting and plumping effect at expense of the overall health of our skin. Because if you stop using the device the skin goes back to sagging which shows it wasn't plumped and lifted due to collagen, which lasts alot longer.

Maybe because those older patients that had no access to those modern machine treatments were consuming more whole protein from meat/milk/cheese and plenty of vitamin C loaded fruits/vegetables. They allowed their body to produce ample amounts of collagen to maintain their extra cellular structure with consumption of whole protein and vitamin C which is a cofactor in the production of Hydroxyproline (is an amino acid that plays a key role in collagen stability and is a marker of collagen degradation and bone resorption).
