The Collagen Glow: A Guide to Ingestible Skincare

by Sally Kim

All the lotions, potions, and skin-tightening masks in the world won’t accomplish what a daily dose of collagen may do. And now that collagen is easier than ever to find and use, in powdered and liquid supplements, readers need The Collagen Glow . Packed with 40 delicious recipes, this book is the ultimate guide to choosing and using collagen. It includes information on how collagen is harvested, what to look for in an ingredient list, and how to take it to the next level with an easy 10-step plan. Skincare entrepreneur Sally Kim grew up drinking her Korean grandmother’s bone broth― essentially collagen broth―so when she experienced a painful burn and turned to collagen to heal and regenerate her skin, it was an epiphany. She realized that collagen is actually the key to the world-renowned “ten-step” Korean beauty routine. Here, Kim offers a different ten-step plan that includes ingesting collagen for good skin, healthy joints, and strong hair and nails.

I was hoping for more information on collagen and what it does for the body but this book was mainly recipes.

Seems to be the trend these days for business owners to write a book for social proof. Quick read, informative but can't say I'm 100% convinced of what is written.
Pros: drinks + bowls recipes. Formatting, images and overall book layout is on point.
Cons: heavily subjective. Understandable, but, because it's based on a product that's yet to be proven.

I picked up this book (post-jumping the collagen bandwagon) to learn more about the benefits of collagen and that I did! After a good 30+day collagen trial I have seen BIG improvements in my skin, hair and nails. This book filled in the gaps of my curiosity, like WHEN is the best time to take it, HOW should I take it, WHAT should I look for in a quality product and what MORE can I do to support my skin health. Best yet, there's some really delicious recipes- ALL of which I could easily implement in my daily routine. You mean it's not just a mix with water and drink type product, if you're lucky there might be flavor added? No...in fact, I was inspired to try my own hot milk concoction. This book is a quick, easy read with great captions, comments and recommendations. Prepare to be inspired!
