Grab a little quiet time

GRAB A LITTLE QUIET TIME All in the name of anti-ageing

In your 30’s, 40’s or 50’s and starting to notice the effects of ageing? Skin looking a little dry, and a little more dull and drab, and you can’t get that dewy plumpness back? Your hair doesn’t grow as much, or it’s starting to get thinner, or you’ve noticed your first grey hairs? Your nails are weaker and even splitting more? Your joints ache and you don’t recover as well after a big night or a busy week, and your skin doesn’t heal as quickly, yet you just don’t seem to have that glowy, dewy, supple skin anymore no matter what products you slather on your face!

We are all getting older, and the effects of ageing start to creep up on us pretty quickly!!

No matter if you’re in your 30’s, or your late 40’s, you’ll no doubt start to see changes happening… and this is due to the ageing process and the depletion of natural collagen production in your body, which starts to deplete by 1% to 2% per year from your mid20s. So by the time you’re in your mid 30’s, you have potentially lost nearly 10-15% natural collagen production, so imagine in your 40’s and into your 50’s, where this number climbs to around 35-40% - no wonder these things start to deplete, and you’re not as happy looking in the mirror...

Yes, this is the ageing process, but it’s also about the natural collagen depletion your body is going through!

Collagen is like the ‘glue’ that holds everything together in our bodies, it’s important in creating stronger joint and tendon health, assisting improved gut health and digestion, promoting smoother, enhanced skin that has that supple elasticity and looks more hydrated with improved texture, and of course thicker hair, faster growing, stronger nails, and better overall beauty from within.

But how do you take collagen?

Well, it’s all about ingestion – you need to consume collagen to get the benefits of the peptides. The trick with collagen is that you need to consume it regularly, consistently, as it needs to build up in your system, especially considering your skin has a 28 day cycle…. so you may not start to see results immediately. Initially, you’ll start to see improved nail strength and faster growing nails, even your toenails start to grow – this is the sign that you’re drinking it consistently! Then you’ll start to feel thicker newer hair growth, and then lastly your skin will start to improve, with less bumps, a more hydrated, elastic smoothness and the diminished appearance of fine lines and a much better, smoother texture that you’ll be impressed with. But it’s all about consistency. The results are all dependent upon your age, how much UV exposure you’ve had, your sugar intake, smoking and the environmental pollutants you’ve been exposed to, and of course your consistency in taking collagen, as every body is different, but with regularly and consistently drinking our collagen beauty teas, you’ll start to see results and that fear of ageing should diminish!

There is much science behind hydrolyzed collagen peptides showing results can start in as little as 8 to 10 weeks, however, as every person is different, some may see results after 4 weeks, and many may not see results until much later.

If you want to support your body, and feel and look better, along with regular exercise, drinking lots of water and having great nights’ sleep, collagen may be the perfect addition to your daily routine. 35% of people take supplements, and collagen is now the number two supplement in the USA in 2020 - that’s quite telling that women are discovering this supplement as we all want to look and feel our best!

Most women are “super-beings”, making very little time for themselves… being super-mums doing everything from running businesses, working from home as well as home-schooling, fitting in friends and family, running households and chores, organising the family, as well as doing admin, cooking, cleaning and sending that board report in on time.

So why not make a little time each day for a little quiet luxury, with a delicious hot cup of collagen beauty tea that will not only give you five minutes of peace, but will assist your skin, help get your glow back, and support your overall wellbeing all at the same time!!! With our crazy lives getting faster and faster, with more and more to do, it’s no wonder that women the world over are discovering the power of collagen, and when mixed with the ancient remedial benefits of drinking tea – well, you seriously need to take just a little five minutes of some quiet time to pamper your skin and have a break - after all, you deserve it!
