### 5. **Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage**
One of the leading causes of collagen breakdown is sun exposure. Ultraviolet (UV) rays damage collagen fibers, leading to premature aging of the skin, including wrinkles, sagging, and age spots. To protect your skin, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even during cloudy weather or in winter months. Wearing hats and protective clothing, and seeking shade when necessary, can also help prevent collagen damage from UV rays.
In recent years, collagen supplements have gained popularity as a way to support skin health. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides, which are broken down into smaller molecules for easier absorption, are often found in supplement form and are said to support collagen production. Some studies suggest that taking collagen supplements can improve skin elasticity, hydration, and the appearance of wrinkles. If you choose to try collagen supplements, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the right dosage for your needs.
