Naked White Collagen: the 90-day Challenge

One of the most memorable articles I’ve written for Project Vanity is definitely my 30-day Naked White Collagen review. Long story short, the collagen drink delivered noticeable results: brighter, more even skin, improved skin elasticity, and healthier hair and nails, among others. It sounds dramatic, but it’s true: trying Naked White Collagen has changed my life.

Drinking my pink collagen drink has become a habit that has improved my overall well-being since then.
