You feel beautiful when you feel good about yourself, your lifestyle is in balance and when you surround yourself with people you love. The strength of your body is often underestimated. Diet, stress and your hormones all have a greater influence on your skin than you think. When you take good care of the inside, you will see it on the outside. The moment the foundation of your skin is good on the inside, the effects of creams and treatments will take effect much better. In our busy lives it sometimes becomes difficult to take good care of ourselves on some days, so I take vitamins and minerals every day. The Smoothly brand has two products for beautiful skin from the inside out. Natural beauty from within with Smoothly.

Your daily dose of beauty

At Smoothly they believe in a Holistic approach and they think it is important that you are kind to yourself, kind to your skin and kind to the planet. All beauty supplements are packaged in sustainable (refill) packaging. The goal is to make skin and hair healthier, stronger and more radiant from within, with products that are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Locally produced in the Netherlands (Katwijk to be precise) in refillable glass jars and plastic-free shipments.

Clear & Pure

One of the Smoothly products that I have been able to test is the Clear & Pure, for soft, supple skin with a beautiful glow. Packed with ingredients that ensure beautiful skin, such as;

• Astaxanthin, this antioxidant penetrates deep into the skin layers where it ensures a smooth and supple skin. It protects your skin from free radicals from the outside. Your skin retains moisture better and becomes more elastic.
• Beta-carotene, our body cannot make vitamin A itself and this ingredient is converted in our body to vitamin A. It increases the resistance of the skin and protects against UV radiation.
• Pine tree extract, from the bark of the Chinese Pinus massoniana. Pine tree extract makes your skin more beautiful from within.

Vegan Collagen Boost

Collagen, the important protein in our body that ensures a young and firm skin. Unfortunately, the production of collagen in our body decreases after the age of 25. Therefore, the daily intake of collagen plays an important role when it comes to skin care and youthful-looking skin.

In addition, I was also able to test the Smoothly Vegan Collagen Boost, which contains Vitamin C, among other things, which is important for the production of collagen, it increases collagen production. In addition to vitamin C, the Vegan Collagen Boost contains the following ingredients for beautiful skin.

• Hyaluronic acid, this is also a body’s own substance that unfortunately decreases as we get older. It binds large amounts of moisture and is therefore important for hydration and volume in the skin.
• Vitamin B2, also referred to as Riboflavin, is a vitamin that is especially important in the winter months against moisture deficiency. Think of cracked lips and dry corners of the mouth.
• Vitamin B3, also referred to as Niacinamide. It restores the skin barrier, allowing the skin to better retain moisture and provide protection against external influences. 

The great thing about these two products is that you can easily combine them. The amount of overlapping ingredients is still at a safe daily amount. At Smoothly you can also opt for a subscription with a 15% discount, so that you do not run out of supplements. The subscription can be canceled or paused at any time. You will receive the glass jar with your first order and after that you will receive the refill packs for the same price.
