Glowelle: Beauty Supplement Tackles Skincare

Glowelle is a new beauty drink that launched this month and is being sold at Bergdorf Goodman and Neimen Marcus (believe it or not the line comes courtesy of Nestle). It’s made with a blend of antioxidant vitamins, phyto-nutrients, botanical, and fruit extracts that are said to help fight the signs of aging by nourishing the skin from within. I tried it in a powder pack because I’m always looking for an alternative to my One-a-Day for Women pills which are so massive they give me an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. Now, I wish that I could get all the right vitamins and such from my diet, but unfortunately even back in my late teen years when I was a vegetarian (I started eating meat again because I ended-up only consuming cheese, bread, and chocolate — so I was literally 18 with a cholesterol problem!!), I wasn’t getting my essential vitamins. So to that end I tried the 7-day Natural Pomegranate Lychee Flavor blend in the powder pack (50 calories) – it’s described as exotic pomegranate with a hint of tropical lychee. I have to say to Glowelle’s defense that I have a very sensitive palette, but personally I couldn’t drink this on a regular basis. That said, I do think that getting the essential vitamins is critical for good skin and to that end drinking something like this could only help. However, if you’re not getting the vitamins and such that you need from your food, a quick 7-day pack isn’t going to do the trick — you need something like this everyday! But don’t forget to take your vitamins, drink fruit and vegi smoothies, and lots of water as well, especially now when the weather gets cool and all we want to do is sit at home eating things we shouldn’t!!
