The other day, I almost got myself a bottle of sheep placenta supplement that was on sale. However, I thought I better read up more about it before making the purchase. In the end, I decided against it. Come to think of it, I’ve become a coward (read: kiasi) when it comes to beauty supplements. I was never like that. Years ago, I would purchase supplements that promised me fuller hair or healthier nails and I didn’t need much prompting about eating collagen for skin firming. However, somewhere along the way, I got lazy. And these days, I prefer to rely on skin care products and treatments instead, while maintaining a healthy diet. I take supplements all right, but strangely, I’ll avoid those that are packaged as beauty supplements.
