Which habits silently 'drain' your collagen, leading to wrinkled skin?

Excessive consumption of bubble tea, staying up late, and overusing electronic devices are habits that deplete collagen, leading to the appearance of wrinkles on the skin.

1. Consuming large amounts of bubble tea

Bubble tea is a favorite beverage for many women; however, it is not beneficial for the skin. Research published in *Food Science & Nutrition* indicates that an average cup of bubble tea contains approximately 37 grams of sugar. Meanwhile, the American Heart Association recommends a maximum daily sugar intake of 25 grams for adults. Consuming too much sugar interferes with the ability of collagen to bind, thereby accelerating skin aging.

Drinking bubble tea not only leads to weight gain but also causes the skin to become wrinkled.

2. Prolonged stress

Many studies have shown that stress is a primary trigger for inflammation. It impairs the body’s natural healing capacity and breaks down collagen bonds, accelerating skin aging. Dermatologist Dao Ngoc Anh explains that chronic stress can lead to insulin resistance. When insulin function is compromised, blood sugar levels rise, which promotes a process called glycation. This interferes with the elasticity of skin tissues and results in the formation of deep wrinkles.

3. Excessive use of electronic devices

Frequent exposure to blue light from electronic devices—such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops—can accelerate skin aging. Research published in the *International Journal of Cosmetic Science* indicates that blue light disrupts the skin’s renewal cycle, leading to cumulative damage over time. According to dermatologist Shari Marchbein, blue light not only contributes to the development of hyperpigmentation and dark spots but also breaks down collagen, causing the skin to sag and become more prone to wrinkles.

Blue light from electronic devices accelerates the aging process.

4. Staying up late

When you sleep, your body dedicates time and energy to repairing and regenerating skin cells. Quality sleep offers numerous benefits for both your health and your skin—including stimulating collagen production and accelerating skin recovery and renewal. A lack of sleep disrupts these repair processes, causing the skin to lose elasticity, altering its structure, and accelerating aging. Research published in the *European Heart Journal-Digital Health* indicates that the ideal time to begin restorative sleep is between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM. Therefore, if you want a radiant, healthy, and glowing complexion, you should avoid staying up late.
