My skin is looking awful dull and dry.
i have a skin care regime.
i have started taking collagen.
Any supplements or things i can add to sort it out?
I don’t use any retinols etc.
Do I need something like Skin and Me?

Honestly, collagen is a good start, but if your skin is feeling dry and dull, it's usually a sign your barrier needs more support from the inside, think omega-3s, vitamin D, and making sure you're actually hydrated enough throughout the day.

Unfortunately I have found my skin looks best when I avoid carbs, sugar, wheat and dairy. A diet consisting of a huge variety of vegetables, smoothies, juices and lots of healthy fats (avocado, salmon, full fat coconut milk etc) makes my skin glow.

Also, try to drink 3 litres of water a day. If your skin is dehydrated this will plump it out. Beware, you will wee A LOT.
