Collagen is a protein in our body that loses its elasticity over time, creating those pesky crow's feet and laugh lines as we get older.

Now, according to Delish.com, people are adding it to their coffee in hopes of getting clearer, younger skin.

There isn't much research to back up those claims but the little there is shown that people who took a collagen supplement every day for eight weeks saw a 20 percent reduction in wrinkles.
