Skin elixir
Itโs plant based and not derived from animals which I love! As I donโt want dead animal fat inside me ๐
It has 3 powerful ingredients
1 - hyaluronic acid
It has 120mg
We naturally have this in our body anyway which helps us retain moisture, but adding extra in with this drink it helps act like a magnet to draw in moisture and hydrate the skin, keeping our skin plump, supple and youthful like baby skin! it helps our skin retain moisture - meaning fewer fine lines and wrinkles
2- collagen peptides
Collagen is like the bricks that build our skin like bricks build a wall. Itโs a protein which helps our skin elasticity. Over time we make less collagen as we age, meaning sagging skin and thus wrinkles where the brick wall is starting to crumble.
So by adding this drink once a day it helps your body stimulate more collagen, so it helps your body make as much collagen as we did as teens! As oppose to adding in animal collagen (I think of this as the advert when we were kids, give a man in a poor country a fish or a fishing net) so you can add collagen into your day which is like having a fish, or you can have a fishing net and catch fish yourself! So this elixir drink helps your body make collagen like it did 10/20 years ago!
3- biotin
It has 2500mcg which is huge!
This is b7 it helps hair skin and nails! It helps rebuild and repair. So helps with any dryness and any blemishes and helps fight natural free radicals we all face in the world - the air around us is like an iron gate getting rusty with the natural elements, so our skin will naturally be faced with air that wants our skin to โrustโ but biotin helps it fight against this.
Lastly /
Our skin has around 7 layers to it from top to bottom, the top layer is around 2 months old, so the skin at the 7th layer now is being made and wonโt appear at the top for another 6-8 weeks
So this skin elixir works deep at the cellular level so the newest layer! Which many drinks and skincare donโt do, they only work with the top layer, which next week has fallen off and become household dust! So a waste of money and time.
And a side note
There is also sea buckthorn fruit extract in this drink which is known as antioxidant, anti cancer. Anti inflammatory, anti viral benefit.
It has omega 3 and 6 in a perfect ration with omega 9. And the sought after omega 7 - making it fast absorbing and is perfect for the best skin!
Downsides to taking an animal collagen : Fish and bovine collagen supplements may contain contaminants such as heavy metals, toxins, or pollutants. Taking collagen from these sources could trigger allergic reactions.Environmental impact of sourcing collagen from fish or bovine.
