Collagen for hair & skin
Nutri Advanced Skin, Hair + Nails
(£43.45 for 60 capsules, nutriadvanced.co.uk)
This solve-all beauty supplement is a winter-beauty must-have in my eyes, and it didn’t take long before it fitted seamlessly into my daily routine. Not only is it crammed with key beauty supporting nutrients such as biotin and CoQ10, it also contains antioxidants and botanical extracts, plus 200mg collagen. I particularly loved that the capsules can be opened and sprinkled onto food, as well as taken with meals. The capsules are also easy to swallow for a boost to your daily wellness routine.
Innermost The Glow Booster
(£29.95 for 20 servings, liveinnermost.com)
I love a product that comes with gravitas, and this collagen powder has its benefits backed by science, which is always a bonus. Aiming to do just what it says on the packaging, it’s been formulated to help promote a cherished wellness glow from within. Collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C are the main players that help improve skin elasticity, smooth skin and dewiness. I added it to my post-workout smoothie and was impressed with the way it blended smoothly into my shake.
