can your skin regenerate collegen and elastin if you are a young age?
I am still a teenager but I have abused my skin in the past, sun-overexposure and 2 years of smoking. I was wondering, if my skin can repair most of the damage on it’s own? I take really good care of my skin now High-end sunscreen with no more smoking.Plus regulary exfoliating and taking herbal/vitamin supplements. Does my skin have the ability to regenerate and heal on it’s own, without the use of anti-aging products to keep me from premature signs of aging? My skin has no visable signs of damage. So by taking excellent care of my skin NOW and being so young, do I still have to suffer 10-15 years from now?
The source below discusses anti-aging skin care. Sun exposure and smoking are two of the main reasons for premature skin aging.
It looks like you’re on the right track. Most people your age are not worried about taking care of their skin.
Yes, your skin will regenerate itself. You can add fruits and veggies high in Vitamin C to help build collagen. Pomegranate and blueberries are 2 with high antioxidant content.

if your skin didnt regenerate you’d look 60. Thats why old people look old, and young people dont. You stop producing as much collegen and natural moisturizers as you age. Most people start being careful about sun/exfoliating etc. in their 20′s.
the body has fantastic ability to repair and heal, it’s in it’s nature, but if you’re over 40 you should use anti aging products like serums, vit. C, E, A, and peptide moisturizer,
good moisture mask and exfoliate once a week.
Ho don’t forget to get facials once a month.
