GOT WRINKLES? YOU MAY WANT TO READ THIS

I remember my grandmother often saying, “Beauty is only skin deep.” That essentially means that you can’t judge a book by its cover. What you see on the outside may not reflect what’s on the inside, for better or for worse. She was talking about what’s in someone’s heart and their feelings and actions. And I’ve always remembered that, especially when I, myself, have said or done things I’m not particularly proud of.
But lately I’ve been more aware that the expression has another meaning. As I age, it’s becoming more important for me to feed my body properly so that the inside is healthy. That’s important for two main reasons. First, I want to live longer and stay healthy for my two young boys. And second, I believe that what we put into our bodies has an effect on what others see and what we see when we look in the mirror. What we feed our body affects our physical appearance. My last blog post featured a Mixed Berry Smoothie Bowl recipe that is loaded with antioxidants, has no refined sugar, and is free of dairy and a lot of animal protein. While I’m not super strict about this, I do strive to go in this direction on a daily basis.
In addition to choosing and eliminating certain ingredients and foods, I’m also becoming more aware of what my body may need as a supplement as I grow older. A few months ago, I began to notice more fine lines and a face that was sagging a bit more than it used to. WHY is this happening? There are many reasons, but one has to do with collagen depletion. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, and it is found in our bones, muscles, tendons, and…our skin. It holds our body together by providing strength and structure. In addition to age, collagen production declines with exposure to smoking and UV light, which is why smokers and sun worshipers tend to have more wrinkles.
As luck would have it, a former client of mine from the nutritional supplements industry reached out earlier this year with exciting news about a new collagen peptide product that he was bringing to market. When I met Lorenzo many years ago (before either one of us had so many fine lines and wrinkles), he was the Head of R&D for a major sports nutrition company and went on to serve in this role at other companies whose brands are household names. He’s a brilliant man, and he has a kind heart and warm personality to boot!
Lorenzo and his wife, Sallie, together bring over 60 years of education, research, and experience in the food and pharma industries. So when they came knocking, I had to answer. They introduced me to Lova Naturals Beauty Repair, which is specific collagen peptides at a dose that has been optimized for efficacy. It’s 100% natural and clinically proven to enhance your natural beauty in a few important ways:
Diminishes Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Reduces Cellulite
Promotes Healthy Hair & Nails
I will admit that I was skeptical at first. But I’m showing you my results because you have to see it to believe it. I started taking Lova Naturals Beauty Repair in February 2019. In each of the photos below, I smiled so you could see my crow’s feet. I didn’t see a huge difference until a few weeks ago, but I am tickled pink that I stuck with it. It was definitely worth the wait. In addition to a significant reduction in the wrinkles around my eyes, my nails are extremely strong and won’t stop growing. I don’t like having long fingernails, so I cut them, but if long, strong, and hard nails are your goal, this product will help you! Finally, while I don’t have before and after photos, I have noticed that my legs seem less dimply, and I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t love a reduction in cellulite.
Below are close-ups taken in July. I squinted a bit extra in the middle photo, but the lines are still so much less visible than in February!
The images below are not of my fingernail. It’s the fingernail of a woman whose artificial nail broke off and took part of her own nail with it. The photo on the right shows the growth of her nail after 4 weeks while taking Lova Naturals Beauty Repair.
The product couldn’t be easier to consume. It’s tasteless and it comes in convenient stick packs. I throw several stick packs into all of my bags so I always have it with me. My typical morning routine is to mix it into my matcha latte from Starbucks, but you could even pour it into a bottle of water. Like most powders, it does dissolve better in hot or warm beverages. If cold/iced, it just requires a little more mixing. It is sold as a 30-day supply—one stick pack a day is all you need. It’s sugar free and only 10 calories. Believe me when I tell you that this is much more convenient that carrying around a big tub, which is how many collagen peptides are sold. Another brand also sells a stick pack, but it’s a much larger stick pack because the dose contains MUCH more product, and I can’t imagine dumping all of that into my drink.
If you’d like to try Lova Naturals Beauty Repair, today is the day! On Monday, July 8, 2019, you can receive a 50% discount off of your first purchase by using code JSL50LOVA, making it less than $1 per day for this supplement that has made a huge difference in my world. You can purchase easily by clicking here. Shipping within the United States is free!
As with anything, individual results will vary. Some people saw results a lot sooner than I did, and you can see more before and after photos on the Lova Naturals site. Consumption of specific and effective doses of collagen peptides will support a body’s own natural replenishment of collagen. Several clinical trials investigated the specific collagen peptides and dose contained in Lova Naturals. Consuming this product daily has shown in clinical trials to reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, promote healthy fingernails and decrease cellulite.
**A few added notes based on questions from readers. The source of protein is bovine (cow), so it is not suitable for vegetarians. It is BSE-free, which is where some have concerns regarding collagen peptides.
I’m really excited to see more results as this product gains popularity. If you miss today’s 50% off special, you can still receive a 25% discount through the end of July 2019 by using code JSL25LOVA at checkout when you purchase. Please feel free to message me with any questions. Besides the benefits that I’ve outlined here, there are so many more reasons to take a collagen supplement. If you google collagen, you’ll learn it does so much more for us than enhance our external beauty.
