Collagen, Beauty, and Health in your 30s

After the energetic, ageless twenties, heading into your thirties heralds a few changes. Collagen levels are starting to decline, and the very first signs of aging may begin to appear - you may notice fine lines, small wrinkles, pigmentation, loss of firmness, and a general lack of radiance in your skin. It is the ideal time to adopt healthy habits and start paying more attention to your health, laying the foundation for the years to come.

While your skin may be holding up reasonably well, giving it some extra love now can help to mitigate the effects of aging in your forties and fifties. Use active skincare, apply sun protection on your face every day, eat well, and avoid toxins like cigarette smoke. What you do now will show on your face decades later!

If you're serious about anti-aging, then consider supplementing with peptide collagen to keep your collagen stores and production optimal. Collagen helps to increase hydration in the skin not only on the face but all over the body, and it supports hair and nails as well as healthy joint function.

Tips For Healthy Aging In Your 30s

• Feed your skin morning and night. Use potent skincare to help your skin as you age. Adashiko Collagen + Noni gel contains a blend of active ingredients to fight the signs of aging and soothe and hydrate the skin. 

• Keep your skin out of the sun! This is a biggie - sun exposure is one of the leading causes of skin aging. It takes many years for sun damage to show up on the skin, so while getting a tan may feel good now, in twenty years you will be wearing the effects on your face and body.

• Find a form of exercise that you enjoy. We all know how crucial it is to stay active, not just for weight management, but for general health. Choosing an activity that you love will enable you to stick to it long-term. 

• Supplement wisely. Choose quality supplements and consult a naturopath or medical professional if you need help creating a regime. Vitamin C, all the vitamin Bs, zinc, peptide collagen, and fish oil are all excellent choices to support healthy aging throughout the body. 

Five minutes with Tamara

How long have you been taking Adashiko?

I've been taking it for two years. I feel lucky that I got on to it before I turned thirty!

Benefits you have noticed?

Initially, I definitely noticed a huge improvement in my hair, skin, and nails. My lashes grew too. After I had my babies I was left with a lot of stretch marks, and now they are barely noticeable, and the elasticity on my stomach is great. So that's been a big benefit for me.

How do you like to take your Adashiko?

I take mine in my morning coffee religiously. It's part of my morning routine now, so I never forget to take it.

What else do you like to do to stay healthy and youthful?

I'm a busy mum, but I like to exercise and go walking whenever I can, and I try to eat healthily. I'm generally mindful of health and want to be a good example to my children. I also think it's really important to take time out for yourself now and then, especially when you're a mum.

What's your daily beauty regime?

I'm super low-maintenance! I cleanse and use my Collagen + Noni Gel. I use the gel every single day, and that's all I have to use on my skin. It's so easy and suits my busy lifestyle.

What piece of advice would you give your younger self?

Don't beat yourself up about your health and body image - be happy with who you are.
