#ProductAlert #BendBeauty @BendBeauty Continues to Impress Us MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS – POWDER and RENEW + PROTECT – MINI SOFTGEL RECOMMENDED BY THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF WHOM YOU KNOW
It's never been who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and in our 14 plus years, we've reviewed over 2,100 beauty products, the vast majority of which are for external use. However, don't they say that beauty comes from within?!? We considered Bend Beauty earlier in 2023, and we were impressed with the results. We expanded our panel this time, and both men and women of all adult ages agree: this is a brand that yields results!
Our panelists collectively tell us: No one likes aging, especially when it comes to looks. How exciting to try Marine Collagen unflavored! I like my flavors to come from my dinner. I used it in my Immune plus drink super orange, which wound up being outstanding mixing them both in to a glass, since that’s the first thing I have when I get up. I washed down the 4 soft gels Renew Protect next as stated on the bottle. I could see using this product every morning. I can hardly wait to see the results. And I would recommend this product!
MARINE COLLAGEN + CO-FACTORS – POWDER
Taking 2.5 tsp of Marine Collagen + Co-Factors daily:Helps in collagen formation
Helps to maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails
Source of an antioxidant that helps protect against free radicals
Helps in wound healing
Helps to support immune function
Meet your favourite Marine Collagen powder. Marine Collagen + Co-Factors is specially formulated to promote collagen production in the body while supporting the health of your hair and nails – beauty you can see, and feel.
Collagen is a structural protein produced by our body. It’s found in high amounts in our skin – it gives the skin firmness and elasticity, therefore the amount found in the skin has a direct impact on firmness and development of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen production starts declining in your 20s, decreasing by about 1% per year throughout your adult life – environmental and lifestyle factors can accelerate this decline. Provide your body with the tools it needs to build collagen with a daily dose of Marine Collagen + Co-Factors.
What Makes Our Collagen Magical: The Co-Factors included in our Marine Collagen set this product apart. Silicon, sourced from whole-food bamboo, is responsible for strengthening hair and nails, and it’s thought to contribute to optimal collagen formation, improving skin strength and elasticity. Vitamin C, sourced from organic acerola cherries, is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against free radical damage, while also functioning as an essential co-factor necessary for collagen formation and wound healing. Together, silicon and vitamin C are essential for collagen cross-linking; the process through which collagen becomes strong and resilient.
Sustainable: Choosing Bend Beauty’s Marine Collagen is a more environmentally conscious choice over bovine collagen. We source our hydrolyzed marine collagen from sustainably caught wild fish, primarily derived from Icelandic fisheries cod skins, with smaller amounts of haddock and pollock skins. These fish skins are a by-product from the food industry – the fish are not solely caught for collagen production. Bend Beauty’s Marine Collagen + Co-Factors is also proudly carbon-neutral.
Versatile: 3 delicious and versatile options to choose from – Strawberry, Coconut, and Unflavoured. These powders can be mixed into water, smoothies, coffee, or beverage of your choice, making it easy to get your daily dose.
RENEW + PROTECT – MINI SOFTGEL
Taking a daily dose of Renew + Protect: Helps in reducing skin sensitivity to UV-induced sunburn**
Helps improve skin hydration
Helps improve skin elasticity and firmness
Helps improve roughness and redness (from skin inflammation)
Provides antioxidants for skin health
Is a source of antioxidants for the maintenance of eye health
**In a clinical trial, participants who took Renew + Protect daily experienced an 84% average increase in minimal erythema dose (MED), representing the amount of UV radiation required to create a sunburn, compared to baseline after 8 weeks of supplementation.
Renew + Protect is a blend of high-quality fish and borage oils, providing omega-3s, EPA, DHA, and omega-6, GLA, as well as antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, and vitamin D. These ingredients work synergistically to renew your overall skin health while aiding in the protection of your skin from harmful external factors like UV damage. So much more complex than a fish oil supplement, Renew + Protect is backed by a groundbreaking clinical trial that demonstrates its ability to increase skin resistance to UV-induced sunburn. The incredible array of Health Canada-authorized claims makes it the foundation of an ideal full-body skincare routine. Self-love starts with a daily dose of Renew + Protect.
What Makes Renew & Protect So Effective?
Omega-3s and Omega-6: Maintaining a balance in omega-3s and -6s is key to overall health and wellness. While omega-6s are often given a bad rap, they are necessary, and some, including GLA, have beneficial properties including supporting skin hydration. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are sourced from wild anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and herring. They are from sustainably managed fisheries and meet high standards of quality and purity. EPA and DHA have been shown to increase the skin’s sunburn threshold, improve the skin barrier function and improve roughness and redness.
Carotenoids (Lutein + Zeaxanthin): Carotenoids play an important role as antioxidants protecting the skin against free radicals formed by external (environmental) and internal (physiological, bodily function) stressors. They cannot be made by the body and must be supplied by external means such as diet or supplementation. Lutein and zeaxanthin benefit the skin by increasing the skin’s defense against free radicals generated by UV exposure and supporting skin hydration, elasticity, and firmness.
Vitamin D3: Most of us don’t obtain enough vitamin D in our daily routines – Renew + Protect has you covered. This necessary vitamin helps in the development of bones and the maintenance of bone structure, which becomes increasingly important as we age.
This is the Bend Beauty product we recommend as the starting point because of the diverse array of impactful benefits this formula offers. Renew + Protect is an effective and unique blend of ingredients designed to help you create a beautiful life – which starts with taking care of yourself.
