When it comes to supporting collagen, I’ve tried a lot. But over time, I’ve found a handful of essentials that actually make a visible difference—for texture, bounce, and glow. Here’s what I use on the regular:
1. OMNILUX MEN Red Light Mask
I use this 3–5 times a week. Red and near-infrared light helps stimulate collagen, reduce inflammation, and support skin repair at a cellular level. It’s one of the few devices I truly stand by and its medical grade.

2. Mindful Skin Face Tonic
This lightweight serum is a staple in my morning and evening routine. It combines Kakadu Plum (natural Vitamin C) with multiple weights of hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and prep the skin for anything that follows. It also helps with product absorption and barrier support.
3. Plump & Lift Vitamin C Emulsion
Think of this as collagen food. With marine collagen peptides and a stable form of Vitamin C, it helps brighten, firm, and support fibroblast activity—those little collagen-producing machines inside your skin.
4. Beauty Sleep Night Cream
Encapsulated 1% retinol helps boost collagen production and improve skin texture overnight. It’s gentle, effective, and perfect for sensitive skin.
als helps you get a good nights sleep which is essential for collagen production.
5. Daily SPF 50
Still the best collagen protector we have. Sun = collagen’s worst enemy.
(Current fave Wot Not BB+ cream with spf 40)
6. Collagen from the Inside Out
I take California Gold Collagen UP—a blend with collagen, hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, and D3. One scoop a day in water supports hydration, elasticity, and skin resilience from within.
7. Low-Sugar, High-Protein Diet
Collagen starts in the kitchen. I focus on skin-loving foods like bone broth, berries, leafy greens, and protein-rich meals that reduce inflammation and support regeneration.
8. Stress reduction
I'm very mindful of noticing when stress is creeping in and make sure to carve time out to rest mind and body, this looks different depending on what I feel will work at the time, my go to's are breathwork, meditation, gentle yoga, and time in nature just doing nothing but noticing the peace.
High cortisol breaks down collagen so make sure to rest when you need it.
These are the things I actually use, and yes, I see the difference when I take a break. It’s not about perfection; it’s about consistency and feeding your skin what it really needs.
