I\u2019m exposed to living in New York City\u2014I was pumped to add these beauty shots to my daily routine and see whether I\u2019d notice any differences after a month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2018\/02\/28\/types-of-collagen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Which Type Of Collagen Is Right For You?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I kept the rest of my relatively low-maintenance beauty routine exactly the same so I could measure whether or not the collagen shots were doing anything: I used a gentle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/cleansers-toners\/N-cp99mw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">facial cleanser<\/a> morning and night, applied <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/sun-insect-protection\/N-cp99mu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sunscreen<\/a> in the morning, and continued my usual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/moisturizers-serums\/N-cp99mx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retinol serum<\/a> before bed (retinol is the gold standard wrinkle-fighting ingredient). Once a week, I slathered on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/masks\/N-cp99n0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brightening face mask<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always in a rush to get to the office on time in the morning, so I stashed my shots in my bag the night before so I wouldn\u2019t forget to take them. Still, I got home from work most days that first week only to find the shot still in my bag\u2014so I had my first few shots for dessert. Once I started taking them out of my bag as soon as I sat down at my desk, though, getting into the routine grew easier. On crazy-busy days, I often didn\u2019t get around to imbibing until the afternoon, so instead of going out for my usual iced hibiscus tea at three o\u2019clock, I made the beauty shots my afternoon treat. (I consider the four bucks a day I saved a major perk of the experiment.) I even packed a few shots with me on a long weekend of traveling for a friend\u2019s wedding, and knocked them back before moving onto more traditional celebratory beverages (a.k.a. actual shots).<\/p>\n<p>I expected the shots\u2019 watermelon mint flavor to be overly sweet and artificial (when I hear anything is watermelon-flavored, I automatically assume it\u2019s going to taste like a Jolly Rancher), but it was really delicious! Nice and subtle with no weird aftertaste. And despite all of the ingredients in there, the shots went down like water. I worried they\u2019d be goopy or chalky, but they had a thin, pleasant texture. I came to really enjoy drinking my shot every afternoon, and was sad when my 30 days were up.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>My Complexion, A Month Later<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After 30 days of dutifully downing my shots, I didn\u2019t notice a change in the wrinkles around my eyes\u2014but I <em>did<\/em>, however, notice that my complexion looked all-around glowier than usual.
