184: Is Collagen Good For Eczema, Psoriasis + Other Skin Rashes?

The Healthy Skin Show

Have you wondered if collagen could be helpful for your rashes and skin health?

I’ve been asked if collagen is good for eczema or psoriasis more times than I can count.

Recently I got a ton of requests from our community about collagen so I figured it was time to do a deep dive into the pros and cons of using collagen.

To be fair, collagen isn’t good for everyone (and I talk more about that in this article).

But for many, they might find that it could give an extra boost to their health AND skin on their journey. I personally take collagen daily and recommend it to clients.

So here are my thoughts on all things collagen!

In this episode:

• What is collagen + where is it found naturally in food?
• Do vegan or plant-based sources of collagen exist?
• Topical steroids + collagen production in your body
• Thoughts on topical collagen for thinned skin
• How to add collagen to your daily diet
• What to look for when buying a collagen supplement
• Who should avoid collagen supplements

Quotes:

There’s no such thing as vegan collagen, nor plant-based sources of collagen because it’s only made in animals + fish.

It’s still unclear if collagen supplements can help skin that’s been thinned from topical steroid use.
