Most people think protecting their skin starts with something you put on it.

The truth is, the foods you choose every day can influence how your skin responds to sunlight, how well it repairs itself, and how quickly it shows signs of aging.

Collagen has become one of the biggest buzzwords in health and wellness — but there’s a lot of confusion about what actually works and what’s just clever marketing.
