Why You Should Be Drinking Your Skincare After 25

If you’re over 25, this is your reminder: skincare is not just topical anymore.
Around age 25, collagen production naturally begins to decline — by about 1% every year. At the same time, hyaluronic acid levels drop, which means less natural hydration, less bounce, and less of that plump, youthful look.
Then there’s oxidative stress.
Those unstable molecules called free radicals accelerate collagen breakdown even faster. They’re triggered by everyday exposure — UV rays, pollution, stress, poor sleep. Over time, this internal stress shows up externally as fine lines, dullness, and loss of firmness.
That’s why internal support matters.
Collagen Peptides: Signaling Support
Collagen peptides don’t just “add collagen” to your body. They act as messengers, signaling your skin to produce more of its own collagen. Think of it as stimulating your internal production rather than simply replacing what’s lost.
Oral Hyaluronic Acid: Hydration From Within
Topical hyaluronic acid hydrates the surface. Oral hyaluronic acid works deeper, helping improve skin hydration levels from the inside out. The result? Skin that looks smoother, more supple, and more luminous.
Antioxidants: Protect What You’re Building
Even if you stimulate collagen production, oxidative stress can still break it down. That’s where antioxidants come in.
Hydroxytyrosol — a powerful antioxidant derived from olive trees — helps neutralize free radicals before they damage collagen and elastin. It supports the longevity of the results you’re working to build.
Skincare Is No Longer Just a Serum
Your serums and creams are important. But they work best when paired with internal support.
Because after 25, prevention is easier than correction.
Drinking your skincare isn’t a trend, it’s a strategy.
When you nourish your skin from within and protect it from oxidative stress, you’re not just chasing glow. You’re building resilience.
And that changes everything.
