To promote her newly released skin care line, Rhode Skin, Hailey Bieber launched a skin-loving smoothie at the California mecca of luxury health food, Erewhon Market. At a whopping $17, the “Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie,” might not have the same effect on your wallet as it does on your complexion. 

Erewhon posted the ingredient list for the smoothie on Instagram, which includes classic items like collagen powder, strawberries, almond milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, etc. As you read through the list of 10 different unique additions, you’ll come across one elusive item: Hyaluronic acid. 

Here, we have a dupe recipe that will check all of the boxes, and even combine some of these seemingly unattainable ingredients into one step.

Hailey Biber and the Erewhon team are right: Collagen and hyaluronic acid are skin-loving ingredients.* At mbg, we’re well aware of this fact as well, which is why we included both of them in our beauty & gut collagen+ blend. 

In one scoop of this supplement, you’ll get 100 milligrams of hyaluronic acid. What will this do for your skin exactly? Well, your body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, which supports skin hydration from the inside out.* As you age, your hyaluronic acid supply begins to dwindle, which is where supplementation comes into play.* 

Research shows positive effects of replenishing your natural HA with supplements: One study found that people who took 120 milligrams of hyaluronic acid a day for eight to 12 weeks experienced better skin aging (fewer wrinkles and more supple skin) compared with those who took a placebo.* 

Not to mention, this blend contains 17.7 grams of hydrolyzed collagen peptides as well, all in the same step. Not so bad, huh?

And we'd be remiss not to mention, but hyaluronic acid, your skin’s natural collagen production fades with age. Around your mid to late 20s (depending on genetics), your collagen production will slow down. From that point on, you’ll lose about 1% of your collagen stash every year. And once menopause comes along, you can actually lose around 30 percent. 

Collagen plays a major role in supporting healthy, youthful-looking skin.* The list of benefits of collagen supplementation is a mile long, but here’s a guide to get you started. 

We appreciate the emphasis on caring for your skin from the inside out, and this dupe recipe is a great way to do just that from your own home.
