There is more than one way to get your daily dose of collagen, and the team at BeautyEQ have created a cocktail or mocktail with ingredients that are both delicious and good for your skin. By editor Trudi Brewer.

If you are in the routine of talking collagen to boost the growth of your hair and nails and firm the skin, then you’re ahead of the rest. If not, here’s why you need to be. Every cell in your body contains protein, so it’s no surprise we need protein to repair and make new cells. I call it the glue that holds everything, including our joints and skin, together, keeping it functioning well and looking youthful. Sadly as we age, our natural collagen production in our body slows, add the effects of free radical damage from excess sun exposure, smoking, stress, and lack of sleep, and your skin will start to show signs of ageing fast. This latest Dr. LeWInns Marine Collagen Peptide+ Inner Beauty Liquid Shot not only tastes good, but the orange and mango flavour is the perfect addition to spice up your Friday cocktails or Monday mocktails. See how we mix it below.
Dr. LeWinn's Marine Collagen Peptide+ Inner Beauty Liquid Shot, 10 x 50ml, $60.
This is a concentrated shot of sustainably sourced, hydrolysed marine collagen that contains potent antioxidants such as vitamin C, blueberry juice and spinach powder. Taken daily, these ingredients help hydrate the skin from the inside out, firmness and smoothness while strengthening the hair and nails.
This Liquid Shot is dairy, and gluten-free and has no artificial colours or flavours.
