Just like the skin, the hair also goes through certain changes as we age. These changes often develop gradually, and can be quite shocking when finally noticed.

One of these frightening changes is thinning hair. This can eventually lead to hair loss, although in most cases, hair loss is usually minor.  However, for women, losing their locks is actually more stressful and traumatic than merely seeing their hair turn gray.

Hair loss is usually attributed to low thyroid function, which is a common occurrence for women experiencing menopause. However, there are other factors that can contribute to hair loss, such as the fluctuations in hormone levels of women, and the emotional and physical stress brought about by getting older. In addition, the growth rate of the hair slows down as we age, meaning that when hairs are shed, they are more slowly replaced.

As if that dilemma is not enough, our hair also goes through changes in texture and overall condition. What once was soft, shiny, and bouncy eventually becomes dry, coarse, and brittle than before.

This is partly because the body’s production of sebum, a naturally-created lubricant of the skin and hair, slows down. Sebum production is estimated to decrease by 10% for every decade we live. As a result, the hair loses its elasticity.

This is where the Keratin Hair Volumizer comes in. Manufactured by NeoCell, this health supplement is a nutraceutical solution to dry, brittle, and thinning hair. It contains clinically-proven, all-natural ingredients to enhance hair strength and reduce hair loss.

The key ingredients are the following:

Supplement facts.

Cynatine HNS Solubilized Keratin. A form of keratin that is easily absorbed by the body, and clinically-proven to increase hair luster and improve hair strength.

Hydrolyzed Super Collagen. A structural component of hair, skin and nail health. Super Collagen™ is a rich source of glycine, proline, alanine and hydroxyproline, which are the main constituents of collagen in the hair.

Amla Extract. Known for its anti-aging properties, Amla provides high concentrations of Vitamin C and and has been revered for being a powerful antioxidant.

Vitamin C. Acts as an antioxidant,  Vitamin C is also an important part of optimal collagen formation.

The Keratin Hair Volumizer comes in capsule form, which are to be taken twice daily. Each bottle contains 60 capsules, enough for one-month consumption.

Tamper-sealed bottle.

Capsules.

I've been taking these capsules for two weeks now, together with the Beauty Bursts Collagen Chews that I've mentioned in my previous post. I wear my hair pretty short (as in a pixie cut), so I can't really assess if this product did 'volumize' my hair. However, I did notice a decrease in hair fall-out and an improvement in the texture and appearance of my hair.

If you're thinking of trying this product, you can purchase them at retail stores like GNC, Whole Foods, and Better Health. I believe they're being sold at $18 per bottle. Now if you're in the Philippines, you can purchase this at Power and Beauty, the official distributor of NeoCell products in the country.

Or you can just try your luck and join my ongoing giveaway. One of you, my friends and followers, will have the chance to try this Keratin Hair Volumizer and the Beauty Bursts Soft Collagen Chews for free! Big thanks to our friends at NeoCell! :)

Women usually experience the first signs of aging once she hits her 30's. During this period, our body starts to lose its collagen, and the elastic fibers in our skin begin to crumble. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles start to appear, and sallow, sagging skin become apparent.

This is the reason why I'm taking better care of my skin now, more than ever. Sure, aging is inevitable, but I certainly do not want to look old and wrinkly. Not when I'm only 32!

I have a skincare regimen that goes beyond the usual cleanser, toner, moisturizer. This includes an eye cream, a serum, a sleeping pack (which I use at least twice a week), a pore clay mask (which I use during weekends), and special mask sheets which I use as needed. And just recently, I've even added collagen supplements to my skincare routine.

Beauty Bursts from Neocell.

While most collagen supplements are either pills or lotions, Beauty Bursts come in a chewable, candy form. (Think Starbursts or Frutella.) They come in two different flavors, too - Fresh Mint Chocolate and Super Fruit Punch.

Check the label! :)

Manufactured by NeoCell - now the number 1 collagen brand in the world, these gourmet soft chews contain Collagen Type 1 and 3 (for firm, smooth skin, and strong hair and nails), Hyaluronic Acid (for skin hydration and renewal), and Vitamin C (which acts as collagen enhancer). These chews are made with an all-natural formula, and do not contain gluten, soy, palm oil, or artificial flavors.

Nutritional information.

One pack of Beauty Bursts contains 60 soft chews. That's good for one-month consumption, since the suggested intake is 2 chews per day. However, these chews taste so good, you'd be tempted to exceed the recommended dose. Lol.

2 chews = 2000 mg collagen.

Yum!

I've been taking these chews for a little over two weeks now. In that short period of time, I noticed the fine lines under my eyes slowly diminishing, while my cheeks look plumper than the usual. And to think the stress of the past two weeks (i.e. my son and I both got sick, plus tons of school activities now that the academic year is about to end) should have ultimately taken toll on my skin! Also, in the span of two weeks, I've clipped my nails about three times. Meaning, my nails grew surprisingly fast - because on the average, I clip my nails every other week.

Now if you're thinking of adding collagen to your own skincare regimen, these Beauty Bursts are a good (and yummy) way to start. They sell for about $17 a pack, and can bought at retail stores such as GNC, Whole Foods, and Better Health.

Here in the Philippines, NeoCell products are distributed by Power and Beauty. You can purchase the Beauty Bursts through their online store, or you can visit their shop located at Trinoma Ayala Mall, Level 1. Each bag is sold at Php 1200.

One of my readers, however, will have the chance to try the Beauty Bursts for free. Yes, free!
