Sonja Schoonenberg (@glowhealthydietitian) has over 13,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty advice for women over 40.
In comparison to photos taken a decade ago, she no longer has lines or wrinkles on her face.
She explained how she transformed her appearance without Botox, fillers, or any other invasive cosmetic treatment.
“As a registered dietitian, nutritionist, certified diabetes educator, anti-aging expert, and self-proclaimed collagen junkie I went down the rabbit hole,” she said.
“I did a lot of research and what I uncovered is really just how important collagen is.
“It has so much structure and function in the body, but when it relates to anti-aging our levels begin to decline over the age of 30.
“It is really the glue that keeps our body together and that includes your largest organ – your skin.
“Part two to this is that we also see lower levels of hyaluronic acid.

“Hyaluronic acid you might hear as a topical, which can be good but topical will never address the internal anti-aging that we’re looking for.
“Our levels of hyaluronic acid also begin to decline and when that happens we have less hydration in our skin.
“When that happens you see those visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, dry skin, turkey neck.
“Really you just lose your glow.”
Sonja held up Modere’s Liquid Biocell Skin with collagen and hyaluronic acid, which cost $83 from the manufacturer’s website.
According to the product description, “Liquid BioCell Skin provides the proven benefits of the multi-patented supernutraceutical Liquid BioCell collagen along with 18 phytonutrient-rich superfoods and ceramides.
“It increases skin’s collagen content and restores glowing, youthful skin from the inside out.”
Sonja said she found the product after looking for an anti-aging supplement that is backed by clinical trials.
“It’s collagen, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate,” she said.

“In the right size molecules for your body to actually be able to absorb. It’s not what you take that matters, it’s what your body absorbs.
“I take two tablespoons a day of this liquid gold and it has literally done magic for me,” she said as she poured it out.
She raved that the product improves skin hydration within 28 days of taking it consistently.
Sonja said she takes the supplement first thing in the morning and again around 12 hours later.
“How I took 10 years off my face without Botox or filler,” she captioned the video.
Many viewers took to the comment section saying they were eager to try the product to start aging backwards.
