Supplements VS Skin Concerns
Monday 7th November 2016
Supplements are a relatively new trend to hit beauty salons - yet the idea of internally supplementing the diet for improved skin and overall health has been around for years.
A healthy diet alone will not give you the same benefits as taking supplements, as to get such a wide range of nutrients and in such high concentrations you would need to eat a lot of food. I mean a lot.
To put it in perspective, to get as much Vitamin A and phytonutrients as 2 tablets of Skin Accumax contains you would need to consume 8 heads of broccoli. There is as much vitamin C in 6 lemons as there is in only 1 tablet of skin Vit C. Whilst consuming a healthy diet is important, it is much easier and more effective to use supplements to see more noticeable changes in skin and nails.
Think of supplements as internal skincare. Your skin is fed by 2 things.
1. Products we apply topically to the surface
2. Vitamins and minerals we consume internally
Improved skincare results can be doubled when you combine the use of internal supplements with topical products. Simply put, feeding the skin from the inside works.
So let's look at some of the top skin conditions and how supplements can be used to treat them.
Acne
Acne occurs for 4 reasons
1. Lack of skin exfoliation so dead skin cells clog pores
2. Overproduction of sebum (oil)
3. Too high a level of bacteria on the skin surface ( a certain amount is needed and considered normal)
4. Increased hormone activity.
Now 3 of these causes can be treated topically but one can't. Hormone activity. This can only be treated internally.
Skin Accumx is a scientifically advanced nutritional supplement designed to help with congestion and breakout. It contains phytonutrients, vitamins A, C and E and has anti inflammatory properties. It is also proven to help balance hormonal activity which can be a major cause of monthly breakouts in women.
Eczema
Eczema is a really common problem and can affect people of all ages. It is characterised by flakey dry and irritated skin patches.
Omega oils are great for adding a massive boost of hydration and calm the skin at the same time with their anti inflammatory properties. 2 omega tablets contains as much omega 3 and 6 as 20 portions of salmon. They enhance the skins protective barrier making it less susceptible to bacterial infection and improves skin immunity.
Fine lines and wrinkles
As we age our skin looses elasticity and collagen production slows down. By internally supplementing with Collagen Support tablets you are encouraging your body to produce more collagen and prevents the breakdown of old collagen. They can help with scar healing, photo aging from sun exposure, fine lines and wrinkles and loose saggy skin. Each tablet contains Vitamin A,C and D alongside Rutin,Choline and Hesperidin.
Dry Flakey Nails
Nails are made up of the same compentents as the skin and need as much care to maintain their health. Nail Science is a specific blend of nutrients designed to strengthen weak nails, feed the nail bed, prevent moisture loss and promote growth.
