Gloww-ing skin? I Got You!

 

Year 2011, I've done a contest giving away GLOWW.

Imagine, it has been more than 11 years and I am back writing about this brand once again.  A brand that has been around for many years.  And I do not mind writing about this once again as I am a true believer of nourishing your skin from the inside.

Gloww Collagen is a food supplement powder to help improve skin elasticity, smoothness and moisturization to achieve youthful, beautiful and healthy skin.

Before raising an eyebrow on me regarding talks of Collagen powder intake, I can back you up with some benefits of taking such with my personal experience.  To some, they see NO results in taking collagen powder, they call it a waste of money.  But for me, I have been taking Collagen powder religiously since the start of pandemic and I can see results - even my friends say so!

This is my skin today, with just powder as base makeup - I am proud of my 43 year old skin.

Collagen is a type of protein that is found in our bones and skin.  They support many tissues from bones, cartilage to skin, hair, eyes and even our digestive system.  I for one was iffy in taking anything "Extra" aside from my multivitamins.  For someone who works as a researcher, it is normal for me to be doubtful and I always make myself feel better and more confident with constant research.

Based from research, I've found nothing but benefits of taking collagen supplements for both health and skin.

Why do we need to take collagen supplements when collagen are readily available in the food we intake?

I would say, these are not enough.  With added the sun exposure, stress that I encounter on a daily basis.  Those can easily decrease the amount of collagen needed by our body.  And before we go whining on not seeing results (I hear ya!  I am an impatient gal myself!)  Most results vary and can be seen around 8-15 weeks time or even more depending on your body.

As for me, I've started to see results as early as 2 months (8 weeks time).

So now, you've got the lowdown on Collagen, let me talk about my experience drinking GLOWW Collagen.  

"Gloww collagen has 2,500mg pure and potent Verisol collagen made in Germany. It’s especially formulated to be easily absorbed by the skin, resulting into a more youthful skin after 8 weeks of continued use. "

Recogen Collagen Drink

 

Call me hardworking in a lot of things but I accept calling me Lazy when it comes to drinking my vitamins or taking my health supplements.

I only got a change of heart during the start of Lockdown due to COVID-19.

I have been working from home for so many years but busy going in and out of home to send my son to and from school, attend events, work as a professional skincare and makeup trainer to going for meetings with clients for my PR work!  

Not only that, I was able to squeeze in workout time at the gym for the past 2 years doing Muay Thai, Boxing and HIIT training.

The lockdown shook my world.  I got stressed, my body settled to a potato couch life and I felt a lot of pains from a simple task like housework!  

I honestly lost the interest to move forward for the next 3 months after lockdown.  Thankfully, with the help of my son and husband plus the happiness of creating content online and my regular job, I was able to jump back to my normal self but the “workout” side didn’t really thrive. 

For the year 2021, I vouched to get back to more workouts!  Not just short lazy workouts but workout that really shoot my heart rate up!  And with that, I am more open to take supplements.  Thankfully, I was introduced to RECOGEN.

Recogen is a collagen powdered drink that aims to help restore and maintain healthy joints while doing mobility exercises,, regenerate cartilage and collagen in the joints in a safe and natural way.  

This can be taken daily and results may vary with individuals but difference can be felt within 48 weeks.  

Recogen contains 100-percent pure and Short Bioactive Collagen Peptides (BCP) from Germany.  Collagen peptide are amino acids that provide structure to the body’s bones, skin, tendons and ligaments that is naturally produced by the body to connect our joints.  This can also help contribute to imrpoving skin elasticity and join health including development of muscle mass and growth.

So I have tried this on various drinks for a week and loving how this can be easily dissolved in drinks.  This product is odorless and tasteless and thankfully, NO SUGAR added so it never sweetened my drinks (I don’t add sugar on my drinks btw!). 

Though I am a coffee drinker, it is best not to dissolve Recogen on caffeine drinks like Coffee and Tea instead, I like to mix it with just regular water or milk!  

 

Recogen is distributed in the Philippines by Dyna Drug Corporation and available at goodwill.market/ for Php.2,900 for 30 sachets. For more information about Recogen, Dyna Drug Corp. and its other products, visit www.dynadrug.com.

Pure Beauty Collagen Review

 

For someone who writes so much into beauty.  You would be surprised to know that I only recently welcome supplements like Collagen and Glutathione.  

For some reason, I am scared to "change whatever works for me" which is funny because as a beauty/product review, I am required to test all these new stuff.

But I said NO so many times until lockdown.  After taking in more health supplements, I honestly saw some positive effects on doing so, so I explored on beauty-related supplements which did not fail me by the way!

Let's talk about Collagen.  Are collagen drinks really effective?  What are the benefits?

Based from research, you can see some common keywords:

1. Can improve skin's health,
2. Increase collagen for the skin.
3. Help relieve joint pain, boost muscle mass and prevent bone loss.
4. Can help improve skin texture.

And so much more!

Rule of thumb, never take supplements for instant result!  I for once have this "patience" in waiting for result thus I find myself staying on the safe side!  There are some instant results that could be harmful for your health but of course, everything depends on you, and if unsure, always check with a doctor.

One thing for sure, we have been seeing the term "Collagen" in so many beauty products nowadays.  Collagen is a protein that keeps your tissues and bones together thus prevent "Sagging".  If you ask me if this can reverse aging, well, keep in mind that you have to consider many factors such as - genetics, environment, stress, and a whole lot more!  

Taking collagen drinks or collagen infused skincare products may help give better elasticity and bounce for your skin thus slowing down the aging process but you have to consider about your diet as well!

Pure Beauty Advanced Collagen with Probiotics Beauty Repair Drink

2500 per box (10bottles total of 1Liter)

Dosage: 1bottle every other night

Seller: https://www.instagram.com/glutatherapy/

So recently, I actively drank Pure Beauty Collagen with Probiotics drink and it was the first brand I went serious with.  Serious meaning I took it regularly and I am finally understanding the craze!

I finished a box of 10 drink recently and I am surprised to see results!  Results that aren't too obvious but I know my skin/body well so I know it worked!  

AMW says ---

• Tastes good.  Best drank straight from fridge.
• Skin looks glowing.
• Skin is never dry even if I don't use lotions.
• My fingers do not have as much pain compared to pre-drinking.  I have issues with my fingers ever since I gave birth and I think the Pure Beauty Collagen drink helped.
• Everyone noticed my I look fresher.
• The presence of Probiotics helped my regular upset tummy!  I have better digestion and better bowel movement (sorry TMI) 

Overall, I am welcoming the presence of Collagen supplements and drinks in my life.  I just have to be careful in choosing the brand but so far, Pure Beauty Collagen from Japan worked for me.

Do you take Collagen drinks or supplements?
What other good brands can you recommend?
