for blotchy skin, green tea helps even out skin tone and the antioxidants in it help keep it looking fresh.

Collagen production is reduced as we age. Is this inevitable or is there something you can so to prevent this.

. . .like through health or diet?

I've heard that Coenzyme Q-10 can boost collagen production, but would you have to continue taking it indefinitely?

It would have no effect.
Food supplements are not invented and marketed because they are effective (in which case they would also likely have side effects), but rather because most likely they are not, since they are abundantly present in the body anyway. Be smart, save your many, and don't worry about the collagen, I have not seen anyone die from lack of collagen (nor of coenzyme Q).
