Benefits of gelatin for the skin and hair
A study from the University of Granada (Spain) found that as you age, you produce less and less collagen and you have to make up the deficit from the food you eat. Collagen is one of the most important proteins in the body, essential for maintaining good overall health as well as strong bones, skin, nail, and hair.

How to avoid losing collagen
Something as simple as leading a healthy lifestyle can help you not to lose your collagen levels so quickly. If you start adding foods that are high in collagen, it can help compensate for this deficit.
Certain factors like stress, tobacco use, exposure to too much sunlight, and a poor diet can accelerate this almost irretrievable loss of collagen in the body.
Using gelatin every day as a nutritional supplement will strengthen your skin and hair, restoring elasticity, health, and beauty. Check out how you can take advantage of its properties with these easy face masks.
