Despite always looking so put together they admitted that their journey to self-love wasn't a smooth one. Bianca only realized this when she took a short break from her work. "I'm not really malaaga sa sarili dati. But because of the pandemic, I learned how to make myself feel that I am at peace and that I am okay. So that pushed me to take care of myself". Toni candidly narrated that she started from the inside by learning how to say no. "With things that don't resonate with me, I just say no. When I feel like my intuition says that something is not meant for me, then I say no and stay firm in what I believe in.", Toni shared. 

These ladies made it a point to prioritize themselves because self-care is non-negotiable! When it comes to their skin, at the top of their reco list is, of course, Physiogel. Toni makes sure to keep her skin strong from top to toe, using the Physiogel blue line on her face and the pink line on her body to help prevent flare-ups from atopic dermatitis. Bianca also revealed her weapon of choice, which is the Calming Relief Range. She even shared this discovery with her family who also has sensitive skin. "Doing what I do na nasa ilaw and I travel a lot, Physiogel made my skin calm. I'm happy I found Physiogel." 

Hoping to inspire, these ladies left words of encouragement for those who are still in the process of loving themselves. "Be kind to yourself on the inside. It's time to stop sabotaging yourself and start appreciating your strength.", Toni emphasized, alluding to her newfound strength through self-care. Bianca also shared a mantra that guides her, saying that "choosing yourself is not something you should feel guilty about."

Collagen for example has given me such great help when it comes to my knee joints and pain on my fingers. Now that I am going back to a healthier routine, collagen is a great way to not only provide plumper skin but it helps lubricate my joints for when I work out. It's not a fountain of youth but I do notice the effects in both my skin and joints. 

I love the taste and how it contains very little sugar to make it really enjoyable. It also contains non-dairy cream so the smoothie truly has that smooth texture I love from sweet smoothies. Now that I am watching my sugar, it is so nice that I get to drink healthier option and still enjoy it.

I decided on taking Glutathione supplements again to help my liver break down toxins. and the effects I love most out of this can be seen with clarity and a more radiant complexion.

So what's in the BELO COLLAGEN SMOOTHIE?

• Infused with HIGH-ABSORPTION PREMIUM COLLAGEN  (5000 MG / SACHET)  from Japan that replenishes lost collagen as you age.

• With an advanced anti-aging formula that decreases fine lines and wrinkles and restores skin elasticity and suppleness

• Makes hair thicker and nails stronger

I've taken this supplement for quite a few years and only stopped when I got pregnant and have not been able to return since I have continuously breastfed. If you didn't know, Glutathione is good for the liver, too! And given how packed Belo Glutathione + Collagen is packed with tons of antioxidant, you are sure to reap a lot of skin-caring ingredients.

I first learned about glutathione when my Tita brought it from the staes to give to my uncle whow as suffering from liver cabn
