Over the past few years I have become quite
obsessed with my wrinkles. Some of the
time, I feel I have earned them, and then at other times I resent them.
I have come to terms with my age, with my
weight loss and the resultant baggy skin and the wrinkles that have appeared
out of nowhere. However, when I had the opportunity
of trying Absolute Collagan by Maxine Laceby I jumped at the chance.
The collagen comes in sachets and they
promise the highest concentration of Type 1 marine collagen in a small daily
dose – which is then supposed to stimulate your natural collagen production.
Call me weird
Before I even looked at the reviews and did my research I wondered if it would taste fishy or if I would get fishy breath. I am happy to report that this is not a side effect at all. It didn’t taste fishy, but it is quite strong, so I mixed it with juice or smoothie.Feedback from others and from me
A little google around the internet will show some amazing reviews and testimonials. I initially only thought of collagen in terms of skin, but of course when I thought about it I realised that it has a really positive effect on hair and nails, both in terms of growth and strength. Now, my nails and hair have been a problem for a while, primarily from medication. My hair thinned a lot, and my nails were really brittle and split vertically and flaked horizontally. I tried Absolute Collagen for 14 days, which means that I probably only got a taste of how good it is for you. If I am honest I can’t see a major difference in my wrinkle situation but where I saw a dramatic difference was in my nails, which are so long and strong I have to file them down, and my hair which has grown and is lovely and shiny. I have no doubt that should I continue, the effect of taking collagen daily would have a long-term impact on my skin too. Over the past while I have tried a number of different approaches to keeping my skin plump, from lotions and potions to vitamins and products such as Absolute Collagen. I have also upped my water intake, and tried, despite the cold to get more exercise. I think on balance, consistency is key. Try things out, and when you find something is working, stick with it. Also, however I truly believe you need to love the skin you are in. Before I go I have to pay tribute to the fabulous woman and inspirational founder of this product Maxine Laceby – read all about her here. Kerry xx
