Stretch Marks, Cellulite And Wrinkles – Learn How Gelatin Takes Care Of It All!
Stretch marks occur when the collagen level dwindles. And the collagen level goes down due to age or hormonal imbalance. To cut it short, your body NEEDS collagen to keep itself looking young. And the only ingredient that has proven to show considerable hike in your body's collagen level is gelatin.
So, how to use gelatin on skin?
Now, let's be realistic here. Though applying these ingredients topically will show a difference, nothing works faster than infusing it directly into your bloodstream.
So, binge on collagen-promoting foods like gelatin, lean meat, foods rich in vitamin C and zinc. And then, combine topical masks to really see a difference. Trust us, they work better than botox!
So, how do herbal gelatin masks really work?
Gelatin is a water-soluble protein, with roughly 35% amino acids, 11% alanine and 21% hydroxyproline, which has a potential to transform your skin!
