Finally, if you want firm, bouncy, hydrated skin (I’m assuming that’s everyone here), then you should certainly consider taking collagen. In fact, consuming collagen is crucial for achieving “Jello skin,” a concept that went viral after content creator Ava Lee (otherwise known as Glow With Ava) posted a video of herself mid-facial. 

When her facialist pinches her cheek, it immediately holds its shape. “That just shows you have enough of a support cushion underneath,” her facialist explains. “The way that it bounces… It’s the perfect consistency of Jello. That’s a perfect sign that you have a beautiful level of collagen in the skin.” 

And while you can load up on collagen-rich foods (bone broth, egg whites, etc.), you can get way more bang for your buck by using high-quality collagen supplements. Lee personally loves a collagen matcha latte in the morning, in which she swirls collagen and matcha powder together before pouring over plant-based milk. You can find a host of other easy recipes here, if matcha isn’t your cup of tea.
