Is the summer holiday over, and is it about time to get back to your good habits? We're here to support you every step of the way, so you can take care of your skin and natural beauty.
Back from holiday & back to good habits
Summer is coming to an end, and it's time to get back to the everyday routines. After a well-deserved holiday, it can be challenging to return to good habits. But fear not – with a few simple steps, you can quickly resume your healthy lifestyle while enhancing your beauty from within.
One of the best ways to get started again is by making marine collagen a part of your daily routine. Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin elastic and beautiful, while also reducing signs of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines. With Vild Nord marine collagen, you can easily give your body the boost it needs.
Remember your collagen & stay hydrated
If you've been on summer holiday, you've probably spent more time outdoors than usual. As a result, both you and your skin have benefited from the sun's warm rays – perhaps even a bit too much?
Daylight, particularly the sun's rays, is the main source of vitamin D, which plays a major role in how we feel. Moreover, sunlight influences the production of serotonin, a brain chemical that affects sleep, appetite, and many other functions.
Unfortunately, your skin can get too much sun, which is why you need to take care of both it and yourself, especially during the summer months.
Did you know that the sun is one of the biggest sinner when it comes to wrinkles? Overexposing your skin to those life-giving and warm rays can sadly have damaging effects, including breaking down collagen, which is responsible for keeping the skin firm and elastic. You can still enjoy the sun and your beautiful summer tan, but remember to use sunscreen and avoid overexposure to protect your skin as best as possible. 
What to eat for healthy skin in the summer
Beautiful and healthy skin requires care, love, and attention all year round to stay in top shape. But what does it mean to give your skin care and love? It’s about eating healthily and being mindful that what you put in your mouth benefits your skin – as long as what you eat is rich in good nutrients.
5 foods that are good for your skin:
- Watermelon is an amazing fruit in the summer, as it's packed with water and helps keep you hydrated. If you sometimes forget to drink enough, watermelon is a great supplement throughout the day.
- Carrots aren't just great to eat in the summer, but all year round. However, in the summer, their beta-carotene content, which acts as a strong pigment, can help give your skin a more natural glow.
- Berries come in many varieties: strawberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, and many more. Many of these berries contain vitamin C and beneficial antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body's cells from oxidation, which can occur when cells are exposed to harmful substances or the sun's rays.
- Tomatoes in salads or as a side dish really taste like summer. Not only are they delicious, but they also contain a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and lycopene. Per 100 grams of tomatoes, you get 165 RE of vitamin A and 992 mcg of beta-carotene (source: fooddata.dk).
- Bell peppers are an exceptional source of the wonderful vitamin C, which supports normal collagen formation. Many people think that citrus fruits contain the most vitamin C, as the vitamin is often associated with tangy fruits like oranges and lemons. However, red bell peppers actually contain more of this collagen-boosting vitamin.
Improve your diet & get off to a great start with Vild Nord collagen
Want to give your skin an extra boost from within? Vild Nord collagen is the perfect addition to your daily diet. Collagen is an essential protein that supports the skin's elasticity and firmness, helping to reduce the signs of ageing.
By adding a spoonful of Vild Nord collagen to your smoothies, yogurt, or morning coffee, you can easily enhance your skin’s health and achieve a more radiant and beautiful glow. Integrate Vild Nord collagen into your daily routine and experience the difference in your skin’s appearance and well-being. Our collagen has a clinically documented effect after 8-12 weeks of use.
Depending on what you want to use your collagen for, you can choose either a heat-resistant or non-heat-resistant variant. Our Pure Marine Collagen is the only heat-resistant option, as it contains nothing but 100% marine collagen. It can withstand heating and can be used in both coffee and tea, but it’s also perfect for your other favourite juices, smoothies, and dishes.
Lemon Marine Collagen is enriched with vitamin C and therefore cannot withstand heating, as the vitamin breaks down. You’ll still benefit from the collagen, but if you want to maintain the effects of vitamin C, avoid dissolving this variant in hot drinks or food.
It’s easy to use marine collagen from Vild Nord – just take a look at these 10 simple ways to incorporate our collagen. There’s sure to be one or more methods that fit into your daily routine.
