The sun and vegan diets destroy collagen in the skin, the "building block" for cell reconstruction. What needs to be done
The sun breaks down collagen fibers from within. The same goes for cigarette smoke. Collagen represents the skin's structural strength. It can be considered the "reinforced concrete" of the skin. The sun destroys it.
We can maintain it with sunscreen creams, used all year round. Thanks to collagen, the skin looks firm.

Dr. Mihaela Leventer, primary dermatologist: "Collagen is a protein and we know it well, we can recognize it when we boil meat and bones, the resulting gelatin is collagen. Paradoxically, cosmetic collagen is not a stimulator of skin collagen, but a high moisturizing agent".
Cosmetic products containing collagen hydrate the skin. But they do not regenerate the collagen inside the skin.
Dr. Mihaela Leventer, primary dermatologist: "Then we recommend products containing retinoids, which, by exfoliating the skin, reduce wrinkles and stimulate the formation of new cells. Other treatments, such as laser therapy, especially fractional laser, which penetrate the skin like a bundle of thin needles and stimulate the growth of new cells".
"People who eat vegan experience significant loss of elastic structure"
Dr. Mihaela Leventer, primary dermatologist: "Diets, people who eat vegan experience significant loss of elastic structure, even in vegetarians. I observe this change in skin elasticity".
Once we consume complete proteins from meat, eggs and cheeses, the body correctly transforms them into "building bricks". With their help, it rebuilds its own cells.
Structurally, complete proteins from meat, eggs and cheeses have three groupings. The body also brings forth these same three groupings.
They fit together. But they do not fit well with plant proteins. And cells, including collagen, will not be efficiently rebuilt.
