Wrinkles are a natural part of aging and appear clearly on exposed parts of the skin, such as the face, neck, hands, and forearms, according to what was published by the Mayo Clinic website. Although genetic factors are considered the main reason that determines the structure and texture of the skin, exposure to the sun is one of the main and common causes of the appearance of wrinkles, especially in people with light skin. Pollutants and smoking also contribute to the appearance of wrinkles.
Exposure to UV rays accelerates the natural aging process, which translates into premature wrinkles, as it breaks down the connective tissue in the skin, which is collagen and elastin fibers, which are located in the deep layer of the skin, known as the dermis. Experts also warn that smoking leads to suffering from the same problem because it negatively affects the body’s production of collagen. According to what was published by the WIO News website, there are 6 herbs that can help improve the body’s production levels of collagen naturally, as follows:
1. Cinnamon
The ancient cinnamon plant, which has been living for nearly 2,000 years, grows in Namibia. The cinnamon plant has only two long leaves and a unique growth pattern. Eating it helps stimulate the body’s production of collagen naturally.
2. Indian ginseng
Indian ginseng, also known as ashwagandha, increases collagen production and helps nourish the skin. It also rejuvenates dead cells
3. Ginseng
Ginseng roots are filled with compounds, which help slow down collagen loss and maintain skin elasticity. They promote collagen production and increase blood circulation activity.
4. Turmeric
Curcumin, the main compound found in turmeric, reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, which helps in tissue repair and increases collagen production.
5. Moringa
Moringa plant is known to be rich in Vitamin C and helps in increasing collagen. Moringa lotions help make the skin appear plumper and tighter and increase blood circulation.
6. Ginger
Ginger is full of antioxidants that increase blood health in the body and boost collagen production.
