Your skin is like the dashboard of the body.
Everything the happens behind the scenes, like the kind of foods and drinks you consume or your general lifestyle patterns, can impact the way your skin appears.
If you’re not putting the right stuff into your body, it will show on your skin, and if it doesn’t show right away, it certainly will in the long run.
But life can often be jam-packed, leaving very little time for making a salad full of nutrient-dense veggies, or juicing greens.
Unless you’re incredibly organised with your meal prepping, many of us just end up settling for greasy, easy to make food or sugar-heavy treats that are so dangerous when working from home and in close proximity to the snack cupboard.
This is where brilliantly formulated skin-focused supplementation can come to the rescue.
Basic supplements for beautiful skin
As a start, you can never go wrong with a good multivitamin supplement like Health Renewal’s Multivitamin and Mineral.
It includes all the essential vitamins and minerals, many of which are antioxidants vital to your well-being and which translate to healthy-looking skin.
Among them is vitamin C, which helps protects your body’s collagen supply, enhances healing and even boosts your body’s natural sun protection capabilities.
When vitamin C is taken together with inflammation-fighter vitamin E, these vitamin ‘BFFs’ will turbo-boost each other’s antioxidant power.
You’ll also find a good mix of omega-3-fatty acids, which include ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
These fatty acids have remarkable anti-inflammatory properties that can fight the scourge of “inflammageing” – premature ageing caused by chronic low levels of inflammation in the body.
Consuming enough omega-3 fatty acids will also boost your skin’s natural sun protection and hydration levels.
EPA and DHA are mostly found in fish, so those eating a plant-based diet could struggle to hit their recommended daily allowance.
This is why a supplement such as Health Renewal’s Omega 3 is a must.
Supplements can help fight acne
Research has found that acne sufferers are typically deficient in vitamins A and E, as well as selenium and zinc.
A more targeted supplement like Lamelle Acnevelle Plus should be considered for this, as it contains niacinamide and zinc that, when taken together, is clinically proven to reduce breakouts.
Better yet, this combination can also reduce redness and inflammation while improving the skin’s barrier function.
Another brilliant option for acne-prone skin is Health Renewal Acne Aid 2 in 1 that also contains the winning niacinamide and zinc combo.
This supplement goes the extra mile to include selenium and botanical extracts, carefully chosen for their potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
Supplements can keep skin pigmentation at bay
Skin enemy number one is the sun.
It can dehydrate the skin and leave dark unwanted marks all over.
While nothing will ever replace the need for sun protection, certain supplements can dramatically improve your skin’s natural resistance to the damage caused by the sun.
For example, Lamelle Ovelle 3D is clinically proven to reduce the look of hormonal pigmentation by 37% in just 28 days.
It contains vitamin D3 and pycnogenol, a super antioxidant made from pine bark.
Ovelle 3D will also help protect your skin’s collagen supply and boost its hyaluronic acid content to improve hydration – and we know dehydrated skin is a tough problem to crack.
There’s also another excellent sun protection-enhancer; Heliocare 360, which contains antioxidant vitamins C and E, plus a tropical fern extract scientifically proven to increase your resistance to UV radiation.
In short, it is not just about what you use on the surface to ensure clear, radiant skin, but it is also about what you need from within to make the surface shine.
There isn’t a serum in the world that can replace the glow of good health.
