have plump amazing looking skin all right so what kind of sparked the idea for this video is i actually just had the morpheus eight rf microneedling treatment done yesterday and i posted the whole video about it i just did like a quick little vlog and brought you along to my appointment so if you have not seen that and you're interested in that you know treatment you can go check out that video where i will link it down below for you guys but that's kind of what sparked the idea for this video because i was gonna actually do a makeup video today but i can't even put makeup on i have nothing on my skin right now except for spf because i can't i just kind of don't want to put makeup on right now it hasn't been like a full 24 hours even yet and you're not really supposed to put makeup on yet so i'm like okay we're gonna squash that idea let's talk about collagen because the rf micro needling is a step to you know stimulating collagen and all of that so we'll get into all of that so let's start with the at home things you can do first because honestly what you do at home on a daily basis is the most important and we were talking about this yesterday while i was getting my treatment done my friend monica she's a cosmetic surgeon she's the one that did my treatment yesterday we were talking going back and forth about how some people come in for in-office treatments and you can tell they really don't take the best care of their skin it just doesn't have good elasticity and there might be skin texture and just you can just tell that they don't take good care of their skin but they think coming in for an in-office treatment is going to just all of a sudden solve their issues when it really doesn't it's really the most beneficial and what's going to help you the most is everything that you do on a consistent basis on a daily basis so let's talk about that first because there's definitely some things you need to be doing at home every single day to stimulate that collagen first and foremost let's talk about skin care because you know that is what i am all about let's talk about the must-have ingredients for your skincare that really truly have been proven clinically studied clinically shown to stimulate collagen the first ingredient being vitamin c now there's loads of different vitamin c's out there but the top the gold standard ingredient vitamin c ingredient that you need to be using every single day is l-ascorbic acid that is the one that is going to really rejuvenate your skin really really stimulate that collagen i was talking to my dermatologist friend as well about this why a lot of friends in the skincare world they're all going to be on my channel soon too which is going to be super fun but i was talking to my dermatologist friend about l-ascorbic acid and she was telling me that it is the gold standard like you have to be using that for that collagen production so products like skinceuticals this is an l-ascorbic acid all of their products are l-ascorbic acid skinceuticals is the number one antioxidant authority for a reason now l-ascorbic acid is a more difficult form of vitamin c to work with it's a little bit harder to keep stable so that is why you see a lot of other brands using these other forms of vitamin c because l-ascorbic acid you have to formulate it in a like a very specific way so that it's stable and then it actually has the delivery system in the vehicle to drive it into the skin cells so skinceuticals has all of that covered their formulations are just backed by pure science and their products work another brand that i'm loving for their vitamin c is the photozyme md they're vitamin c plus e ferulic acid with dna repair enzymes again 15 ascorbic acid it literally just melts into your skin it makes your skin glow but you are creating that collagen with that 15 ascorbic acid now ascorbic acid can be in all different strengths usually it's between 10 all the way up to 20 but not always you know is the higher the better it depends on what your skin can handle if you have more sensitive skin start with a 10 and if you have more dry skin you're supposed to only keep it to about 10 to 15 if you have more oily not sensitive skin that is when you can you know usually use the 20 but again it doesn't always matter like the highest amount isn't always the the best in form you know in a form of vitamin c like this you use what your skin can use but again ascorbic acid in anywhere from that 10 to 20 range is going to give you the best benefits of the collagen stimulation now i'm going to mention another antioxidant that truly is going to make a difference with your skin and it's the osmosis replenish and the reason i love this is because it has astaxanthin in it and astaxanthin is an ingredient that is an amazing antioxidant and it's actually six thousand times more effective at fighting free radicals than l-ascorbic acid or any other form of vitamin c and the reason that is so important is because free radicals damage your collagen on a daily basis your skin is being attacked every single day by free radicals so you really want the most powerful antioxidants at fighting off those free radicals so not only is the ascorbic acid it is stimulating the collagen at the highest amounts you are getting free radical protection with l-ascorbic acid but then if you use something like this with the astaxanthin in it it is just like the most powerhouse duo of protection for your skin so you want to stimulate that collagen but then you also want to really protect the collagen that you already have and that what your body is creating and that's what you do with the astaxanthin it's like the top ingredient for really fighting those free radicals so that's why i've been you know really really loving this combination which i've been sharing with you guys the l-ascorbic acid with this is just like life all right so we covered our vitamin c the next one is vitamin a now as you guys know vitamin a is another gold standard ingredient in terms of anti-aging in terms of stimulating that collagen and there is different forms of vitamin a you have your retinols retinaldehyde your retin-a all of them are going to help stimulate collagen now i personally love and swear by retinaldehyde this is what i've used for years because it really does a good job at stimulating that collagen and creating younger healthier skin but without any irritation there's no side effects like peeling flaking irritated skin it's not ripping apart your skin barrier and you don't have to walk around with like inflamed skin so that is my personal favorite i've seen results myself i've seen results on so many other people using this it's just an amazing vitamin a but again any form of vitamin a within the retinol renaldehyde retin-a you are going to be stimulating that collagen so make sure you're using one of those in your skincare routine daily all right so then another try and true collagen stimulating ingredient is actually glycolic acid and glycolic acid really gets down into the skin cells and stimulates that collagen so there's a couple different products that i really love in terms of glycolic acid and if you follow me for a while you guys know i love a glycolic acid in a toner now for me i like this because it's easy to layer with other products and it's just a quick and effective way to just really get that glycolic acid onto your skin i love taking the toners and rubbing it down my arms my chest it's just super super easy to just get all over and it makes such a big difference so the sunitas glyco glycosolutions they come in a 5 a 10 and a 15 glycolic acid they are bomb they are amazing and again stimulate that collagen um and then for a glycolic acid cream if you're looking for something to use overnight this is the best product i love this so much it's the skinceuticals glycolic 10 renew overnight it's a 10 pure glycolic acid but it's got other hydrating ingredients to it the formulation is so amazing because glycolic acid again can be irritating it can be drying to your skin it can cause you know red flaky skin as well but this formulation just knocks all of that inflammation out none of that irritating side effects and you just get like the smoothest clearest brightest skin while stimulating the collagen so if you're looking for an amazing like leave-on type of you know glycolic acid cream this is by far just so good all right then one more skincare product i want to mention that's a little bit different here you know we got your vitamin c we got vitamin a we've got glycolic acid those are like the tried and true like known ingredients for really stimulating collagen but the other one that i have to mention is the osmosis rescue because what this does is it is like the most anti-inflammatory ingredient like the main ingredient here is super anti-inflammatory it knocks out all inflammation in your skin and the reason that's so important to collagen stimulation to protecting your collagen is because if you have a lot of inflammation in your skin which again we are just getting bombarded with you know balloons and uv damage and rays and just you know makeup sitting on our skin just all of that just so much just creating inflammation you know in our skin on a daily basis you want to knock out that inflammation because inflammation actually is attacking again the collagen so when you have a lot of inflammation it's going to eventually really damage the collagen in your skin so something like this is just so important to be constantly really knocking out the inflammation in your skin and most people don't realize that inflammation is that damaging to your skin you're walking around you don't even realize you have that inflammation in your skin although if you are irritated if you're red if you're peeling that's a definite sign of inflammation to your skin um but again we all are dealing with inflammation you know with our skin on a daily basis so something like this to really control that inflammation knock it out so that that inflammation is not damaging your collagen on a daily basis so i want to throw that in here because i really do feel like that is such a big thing for protecting your collagen all right number two a way to stimulate that collagen in an effective way is through supplements and now this is where you see i feel like collagen everywhere those collagen powders collagen waters collagen everything and the thing is is most of those are crap it is so difficult to formulate collagen in a way that your body is going to absorb it and actually use it to its advantage so a lot of those products out there a lot of those collagen powders and waters and all of that they are just just marketing crap they're not really doing anything to stimulate collagen you know within now i'm going to share with you this supplement right here this is actually an osmosis supplement it's the regenerate it's the liver and collagen renewal supplement and this is just completely formulated in a way that's completely different than any of those like collagen powders and waters and all of that stuff that you see he has formulated this with actual ingredients that are bioavailable to your body so your body's going to actually draw them in and use them and you actually are stimulating collagen and not only is it a collagen supplement it is a liver detox at the same time it's just like the most amazing supplement but i love it because this is all filled with amino acids that your body needs to produce and make and stimulate its own collagen so i love these again amino acids is what you need so when you're you know taking in food supplements it has to be in a bioavailable way that your body can actually use it and this osmosis regenerate definitely is you will see amazing results with this and now i also really love the symbiotica the liposomal vitamin c so again just like vitamin c we need to put it on topically there's different forms of vitamin c that we want to be taking internally as well so the symbiotic of vitamin c super easy to take you it's just a little pouch you drink it it tastes super good but this is actually a non-gmo l-ascorbic acid form in this which is the best and again it's a liposomal delivery system because even with supplements it's all about the delivery system same with skin care there's like so many supplements out there just have the wrong vehicle and wrong delivery system it's not doing anything so this has a liposomal delivery system when you are taking this in your body is using everything in it so this is a ascorbic acid form of vitamin c but then it's also got bamboo silica which is a mineral that is known for like beautifying the skin and stimulating collagen so you were just getting such an amazing anti-aging collagen stimulation with this form of vitamin c i love this for a daily vitamin c supplement also this supplement is not formulated with any form of like corn derived or synthetic vitamin c's there's a ton of vitamin c's on the market that are just not a natural derived you know form of vitamin c this is and that's why you will see such a difference with this and this will aid in the collagen production of your skin as well so this supplement is amazing like i said it's actually super yummy to take two so i love that now along the same lines of supplements number three is your diet and what you eat you want to be eating certain foods that are going to naturally stimulate the collagen in your body so foods like egg whites foods like chicken lean ground meats also bone broth is so good bone broth is loaded in those amino acids that your body needs i always cook with bone broth when i'm like cooking up veggies or even if i'm making like lean ground turkey or something or chicken even i will cook it in bone broth so that it's kind of absorbing all of that goodness in and it's going to help stimulate that collagen so even like leafy greens um berries because those are loaded with vitamin c anything loaded with vitamin c obviously it's going to help your you know your skin and stimulating that collagen too but diet is huge you want to stay away from sugar you want to stay away from refined carbs because those create inflammation in your body which again inflammation in your body is going to attack the collagen as well okay number four and the last at-home way to stimulate collagen is through skin care devices and now these are super beneficial if you're using the correct ones because you can do these on a daily basis and they truly make a difference you will see absolute 100 results with these skincare tools now again there are so many different skincare tools out on the market but the two best ones that you can use daily at home you can even use them back to back you know every single night if you want are going to be your red led therapy lights and your micro current device i use my at-home skincare devices all the time you guys if you follow me on instagram you see me watching tv and these guys right here so the truth treatments led light therapy mask this is an amazing mask so this one um has your red light it has your near infrared um but then also has a blue light as well for acne so the red light and the near infrared light that's what's stimulating your collagen though and then the omniblocks so this is the other one that i absolutely love this one's so comfortable because it just kind of like curves around your face and it's very light this is again your red light and your near infrared light which those two are the needed ones to stimulate collagen but you will a hundred percent see results you put this on for like i think it's like seven or ten minutes at the most you know at night again while you're watching tv laying in bed and you will notice the difference you can use this every single night i think it says to take like one night off a week but it's safe to use very easy very effective and you will notice you know your skin just becomes you know less lines less little wrinkles more even toned at the same time it's working at those deeper levels to stimulate that collagen so i highly highly suggest adding in your red light therapies as well as your microcurrent again something super easy you can do this every single night you put your conductive gel on and then you just take this little device and it's so easy to just roll it up your skin and the currents are stimulating those like muscles in your face so one it's going to help lift your skin because you will notice a difference with how it kind of stimulates those muscles and lifts so it's like working out at the gym like you have to work out those muscles become lifted and sculpted it's the same with your face and that is what this is doing but those microcurrents are also getting into the skin cells where it is creating that you know collagen stimulation effect so microcurrent is a must all right number five is in-office treatments there's many different treatments that you can go get from a doctor or dermatologist that are going to help with stimulating that collagen now like i said truly it's so important to do your everyday consistent you know right products your right diet right supplements all of that to see the best benefits within your skin i was talking to monica about this like i was saying yesterday is some people think that like you could just go get an office treatment and then you know you just you're done like that's all you have to do it's very important to be consistent on a daily basis with what you do at home it's like again it's like going to the gym you can't just not work out forever and then go to the gym one time and lift weights and be like oh yeah i'm fit now like perfect i'm in shape like it takes consistent consistent work and it's the same with your skin it takes a daily consistency it takes consistency to your skincare to your diet and then again in office treatments and all of those together combined are going to give you like your best skin so now i consulted with my dermatologist friend on the in-office treatments and what she recommended for the best and the top you know collagen stimulation effects so there's lasers and then there's also like your micro needling and things like that all of those different technologies are going to help stimulate collagen because they're working at a deep level of your skin so you have your co2 laser which is your ablative laser now that laser is like very painful most people have to get like put under anesthesia to do it your downtime is quite a lot because it literally like burns off the entire first layer of your skin um so it's painful and there's a lot of downtime but that is going to give you like like completely fresh new skin so you are stimulating collagen with that whole process now one step under that laser is going to be your fraxel laser so fraxel laser is your non-ablative laser um you are going to have less downtime and less pain but you're still it's very effective for you know really creating that collagen within your skin but fraxel you can do your entire face you can do just under your eyes but it's a good way to really stimulate that collagen uh fraxel also helps with like any sun damage and stuff like that um all of that i'm not like i said i'm not a laser expert um but i do know that fraxel is really good for stimulating collagen and then clear and brilliant is the other one where that's even less than a fraxel so like it's still going to stimulate collagen but there's no downtime no pain you can literally walk out of there and no one really even knows that you had anything done but again it's still going to be effective for stimulating that collagen so you have your clear and brilliant you have your fraxel and then you have your co2 those are going to be your best lasers for that and then again like i said you have your rf micro needling now that was what i just had done and it's radio frequency and micro needling put together so you literally are getting poked by these tiny little needles that are going into your skin with the radial frequency and it's like a heat energy which is getting into your skin cells and again it's stimulating and creating that collagen within your skin so again with the lasers with like the rf micro needling with you know technologies like that i don't walk out of there the next day and be like oh i see a huge result or anything it takes time for your body to you know create that collagen and to really see its effects so with the rf microneedling that i just did um it's going to be again an ongoing kind of effect so in the next couple of weeks you should start seeing a little bit you know more results and then with the rf micro needling you're supposed to do three treatments um a month back to back so like one month and then wait four weeks and then do another treatment and then wait four weeks and do another treatment so with three treatments you're supposed to get like the best effect to start and then you can kind of just like do like you know little treatments here and there as needed but i'm going to do the three treatments i think to like see what results i you know truly see i really wanted to do it just for a little skin tightening and see what happens with that but yeah that is it those are your five top ways to stimulate collagen from at home to in-office treatments the best products everything that you really want to be doing you know spending your money on where it's going to be worth it now you know so i hope you guys
