In the age of age-defying treatments and expensive injections, there’s a quieter, more natural revolution happening in the beauty world: DIY collagen-boosting powders. Collagen is the protein responsible for youthful skin, firm texture, and elasticity—but as we age, our natural collagen production declines. Rather than opting for Botox or costly treatments, these natural powders offer a safer, nutrient-rich alternative to support collagen from the inside out.
Here are three DIY collagen powders made from everyday ingredients that not only enhance skin health but also promote overall well-being.
Packed with amino acids, antioxidants, and skin-firming properties, these powders can be easily added to smoothies, teas, or even just warm water.
Collagen Powder #1: The Radiance Blend
Ingredients Required:
- 1 tbsp organic amla powder (Indian gooseberry, high in vitamin C)
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tbsp dried hibiscus powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (to activate turmeric)
Procedure:
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add all powders together.
- Stir thoroughly until fully blended.
- Store the mixture in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dry place.
Instructions:
Use 1 tbsp daily. You can mix this powder into smoothies, oatmeal, or warm almond milk. Best consumed in the morning for maximum nutrient absorption.
