Today I want to talk skincare but in a bit of a different way. My skin has been ravished by the changing weather lately. I am just back from a wonderful trip to Devon and the Lakes District. But going from the extreme cold of the Scottish Highland to the milder climates of Devon has don't me no favours. My skin is not looking its best and it could use some help.
I was contacted by the lovely people over at Revive collagen to try one of their products Revive Collagen - Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Drink. I have heard of this product before as I have seen an article about Amanda Holden being their brand ambassador and this got me intrigued. I mean who wouldn't want the glowy skin of Amanda Holden? Eh yes please sign me up.
About the Product
We all know as we age we lose some of the natural collagen levels in our body. This is one of the main causes of skin ageing. It causes the skin to lose its elasticity and causes wrinkles. The lack of collagen makes the skin more prone to damage and sagging to the skin. This is why older people's face looks more hollow and less youthful.
"From our early twenties, collagen decline starts at a rate of 1.5% a year and by the age of 60, most women have lost 80% of their collagen levels."
Revive Collagen Hydrolysed Marine Collagen Drink comes in convenient little 22g sachets all ready to drink. They are available in boxes of 14 sachets. A one-off purchase of 14 sachets is £33.99 but they do offer a subscription service where you can get the product for a discounted rate.

What was my experience?
Where to start I am going to be completely honest with you. At first, I was not the biggest fan of the taste. But that is a personal thing and I have still been taking my Revive Collagen every day. I will either mix it into a fruit tea or take it on its own with a drink after. But over the few weeks, I have actually got used to the taste and I don't mind it now.
The results.
I have found my skin is showing signs of improvement and my hair is growing faster. Now I can only put this down to Revive Collagen as I have not changed any other part of my routine. My skin looks more plumper and I can see improvements to my fine lines.
I have noticed a big improvement in how fast my bruises are healing. I should explain that I am a mountain biker and I get a few bruises from falls and bumps on the bike. I have noticed my bruises are actually healing really fast lately and I can only put this down to these also. Also, my legs are not as dry as they were before I started Revive Collagen.
Don't worry there are vegan collagen options available too so go check them out.
The big question is would I rebuy this, Yes I would I have seen results and for the improvement in my skin, it is worth the money in my opinion.
