Yup — inflammation = collagen breakdown is a key concept in skin health. Here's a quick breakdown to help you explain it clearly in a post (carousel, reel, or caption style):
🔥 Inflammation = Collagen Breakdown 😬
When your body is inflamed — from sugar, stress, lack of sleep, or processed foods — it triggers enzymes that actually break down collagen.
That’s right. The stuff that keeps your skin:
✨ Firm
✨ Smooth
✨ Youthful
Inflammation says “nope” and starts breaking it down like:
❌ Fine lines
❌ Wrinkles
❌ Sagging
❌ Dull skin
The worst part? You might not even feel inflamed… but your skin shows it.
💡 What You Can Do:
✅ Eat more anti-inflammatory foods (berries, leafy greens, salmon, turmeric)
✅ Ditch the processed sugar & seed oils
✅ Sleep, hydrate, and stress less
✅ Support your gut (because inflammation often starts there)
✅ Protect your skin barrier with gentle skincare
