Let’s talk collagen

Ahhhh the joys of aging…. 

Ever looked at older women and think “holy crap…that’s gonna be me one day”? Hey, don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with aging. But, most of us find the wrinkles, age spots, etc. hard to accept. 

We cannot stop aging but we can certainly slow it down and the earlier you start, the better. I started moisturising at 17-18…I remember this because I was diving into my mom’s facial moisturiser. 

Collagen is a protein produced by our bodies that is found in our skin, bones, tendons and muscles. It gives our skin elasticity, strength and replaces dead skin cells. As we age our collagen production slows down causing wrinkles, “loose” skin, etc. I can go on and on about collagen but if you do some research you will learn now important collagen really is. 

You can take a collagen supplement like I do because it is said that our bodies cannot absorb collagen through the skin so basically skin creams really can’t do much. That was until I discovered GENIUS Liquid Collagen™ by Algenist (pictured above). It is a collagen-based, unique vegan formula of plant collagen and Microalgae Oil beads that helps restore skin’s bounce and resilience in just 10 days (based on product trials). There are 13,000 beads of Microalgae Oil in each bottle, which is naturally sourced and sustainably produced, rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9, and a natural source of Vitamin E. 

Does it work? YES! I saw results in just 3 days! It’s pricey but worth every dollar! If this is in your budget then splurge on yourself and try it. I usually try not to go over my budget but this is one of the products I will never stop using and will always save to buy.
