Would You Eat These Collagen Marshmallows?
We've heard about the chocolate that treats acne and the drink that makes you more beautiful, so now what's next? Why, delicious collagen marshmallows (£10, or approximately $14) with pink grapefruit flavor. Vegetarians beware, as this product contains gelatin.
Yum! This Chocolate Treats Acne
Oddly enough, an ingredient that has long been associated with causing acne (turns out it doesn't) is now being used to help alleviate the condition. I think I have died and gone to heaven. Frutels Acne Care in a Chocolate ($38 to $69) is a treatment that works from the inside out, using antioxidants and micronutrients sans artificial ingredients, preservatives, and chemicals to clarify the skin.
Can a Drink Make You More Beautiful?
Those of you who have been reading for a while know that beauty supplements and I don't get along so well. I didn't see any improvement with my Borba experiment, but I'm willing to give things another try. Enter Glowelle, a nutraceutical drink from Nestlé.
Would You Drink Beauty Water?
Although I found my Borba experience to be a dud, I'm still intrigued by the idea of complexion-perfecting supplements. The latest launch is an English water called Beauty. It's a spring water that contains an anti-acne protein said to boost the body's bacteria-fighting abilities.
Doing Drugstore: Nature's Cure Acne Treatment
You know how you can go to Walgreens, and the bottom of the shelf has a bunch of unusual products you've never heard of? Well, I saw Nature's Cure Acne Treatment ($9.99), a homeopathic remedy for acne, and thought it sounded a bit quacky. After all, I'd had bad luck with a previous fling with supplements.
Do You Think Beauty Supplements Work?
A new study reports that Brits spend £37 million (almost $75 million) on beauty supplements such as Borba and Perfectil. I've gotta be honest with you: I've tried supplements, and all they've done is aggravate my skin. Some friends rave about them, but I've tried three different brands and haven't seen anything close to the amazing results that were promised.
New Product Alert: Vitabiotics Perfectil
It's silly, but any product with the word "perfect" in its name is bound to get my attention. Vitabiotics Perfectil ($16.99), already popular in Europe and Britain, is a vitamin supplement that promises to improve hair, skin and nails by providing 22 necessary nutrients. For instance, it contains grape seed extract to fight aging, copper to strengthen hair, and vitamin E to improve hair's strength and shine.
Are Hair and Nail Supplements Bad For Your Skin?
I feel like it's my duty to tell you guys when there is something I don't love just as much as it is to tell you about something I do love. I have thin hair and I bite my nails, so when I saw these Phytophanere Dietary Supplement for Hair & Nails, $50, I was convinced that this was going to help me out in a big way. Lots of my pregnant girlfriends swear that vitamin supplements have significantly sped up the growth process of their hair and nails and additionally improved their strength.
