Collagen is an essential protein for beautiful and healthy skin, resulting in more elasticity and firmness.
Collagen represents 70% of all the proteins in the skin and is naturally produced by the cells.
Besides being responsible for keeping your skin firm, collagen is also very important to your hair, nails, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints.

That's right, foods like meat and gelatin are rich in collagen and you can also supplement this protein.
Besides taking care of your eating habits, it is also necessary to pay attention to some external factors that can accelerate the collagen drop in your body, like excessive exposure to the sun, excessive consumption of sugar, smoking and pollution.
