Last April, Victoria Beckham celebrated her 50th birthday. A birthday that does not rejuvenate those who, during their childhood and adolescence, were unconditional fans of the Spice Girls. World-renowned singer turned outstanding clothing designer, Victoria Beckham is also a mother of four and a devoted wife. The pretty brunette therefore manages to reconcile a busy private life and professional meetings all over the world, without visibly aging. His secret? A beauty routine made up of cutting-edge treatments like those from the Dermalogica or Agustinus Bader brands, but also the daily intake of a miraculous food supplement that everyone should try without further delay: collagen.
The stars' favorite food supplement to stay young
What do Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett have in common? In addition to being beautiful and talented, they all follow, to the letter, the valuable advice of expert facialist, Melanie Grant. His infallible advice for a “ten years younger” effect: consume collagen. A food supplement which, according to her, allows you to continue to benefit from the benefits of the plumping, firming and sculpting massages that she performs in her office. “From the end of the twenties, the collagen naturally present in the body begins to disappear and the cell regeneration process slows down. This is what causes wrinkles and signs of old age. Few people believe in it, but the taking food supplements brings immense benefits” explains the expert in the columns of the magazine Vogue US.
Melanie Grant also assures that collagen must have its place in any routine. “By following a holistic approach to skin care, there can only be beautiful results. We cannot deny that the exterior and the interior are connected and therefore, that the beauty of our skin, depends the health of our intestines, our hormonal balance and our nutritional deficiencies”. The first step in this gentle approach is therefore to focus on a healthy and varied diet with fruits and vegetables, but also nuts, seeds, fish, proteins, while avoiding processed foods.
The little-known power of drinking collagen
According to the expert, the second step lies in incorporating collagen food supplements into your routine. “I recommend collagen food supplements to my clients, to help them preserve the beauty and structure of the skin. But also to retain hydration, preserve the strength and beauty of hair and nails”. And Melanie Grant continues: “Collagen represents 75% of our skin and more than 90% of our ligaments and tendons, but also 35% of our bones! So it is vital for the structural integrity of the entire body.”. The best way to “reinject” collagen into our body, naturally, is to drink it. Once in the body, it then targets the parts to be “filled” namely the skin, hair, nails or joints. This quickly impacts the body's overall hydration, skin elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles. Melanie Grant claims to have noticed a difference in her own skin after consuming drinking collagen for a period of 90 days. Hello radiance, firmness and plump effect, without resorting to Botox!
If in the United States, drinking collagen is already well established in routines, it is becoming more popular in France thanks to the new popularity of brands like Vital Proteins (of which Jennifer Aniston is an ambassador). The brand indeed offers a range of collagen to drink with a choice of: bovine collagen, marine collagen and “beauty” collagen (with an additional addition of hyaluronic acid in the formula). Three products all having the same effect: plumping up the skin or preserving its youth, boosting the growth of hair and nails or relieving joints. Special mention for the formula without real taste, in powder, which can be easily added to water, to coffee, to a smoothie, to a matcha latte or even to a dish, to stay beautiful with ease.
