When I was asked to try SNAILWHITE’s new botanical body washes, I was both intrigued and a little skeptical. I haven’t tried anything from the brand, although I’ve heard good things about their skin care products.

One of the most memorable articles I’ve written for Project Vanity is definitely my 30-day Naked White Collagen review. Long story short, the collagen drink delivered noticeable results: brighter, more even skin, improved skin elasticity, and healthier hair and nails, among others. It sounds dramatic, but it’s true: trying Naked White Collagen has changed my life. In fact, just seven days into the assignment, I was so sure I’d use it well after the article got published that I bought a few boxes myself! Drinking my pink collagen drink has become a habit that has improved my overall well-being since then.
