Review: Youthful Beautiful Skin with Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink

Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink (50ml/bottle)

Want to stay youthful with beautiful skin regardless of your age? Try Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink.

In only just a few bottles of consumption, it not only improves and does benefits to my skin as well as my skin cells, it also educate me the facts of beauty supplement. This is the beauty drink that I really highly recommend. 

Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink Summary
Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink is the 1st all-in-one orchid stem cell beauty drink in Singapore. 

As we age, our skin cell renewal process slows down which results in the various skin problems we faces. Not only that, exposure to UV account to 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging which contributes to the damage of our skin cell too. 

Often, what we do to fight these signs of aging is always to take in as many collagen as possible. But each person on average can only take up to 2000mg to 5000mg of collagen each day. Access intake becomes waste not absorbed by our body. 

I too thought drinking collagen is enough until I drink Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink. I realize I am missing something important.

In order for our skin to be able to fully absorb any beauty supplement or skin care, the fundamental of good skin is to have healthy skin cell. 

Difference between Collagen drink and Stem Cell Beauty Drink:

• Collagen drink: Goes straight to replenish collagen, provide nutrients and beautify skin. It does not take care if your skin cell is healthy enough to take the benefits. 
• Stem Cell Beauty Drink: Repairs and rejuvenate damaged skin cells first for better collagen and nutrients retention and beautify skin afterwards. Making sure that skin cell is healthy enough to benefits fully.

Information on Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink.

My Review
I always wonder why my skin don't show anything at all when using some skincare or supplement. 

Now that I know the reason, my skin cell is not healthy enough to absorb the goods. 

So I am really overjoy to try Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink.

The beauty drink came in a box of 10 bottles. 50ml each bottle.

I love to consume my beauty drink cold. So I always place them in the refrigerator. :)

One thing that I love Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink most is that it does not contain any fishy smell at all. The texture is not too thick or strong. Just nice. 

The biggest surprise it gave me is that the drink taste like sparkling juice. It is gassy sweet. No fishy taste at all. Taste really yummy. 

Look at the gas in the drink!!! 

Gassy sparkling drink.

Don't you think it looks like some kind of champagne or wine when I place them in wine glass. ;)

Looks like champagne.

I am only on my 7th day of consumption and I already see results. My face is less oily and looks hydrated throughout the day. 

I also realize that I am blemish free throughout this 1 week and one of the blemish that I felt, about to appear, just vanished on the 2nd day of my consumption. Really happy!

I am then confirmed that it really shows improvement on the 6th day of my consumption as my facial beautician asked what I have done to my skin as it appears better than before. Less extraction that day for me during my facial too. Makes my day even better to hear this. :D

I can't wait to see what it does to my skin further in months to come with further consumption. 

Highly recommended.

In only just a few bottles of consumption, it not only improves and does benefits to my skin as well as my skin cells, it also educate me the facts of beauty supplement. This is the beauty drink that I really highly recommend.

My Review
Today review is on Himalaya Herbals Lip Balm.

The lip balm came in a small tube. 

Himalaya Herbals Lip Balm.

The opening is a little different from the usual lip balm I used before. It has a slanting surface with a small hole to press the lip balm out for application. 

It has a slanting surface with a small hole.

I do really need to be careful on the amount I press out. If its too much, it will be a little difficult to evenly apply them across well. Hmm....I still prefer those lip balm that comes in those turning tube.

Pushing the lip balm out from the small hole.

The lip balm itself is not oily and not sticky.  

How the lip balm look like.

Even them out on my hand.

Well, I used this lip balm in my air-con room. My lip does not feel dry after applying. The next day when I wake up, my lip is still moist. 

But chapped lips, I personally feel that its not so useful in this area. Its good for my dry lip but not when its badly chapped.
