A single daily scoop of our Aloe + Collagen Super Beauty Drink Mix is all you need to begin expecting Believably REAL results from the inside out. This delicious berry-flavored drink mix recipe is made from three skin-affirming ingredients. First, Aloe vera (our hero), to help promote hydration for skin that looks smoother and visibly plumper with fewer lines and wrinkles. Plus, marine collagen to help support improved elasticity and bounce. Then finally, an antioxidant blend to neutralize free radicals, helping prevent and reverse cell damage caused by environmental aggressors.
Now, let’s break down the ingredients in this anti-aging trifecta:
ALOE VERA: OUR FIRST INGREDIENT
We are always excited to discuss the Believably REAL Results our customers see with our Aloe-first skin care. We use Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller as our first ingredient because it is the best of the best. According to desertsucculent.com, “It is generally agreed by health experts worldwide that the Aloe Vera Barbadensis Miller variety is the best for both internal and topical use.” While other skin care companies use water as a first ingredient, we use Aloe First. Even on its own Aloe helps deliver exciting anti-aging benefits that are shown to rebuild, regenerate and restore the look of youthful skin from the inside out.
What are the health benefits of drinking aloe vera?
First and foremost, Aloe vera is beautifully hydrating. This topic has been written about so often, that its importance is easy to miss. So, let’s take a detailed look at the facts:
What happens to the skin when it’s well-hydrated?
Our skin consists of multiple layers of tiny cells. When these cells are fully hydrated, they are plump, round, and firm and surrounded by a healthy membrane. Hydration also helps prevent excessive water loss, which keeps the skin moisturized, and sebum (oil) production regulated. Well-hydrated cells are also flexible and supple, which means they can easily regain their shape when stretched or pulled. Optimum hydration helps these cells perform the jobs of transporting nutrients and removing waste more efficiently, while it also helps cells grow, divide, and communicate with neighboring cells.
In short, hydrated cells are happy, healthy, and more productive.
So, what does cellular hydration mean for the appearance of your skin?
Properly hydrated skin tends to appear plump, soft, and supple because it retains moisture. It also better reflects light giving it a healthy and radiant glow. Hydrated skin appears smoother, which can make lines and wrinkles less noticeable. It appears neither oily nor greasy; it’s just right because your skin’s natural moisture barrier is intact to help maintain hydration without excessive oiliness. It can also appear less red, blotchy, and uneven. Optimal hydration helps promote firmer, more resilient skin with improved elasticity, meaning it can bounce back easily when touched. Plus, skin that is hydrated feels comfortable and supple, without any sensations of tightness, itching, or discomfort due to dryness.
What happens to the skin when it’s dehydrated?
Dehydrated skin can accentuate fine lines and wrinkles. It can also appear dry, rough, flaky, dull, and lackluster, which makes it look older than it should. Lack of moisture also allows external aggressors like pollution better access through the skin, spurring the antioxidants in your skin to work overtime. Dehydration can sometimes trigger the overproduction of oil (to compensate for the lack of water) which can lead to blemishes and acne.
What’s the best time to drink Aloe?
Really, anytime is a great time. We think Aloe + Collagen Super Beauty Drink Mix makes an excellent morning beverage. Why not start your day with a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, and a refreshing boost of hydration? When your stomach is empty it can more effectively absorb important nutrients. Aloe is rich in calcium, magnesium, folic acid, and vitamins C, A, and E which can strengthen skin, nails, and hair while stimulating growth. Plus, unleashing all these antioxidants first thing in the morning to fight those nasty free radicals is a great way to start your day.

MARINE COLLAGEN: OUR SECOND INGREDIENT
As stated above, our skin’s ability to naturally replenish collagen decreases as we age. Collagen is a protein that makes up a significant portion of our skin, hair, nails, bones, and joints.
Drinking collagen powders has been shown to support the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which can enhance skin elasticity, bounce, and firmness, plus help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Where does collagen come from?
Collagen powders are typically derived from two distinct animal sources. Marine collagen is derived from fish skin, scales, and bones. Bovine collagen is sourced from cows, typically from their skin, bones, and cartilage.
Which is better: marine collagen or bovine collagen?
Healthline.com gives us the inside scoop, “Marine collagen may improve cartilage and skin health. What’s more, some studies suggest that it has fewer inflammatory effects, and boasts a higher absorption rate than bovine collagen.” And that’s great news because marine collagen has been known to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help the skin retain moisture, and encourage hair and nail growth.
Is collagen a protein powder?
Yes, collagen powder is considered a type of protein powder.
Will collagen help my hair and nails grow?
While collagen does not directly affect hair growth, it has been shown to help strengthen hair follicles. Healthy hair follicles are less prone to breakage, which can promote the appearance of longer and thicker hair over time. Collagen also plays a crucial role in nail health by helping heal brittle or cracked cuticles and increasing nail density to help resist splitting and breaking. That’s excellent news, because no one likes to break a nail.

POLYPHENOL ANTIOXIDANT BLEND: OUR THIRD INGREDIENT
Aloe + Collagen Super Beauty Drink Mix also includes pomegranate fruit extract, green tea leaf extract, blueberry fruit extract, blackberry fruit extract, and more… Who knew a polyphenol antioxidant blend could make your mouth water?
WebMD.com tells us, “Polyphenols are micronutrients that naturally occur in plants. Studies show that polyphenols are powerful antioxidants.”
Antioxidants, like those found in the extracts listed above, have been shown to help prevent and reverse cell damage caused by free radicals. They are created by our aging bodies and amplified by lifestyle choices such as UV exposure, tobacco smoke, environmental pollutants, and dietary choices, among so many others.
Free radicals are atoms, the tiniest parts of you, that skulk around looking to steal electrons from perfectly healthy atoms in your body. They are simply cell destroyers, seeking to break down collagen and elastin, your skin’s support network, leading to wrinkles, sagging, loss of firmness, age spots, and redness.
So, if antioxidants neutralize free radicals, that means these extraordinary fruit extracts are bursting with free-radical fighting power. So long you little free-radical thieves! Good riddance.
