Adriana added that she started taking collagen in her 30s, which she believes has had a huge impact on the way she looks today.
Collagen improves the elasticity of your skin, preventing fine lines and wrinkles.
Do not tan
Adriana said she never goes to a tanning bed and that she hates lying in the sun.
Sun exposure can lead to premature signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines.
Adriana prefers to use self-tanner to give herself a natural glow.
Water
Adriana makes sure she drinks two to three liters of water a day.
“I really try to keep track of how much I drink throughout the day,” she said.
“It has a big impact on your appearance.”
Drinking water helps the skin retain moisture and elasticity, which can reduce wrinkles and signs of premature aging.
