Love your skin with Lennox Collagen this August + baking Berry Souffle Cheese recipe

What do you know about collagen?

When some one mentioned collagen, what do you think or what you know about it? If you're into beauty things, you definitely heard good things about collagen. But first collagen is found in our own body. So why do we still need collagen intake? As aging, your own collagen production will be lesser thus you need to eat more healthily or else top up with some supplement. In the market you'll see there're many types or brand that claim to be benefit to your body especially in beauty lines. In case you don't know, collagen is widely use in medical line.

So what kind of collagen is best for supplement? Look for hydrolyzed collagen cause it's reduced to small peptides which can be ingested in the form of a dietary supplement or functional foods and beverages with the intent to aid joint and bone health and enhance skin health.

Hydrolyzed collagen has a much smaller molecular weight in comparison to native collagen or gelatin. Studies suggest that more than 90 % of hydrolyzed collagen is digested and available as small peptides in the blood stream within one hour. From the blood, the peptides containing hydroxyproline are transported into the target tissues such as skin, bones and cartilage, where the peptides act as building blocks for local cells and help to boost the production of new collagen fibers.

So at Lennox, products are manufactured in Malaysia and are backed by continuous research and development. All Lennox products are made using natural, organic and carefully selected ingredients that are scientifically proven to be safe and effective for your well being. Lennox use aqueous marine collagen (fish) which is 100 % water soluble and has a low molecular weight for better digestion compared to conventional collagen.

10 days Challenge with Lennox Collagen Firm up + Bright drinks Review
 

A box of Lennox Collagen Firm Up + Bright drinks contain 20 bottles of liquid and powder. It's quite a heavy box due to the bottle glass packaging. Now you may wonder why such packaging, it's too preserved the contains inside. Each bottle serving size at 50ml. Do not forget to mix with the powder provided unlike others brand. Best chilled first, mix and shake well before drink. The taste is strong of grapes concentrated and delicious too.

Since I'm first time user, I took 1 bottle daily at night for 10 days then 1 bottle every 2-3 days at night as suggested so that only can see result.

Since I have back to back travelling by airplane and by cruise, I came back looking tan, mild sunburn and dry skin. When I see a box of Lennox Collagen on my table still haven't opened yet, I quickly read the instructions and plan a 10 days Lennox Collagen Drinking Challenges. The reason is so that I can see the result as Lennox claims.

Lennox claims that you should achieve whitening effect, anti UV protection, hydrating and nourishing skin, reduce formation of wrinkles, skin cell renewal and improve make up application.

Let me tell here if it's work. In the after photo, you can see the redness spot as I can't avoid monthly acne visiting me. So don't think when you're drinking any collagen drinks your acne will not pop out on your face. But one things that I notice by time, my acne recovery is better. Post acne mark look less inflammable, smoother not bumpy, and less darken spot. My skin overall also look more supply, resume to fairer than tan, and most importantly my make up application is way more smoother. I guess drinking collagen does help in my beauty regime.

Personally I think using suitable skin care products at home, occasionally visiting beauty center, eat healthy choice of food, take supplement wisely, balanced lifestyle of work stress and exercise regularly are all part of maintaining youthful look. How about you??
