“You must be the older one,” my boss said to me when I introduced my sister. What a punch to the gut. My sister is five years older than me. I‘m the younger one. I’m supposed to have the glowing, plump skin.
I’ve known for a while but was in total denial, like clinical-sized denial, that my youthful, plump skin was now part of my college memories. And that meant…
…l was looking old at 28.
Once I was honest with myself, I was shocked at how aging etched lines into my face, forearms, neck, and thighs. Dry skin made my thighs look crepey, and my wrists had creases if I didn’t keep moisturizing. Not to mention the dry eye wrinkles, which gave me crow’s feet. So I tried stuff. Lots of stuff.
I tried hydrating my skin by drinking a gazillion ounces of water a day. I peed–a lot. Rainbow was my mantra at mealtime. And extra moisturizers were slathered on every night from head to toe, like grease on fried chicken.
My skin just stayed like the Sahara no matter what.
So, I hit Google. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, as we age, we experience thinner, drier skin and an increase in wrinkles and other signs of aging. And by age 25 the skin’s metabolism starts slowing down, which means increasing dryness and wrinkles.
After more online research for a new skincare routine sans the cheap chemicals shown to make dry skin worse, I discovered a skincare company whose formulations place emphasis on natural ingredients ––Truly Beauty.
My curiosity about Truly and their vegan, high-performance skincare grew because their routines have gone viral on TikTok. Millions of fans can’t be wrong.
But then my skeptic popped out. The set that I wanted came with five products and a gorgeous travel trunk – the set had a value of over $400. But right now, it’s marked down to only $143. Then I realized with the trunk included, the cost for each item was only $23. That’s cheaper than many drugstore brands.
And on the bright side, if this experiment failed, I had nothing to lose with their
30-day money-back guarantee.
So, I ordered the Vegan Collagen Booster Set because Truly considers it a “revolutionary face + body anti-aging routine” that contains three of the most active ingredients for restoring youthful-looking skin: retinol, vitamin C, and plant collagen booster.
When my order arrived and I opened the box, my first thought was, OMG! I love this trunk, and the products are huge! The Vegan Collagen Anti-aging Booster Set consists of five, yes, five different products for the face and body. Truly wasn’t messing around. And I was super hopeful about restoring the look of my skin.
Truly says that this routine will support my skin’s natural collagen production, giving my skin a visible lift and fewer visible lines. That’s way more than what just moisturizing does.
After 30 days, did Truly’s Vegan Collagen Booster Anti-Aging Set keep its promise? A thousand times, yes!!!
Not only do I now have the products on subscription, but I’m happy to report that my skin hasn’t had this youthful-looking glow and bounce in years!
My skin looks dewy on my face, thighs, and arms. And the fine lines? They’re hard to notice, even if I look closely in the mirror. Truly’s set has transformed my skin, and I’m so thrilled to have confidence in my appearance –and look like the younger sister again!
Fun fact. While packing my car for a weekend getaway, my neighbor stopped me and noted that I looked really good then she asked about that “gorgeous yellow trunk.” So now there are two new Truly fans in the world.
