Woman whose long eyelashes became short and sparse reveals the drink that ‘brought them back’ – but there’s a downside

A BEAUTY fan has revealed the healthy drink that improved the appearance of her lashes.

She said her eyelashes struggled to grow and were “sparse” before making the drink a staple in her daily diet.

The woman praised the drink on Reddit’s 30 Plus Skincare forum while participating in a discussion about bone broth.

MAGIC POTION

She confessed that the drink might not work for everyone, but it gave impressive results.

“People can tell me all day every day that drinking collagen and bone broth ‘does nothing,’” she said, writing under the handle Glitchinthemeowtrix.

“But whenever I drink consistently, my nails get stronger, my hair gets stronger and my eyelashes get really long again.

“I always had longer eyelashes growing up, but as I got older they became shorter and sparser.

“But collagen brought them back and I love it. It also helps me a lot with joint pain and recovery from exercise.”

She said having “a lot of sensitives and food allergies” may have made her more responsive to bone broth and collagen compared to other people.

She said collagen has numerous health benefits.

“I’m sure some people don’t see any results with bone broth/collagen, but I assume that’s because their body isn’t lacking whatever it is that people who do see results lack, if that makes sense,” she said.

“It’s mostly small cosmetic improvements for me and the added bonus of helping a little to improve my joint pain.

“Plus, I enjoy a dose of protein in the morning when I add a packet of collagen powder to my coffee.”

The beauty enthusiast said the supplement also improved hair growth, but the downside is that it also triggers facial hair growth.

She revealed the two collagen products that gave her the best results.

“The Great Lakes Jell-O cans are always a great option (green container) and I also really like the Bulletproof Coffee Collagen single-serve packets,” she said.

“I’ve had bad-tasting collagen before – I don’t remember the brands, it’s usually mixed with other things.

“But the ones I listed must be practically tasteless (at most you taste the slightest hint of earthy flavor). I mix mine in coffee or tea!”

Many Redditors upvoted the post to show their appreciation for the beauty tip.
