mellowmaker16 said:So, how exactly do we get more collagen?

So, I was reading this article yesterday—honestly, it was kind of a slog to get through—but basically, it said that upping your Vitamin C intake can help kickstart collagen production on its own. Like, you don't necessarily need to go out and spend a fortune at CVS or Walgreens buying every supplement under the sun. I mean, I've always felt like our bodies just absorb stuff way better from actual food rather than some random pill, you know? Apparently, there are certain enzymes in tropical fruits like pineapple, kiwi, and grapefruit that help out. Even just sticking to regular American staples like strawberries, blackberries, cherries, oranges, or lemons should do the trick. So yeah, I guess mellowmaker16 hit the nail on the head!🙂

So, here’s a few tips—nothing's been tested on me personally, so take it with a grain of salt, but some of this stuff actually works for people I know. One former pregnant lady swears by Johnson & Johnson cream (I think it's an American brand, or maybe just sounds like one), while someone else is obsessed with Aphrodite stretch mark cream... personally, though, I’d probably suggest almond oil, or even better, wheat germ oil. That one smells a bit like damp bread, if I'm being honest, but you could always toss in some lavender to fix the scent. And by the way, it helps with stretch marks and a whole bunch of other things too 🙏
The unfortunate reality is that a lot of it just comes down to your skin type; some people just get them no matter how much they pamper themselves. Since we're talking about deep cracks in the skin, maybe it's just one long stretch where the skin wasn't getting enough nourishment from the outside or the inside.
Anyway, I've had mine for years now and I've kind of grown to love my "seventeen" booty. If you can't beat 'em... 😍
