This is not a joke. Nescafe has a new product -- coffee sachets with 200mg of collagen infused in them. At first glance this seems like a great idea, collagen is key to keeping your skin looking young, and what could be easier than getting a daily dose of it with your coffee?
But … there's a little problem with this idea, since health experts say that the collagen would be broken down in your digestive system and never actually make it to your skin. Whomp-whomp.
Nescafe isn't the first brand to try this idea; this product has been around for awhile and claims to do the same things. What do you think? Are collagen-infused food, drinks and supplements the wave of the future, or just a hoax?

What is it with beauty companies and baby penises? I'll never forget receiving the press release for TNS Recovery Complex, a cream blended with the oh-so tender leftover foreskins of circumcised bathing suit parts a few years ago and thinking, "Well, now I've seen it all." But flash forward to 2008: Now we can inject it! Yesterday we reported that British biomedical company Intercytex had just introduced Vavelta, a revolutionary new injectable that's able to "repopulate" the skin with healthy skin cells, or fibroblasts, cultured from the baby foreskins. Fibroblasts are responsible for the production of collagen and, when injected into the skin, apparently they can produce it, which is big news for Park Avenue derm offices. Read More »

Yesterday, as I waited to get a facial, I picked up a copy of a magazine in my Spa's waiting lounge. The magazine is geared towards informing consumers on cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery and other invasive procedures to stay 'young and beautiful.' Against invasive and... Read More »
