As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elastin, and moisture, which can make fine lines and wrinkles more noticeable. While no drink can erase wrinkles in just a few days, staying hydrated and getting enough key nutrients can help your skin look healthier and more radiant over time.
Many people over 60 choose to add a collagen supplement to their daily glass of water. Research suggests that collagen peptides may help improve skin hydration and elasticity when taken consistently for several months as part of a balanced diet.
What You Need
- 1 glass (250–300 ml) of water
- 1 serving of unflavoured collagen peptides (follow the package directions)
- Optional: a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for flavour and a source of vitamin C
How to Prepare
- Pour fresh water into a glass.
- Add the recommended serving of collagen peptides.
- Stir until completely dissolved.
- Add lemon juice if desired.
- Drink once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
Tips for Healthier-Looking Skin
- Drink enough water throughout the day.
- Eat protein-rich foods and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
- Include foods high in vitamin C, which supports normal collagen formation.
- Wear sunscreen daily to protect against UV damage.
- Get adequate sleep and avoid smoking.
What to Expect
Healthy skin changes usually happen gradually. If collagen supplements help, improvements in hydration and skin elasticity are typically seen after 8–12 weeks of consistent use—not within a few days. Results vary from person to person.
Important: If you have kidney disease, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have other medical conditions, speak with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
