Keeping your skin glowing and youthful is easier than you expect.
Problem is, everyone is looking in the wrong places.
Here are 7 research backed tools to reverse aging in your skin:

1. COLLAGEN
Oral collagen has routinely been shown to:
◇ Improve skin elasticity
◇ Reduce wrinkles
◇ Reduce skin roughness
◇ Improve skin hydration
All of which contribute to a more youthful look.
Collagen is one of the primary extracellular proteins that makes up skin.

Collagen reverses aging of the skin, even in small amounts.
Just 2.5 g per day here:
◇ Smoothed wrinkles
◇ Decreased skin dryness
◇ Improved skin coloring
Can also focus on collagenous foods, like oxtail, feet, bone broth, etc.

2. RED LIGHT THERAPY
10 mins, 2-3 times weekly (660 nm):
◈ Reduces wrinkle volume
◈ Increases collagen production
◈ Improves antioxidant status
Through its powerful effects on mitochondrial function.

Red light therapy reverses all signs of skin aging & disease.
12 minutes 2x weekly improves:
◈ Wrinkle depth by ~38%
◈ Sagging by ~25%
◈ Elasticity by ~20%
◈ Roughness by ~25%
◈ Complexion uniformity by ~35%
◈ Pore size by ~1/3
◈ Sebum production by ~70%

3. HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic acid is another component to the extracellular matrix found abundantly in skin.
Its levels decline as we age, contributing to the deterioration of the skin.
100-200 mg per day orally has been shown to combat this.

Hyaluronic acid glows up the skin.
120 mg:
☆ Contributes to skin "glow"
☆ Increases skin elasticity
☆ Reduces wrinkles
☆ Improves skin moisture
Within 6 weeks, and these changes remained for 2 weeks after supplementation stopped.

4. VITAMIN A
Topical retinol for 6 months:
⇨ Reduces wrinkling
⇨ Improves roughness
⇨ Increases collagen production
Vit A works by controlling gene expression of cells in the skin,
which reduces oxidative stress, inflammation and controls growth factors.

Vitamin A for youthful skin:
➜ Activates epidermal stem cells
➜ Activates collagen producing cells
➜ Improves blood flow to the skin
➜ Increases growth factors
➜ Decreases matrix degradation factors
One of the best studied remedies for maintaining healthy skin.

Focus on optimizing vitamin A intake is the first step.
I've written all about that (+ more on vitamin A) below.
Topical application is typically done with a 0.1-1% retinol product.

5. NIACINAMIDE
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) reverses aging of the skin.
Topical application:
‣ Reduces wrinkling
‣ Reverses hyperpigmentationty
‣ Prevent discoloration
‣ Reverse hyperpigmentation
over 12 weeks

6. CoQ10
50-150 mg orally:
✔ Improves skin elasticity
✔ Reduces wrinkles
✔ Improved smoothness
It's in animal foods mainly, and can also be supplemented.

7. VITAMIN C
Vitamin C megadosing completely prevents wrinkles.
~500-3,000 mg daily (human equivalent) made aged skin identical to youth.
Vitamin C is required to make collagen, &:
• Recovers cell proliferation
• Improves skin barrier function
for anti-aging the skin.

Topical vitamin C reverses skin aging.
→ Decreases wrinkles
→ Decreases roughness
Optimizing dietary intake is most important, but topical application of a 1-3% formula can work well too.
