SKINADE - skincare from within.

Skinade*

SKINADE the product

This 150ml ready to drink formula is designed to deliver essential nutrients in liquid form enabling high absorption.

As we age our skin loses it's firmness and youth-fullness, collagen depletes and we start to notice the fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, blemishes - we have more skin issues and start filling our shelves with more products to counteract our ever changing ageing skin. These wondrous bottles of creams, lotions, oils and serums (which you know I adore), all help the initial appearance of the skins surface but by no means can they work miracles. 

Skinade is the internal skincare product, although you will see results externally (more of that later). 

This bottle a day drink works from within helping with collagen formation and the general functioning of the skin. 

Pout thoughts;

*Easy to use, one bottle a day with my breakfast, delicious taste, refreshing. Far easier to use than the powdered varieties out there.

*If you have ever used effervescent vitamin tablets, this is a very similar taste.

*After 3-4 days I was visiting the loo quite often (TMI, but I need to be clear in my reviews, so I must mention everything), only for a wee but it was quite often, this wore off after a week and I was back to my normal habits. 

*After 3-4 days I began to notice a difference in the texture and general look of my skin, firstly I must point out that with anything new I generally stop any products that I know I get results with to ensure that my trial of products are not affected or compromised by anything else. So it meant stopping my beloved Sunday Riley beauties. 

*I noted on several of my Instagram pictures that I needed less and less of base products as my skin was positively much brighter, smoother and the tone was even and not as pigmented. I continue to see my skin respond to my daily intake of this drink, the brighter tone is the most obvious. Couldn't be happier.

*I have had several compliments about my skin and general look since beginning Skinade, it really has made a difference. 

*Even with makeup people have asked more about the skincare I am using and the routine involved.

*One thing I noted was how quickly I missed this product, after a dental op I had a couple of days without Skinade and noticed a difference in my general health and facially. I was quickly snacking again and my skin lost a certain brightness. Back on it and I felt better in a few days, not as hungry and skin was smoother and looked alive.

Sadly at the end of my supply of Skinade and there is a clearness to my skin, it is brighter. There is a even tone also. (no filter or retouching of photo)

*As a girl who loves her food I have noticed a change in my appetite, I am still eating (of course) but my need to snack has left me, I feel sufficiently full after main meals. I also feel more energised, although the sunshine has certainly helped with this also. 

*I have been delighted with this 30 day trial of Skinade, without a doubt it has worked for me and my 44 year old body and face, hugely impressed with my skin and it's obvious glowing brightness and smoothness. 

The thought of finishing this pr supply does worry me, I want to see how my skin changes when I do come to the end, that will be a huge indication of the power of the product but I have a feeling I will be in need of more Skinade very soon.

It is very rare for me to put myself forward for anything when it comes to beauty/skincare, you lovely loyal followers know how particular I am and rarely do I accept or request anything, I generally buy products because they are exactly what I want and need. 

So you can appreciate that anything I say yes to or request to trial must be high on my list of interest, and I feel will benefit me and my skin.

I applied for the Skinade campaign, I was not invited, I wrote explaining why this was a product that I felt would further my interest and knowledge of skincare and discover how my own face would respond to a product that worked internally not externally. 

I was accepted for the campaign and sent a 30 day* supply of the Skinade drink.

Product Advice From The Packaging

* Seek professional advice before using if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or suffer from food allergies. Also check if you take any medication or have any medical conditions. 

*You may experience a mild laxative de-tox effect when you start using the product. 

*B Vitamin sensitivity - a small percentage of people can be reactive initially to NIACIN (VIT B), this may result in a short term red flush to the skin which can last up to an hour. There may be a tingling sensation also or separately. Niacin dilates small capillaries in the skin increasing blood flow and delivering nutrients to areas of weak circulation. Taking Skinade with food minimises the effect or you can sip the bottle throughout the day. 

*Store in a cool dry place, away from sunlight.

*Once a bottle is opened, consume within 24 hours.
