Nutrova collagen + Anti-Oxidants Nutritional Supplement Review

Swathy · May 29, 2015 · 23 Comments

Hey Everyone! Hope the summer is treating you well. Hope you are not really skipping your sunscreen? And, yes, tomatoes because the lycopene in them helps your skin fight the sun damage and increases your tolerance towards the harmful rays as well.

These days I am getting my lycopene not from the tomatoes but the Nutrova Collagen + Anti-Oxidants nutritional supplement which I talked about a while back. I got this product in the first week of April and I was supposed to consume the 30 sachets in 30 consecutive days. But, somehow or the other, I still have 5-6 sachets left to consume but still I think I can review the product without any qualms. So, let me start!

Price : Rs 2750 (lets see if the product is worth it?).

Availability : Nutrova Website.

Type of Product : Nutritional Supplement in powdered form.

Color, Flavor and Texture : Cream colored granules in cranberry flavor which are not exactly completely soluble in water.

Usage : Mix contents of one sachet with water everyday and consume it.

Packaging : Since the product is available in sachets of 12gms each, it is easy to carry. The only thing which the brand can provide is a little slit so that the sachet can be opened easily without needing a scissor.

Lets Talk Anti-Aging with Nutrova!

We believe that the right nutrition, properly delivered, can dramatically improve our lives. Ensuring that we receive the right nutrition is an ongoing process, and not something that lasts only for a few days or weeks.

This is what Nutrova says. They have come up with a product for anti-aging skin care. No, it is not a cream, definitely. It is a nutritional supplement.

So, this product from Nutrova has collagen peptides and anti-oxidants for the old skin. Now, we already know that our collagen synthesis reduces after the 30-mark. In fact, a lot of us (our bodies) becomes useless after this mark and you realize You are growing old. And, this product delivers the necessary collagen along with vitamin C and other anti-oxidants to the cells of the skin to make your skin look healthy and young.

I think I have left you confused with too little and too much information. So let me start from the beginning.

What is Nutrova?

At Nutrova, we want to develop products that allow people to optimize their health through nutrition by developing quality products with a strong scientific basis.

We started product development work in late 2011. Our goal was to develop innovative nutrition products that allow individuals to take charge of their health. While we all realize that what we eat has an impact on our health and quality of life, the level of that impact is often underestimated. Nutrition plays a role in our health and development from the time we’re born all the way through our lives. A few examples to put it into context:

1. Studies have shown that pregnant women who consume high amounts of the omega 3 fat DHA tend to have infants with better visual and cognitive abilities (DHA is the major fat in the brain and retina).
2. Malnourishment during childhood, which is a major problem in India, impacts the height to which an individual will grow and a lack of nutrients often causes stunting. Over consumption of processed foods high in sugar and/or fat can also cause micronutrient deficiencies that impact growth and development.
3. Consuming large amounts of refined sugars is linked to everything from diabetes to heart disease.

L’Oreal Paris Skin Perfect Cream for 30+ Update {Product Review}

Swathy · March 24, 2015 · 2 Comments

Hah! It has been over two months since I have been using the product. And, it is time to give an update. Though, I have covered most of the things in the extended review I did on the product almost a month back, there are just a few things I would like to cover.

Usage

In the last post, if you recall or have read it again, I have mentioned that I could not really figure out how to use the product. So, finally, I figured it out after lots of trials and errors.

Spot apply mustard-seed size product all over your face – forehead, nose, cheeks, chin. And, spread it evenly on the face. That’s it! Most likely you would NOT need more of the product. So, the jar is going to last very very long for you!!

Perfect for Summer

Now that summers have already started raging in Hyderabad, I can feel that this product is perfect to control the sweat and oil. But, then, remember do not go overboard with the product otherwise it will leave white streaks on your skin. And, it keeps the skin looking bright for at least two hours and you can reapply it after that 🙂

Works for a foundation

Unless you want heavy coverage, this product works perfectly as your makeup base. It has a slight tint which makes your face glow, makes the lip color or lip tints pop up and gives a perfect natural makeup look with a soft dewy face. And, it is easy to reapply 🙂

Does not work for eye

The product does mention that eye contour should be avoided and do heed it. Otherwise, the product cakes up in the eye area.

It is a Day Cream!

For everyone who is confused about this part, the product is ONLY a day cream and meant to be used in the morning time and HAS to be removed with a makeup remover, since it has a tint, at the end of day. And, follow with an anti-aging serum or facial oil.

What do you say?

That’s about it and I think it perfectly rounds up my thoughts regarding the product. So, what do you say now? It is your turn so do share.
– Would you like to use the product?
– Have you already used it? If yes, how did you like it?
– What do you think of the anti-aging skin care ranges in the market? Did anyone work for you?
