In this hectic and stressful modern age we live in, we girls know it’s more important than ever to do all we can to maintain a healthy and youthful skin complexion. Feeling stressed? Didn’t drink enough water? Not maintaining a balanced diet? Not getting at least 8 hours of beauty sleep? I can safely say we are all guilty of at least one of the above.
I first came across LAC Taut® Collagen Drink from a popular Taiwanese beauty program 女人我最大 (Lady First List) in 2014. Collagen found in our everyday food is too large to break down so by breaking down the collagen molecules through revolutionary hydrolysis process, they can be rapidly absorbed by the body.

The powerful age-defying ingredients not only help to hydrate the skin, it repairs and rejuvenate damaged cells and regular consumption could help to brighten the overall skin tone too. I was sold and that was when I became a convert of this powerful antioxidant drink.

Anyway, I was really thrilled to be recently invited by LAC to develop a series of mocktails infused with their Taut® collagen drink range.
With their proprietary collagen formula that contains an incredible 13,000mg dose of RDS (Rapid Delivery System) premium low molecular weight collagen, each mocktail is not only chockfull with skin boosting goodness, but so yummy refreshing as well!
I like to imagine myself sitting by a pool lounge somewhere, favorite book in hand, and sipping on these cool, soothing delights with tanned cabana boys waiting on me hand and foot (hee hee
