Woman whose long lashes became short & sparse reveals the drink that ‘brought them back’ – but there is a downside
A BEAUTY fan has revealed the health drink that improved the appearance of her eyelashes.
She said her lashes struggled to grow and were “sparse” before making the drink a staple in her daily diet.
The woman raved about the drink on Reddit’s 30 Plus Skincare forum as she joined in a discussion about bone broth.
MAGIC POTION
She confessed that the drink may not work for everyone but gave her impressive results.
“People can tell me all day, every day that drinking collagen/bone broth ‘doesn’t do anything,’” she said, writing under the handle Glitchinthemeowtrix.
“But, whenever I’m drinking it consistently, my nails are stronger, my hair is stronger, and my lashes get so long again.
“I always had the longest lashes growing up but as I got older they got shorter, sparser.
“Collagen brought them back though, and I’m loving it. It also helps me a lot with joint pain and recovery from exercise.”
She said having “a lot of sensitives and a food allergy” may have made her more responsive to bone broth and collagen compared to other people.
She gushed that collagen has countless health benefits.
“I’m sure some people see zero results from bone broth/collagen, but I just assume it’s because their body isn’t lacking whatever it is that people who see results are lacking if that makes sense,” she said.
“It’s mostly small cosmetic improvements for me and the added bonus of slightly helping to improve my joint pain.
“Plus, I like the protein kick in the morning from adding a packet of collagen powder to my coffee.”
The beauty enthusiast said the supplement has also improved the growth of her locks, but the downside is that it also triggers the growth of her facial hair.
She revealed the two collagen products that have given her the best results.
“The canisters of Great Lakes gelatin are always a great option (green container) and I also really like the bulletproof coffee collagen single-serve packets,” she said.
“I’ve had some bad-tasting collagen before – I can’t remember the brands, they’re usually mixed with other stuff.
“But the ones I listed should be virtually tasteless (at most you get the the slightest hint of an earthy flavor). I mix mine into coffee or tea!”
Many Redditors upvoted the post to show their appreciation for the beauty tip.
