Ingestible beauty isn’t new, but it’s becoming more prominent due to the gut/skin connection getting recognition. What you put INSIDE is a natural complement to what you put ON your skin.
I’ve taken skincare supplements since I turned 40 as this is when collagen & hyaluronic acid levels, which are what keep our skin looking youthful, start to rapidly decline!
Topical skincare products may only treat skin up to 20% but specific skincare supplements can treat skin up to 80%!
We are what we eat & rather than just treating a skincare condition with topicals, supplements get to the root cause, as part of a holistic treatment of the skin.
From thinning hair, acne, pigmentation to ageing skin there’s now a supplement for everyone & retinol gummies are coming!!
It’s called the 360 approach & it ensures that by applying topical skincare, ingesting skin boosting foods, avoiding non skin friendly food & lifestyle choices & taking specific skin supplements, you will give your skin the best possible chance of ageing slower!
Preventing ageing is easier than fixing it, & as 80% of ageing is within our control anyway, it’s all down to how we treat it & what we expose it to & skin is the first place to show the signs of poor nutrition.
Dr David Jack, a Harley street aesthetic doctor sees supplements as an insurance policy & by taking them alongside your topical skincare, it ensures you get enough vitamins, as even if you lead a healthy lifestyle, skin is faced with daily aggressors like pollution, UV rays, stress, make up & diet.
Even though we obtain vitamins through our diet, our skin is at the bottom of the pecking order after our organs & vital functions, so the body takes up most of the goodness first, so the amount left over for skin is hugely reduced.
Also, according to Nutritional therapist Shona Wilkinson, ingesting skin boosting ingredients rather than putting them on your face is more beneficial, as skin is designed to be a protective barrier to keep things out.
Some excellent ones on the market are @reviveactive @hush_and_hush @gloh.beauty @swedishnutraireland @skinade @col_du_marine_ie @lq_collagen @rejuvenateduk & a new one that I’ll reveal tomorrow! @ Wexford, Ireland
