For internal nourishment and maintenance, before the age of 25, I really didn't pay much attention. Youthful ignorance, I could go out with a bare face, and many times, I didn't even apply sunscreen. The consequence was that after 25, the small spots on my nose became significantly worse! Even BB cream couldn't completely cover them up, and my cheeks were obviously larger than before. Comparing with old photos, I was startled to find that my entire face had a relaxed feeling. Oh my god, I'm only 29 years old, what a tragedy.
Afterwards, I started paying attention to skincare in a hurry. I applied sunscreen all year round, ate an apple every day, consistently supplemented vitamin C, drank collagen peptide after drinking aloe vera powder for two months. My sleep improved a lot, and my mental state was good. However, during the time when I drank pollen, my stomach was always uncomfortable. I don't know if it was due to irritation. After stopping, I started drinking Qilemei collagen peptide. I originally planned to buy Fancl, but my aunt kept drinking this brand, so she pulled me into a group-buy, and we stocked up together.
Now, it's been exactly three months since I started drinking it. In the first month, there wasn't any obvious feeling. In the second month, I began to notice that my skin was brighter than before, especially right after washing my face in the morning. Without using skincare products, the luster was particularly good, and my whole face seemed to be shining. Now in the third month, carefully looking in the mirror, I can see that my pores are much finer than before. My nose used to be oily, but now it's almost non-existent, directly saving me the cost of buying oil-absorbing paper. Also, my skin has become whiter. Before, I wasn't dark, but yellowish, especially my forehead which was more yellow, and my skin tone was uneven. Now, it's basically more even, which I am quite satisfied with.
I drink it at night before sleeping, mixed with milk. It feels okay, not too strong in flavor. Many people who drink collagen peptides say the taste is bad and smelly, which should be a quality issue. Things you consume must be handled with caution. Also, you can take it with vitamin C, which is said to promote collagen absorption. However, I didn't do that because I eat apples or tomatoes every day, so I don't need extra supplementation. For those who don't like eating fruits, you can try it. My aunt has an upgraded version: collagen peptide + almond powder + honey + milk. Hehe, she's really stronger than me. Interested friends can give it a try!
