At the core of beautiful skin is a healthy well functioning body.  In order for our bodies to run like a well-oiled machine, we require essential nutrients and energy from the foods that we consume.  But, sometimes our fast-paced lifestyles lead to less than stellar dietary choices. If we support our bodies’ inner system with vitamins and nutrients, then our largest organ will appear stronger and healthier.
According to a 2007 study in The Journal of Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, by taking an oral supplement combined with the topical antioxidant treatment you are provided with greater protection than with topical alone. Skin hydration levels are boosted by 60% and protection against environmental damage by 20%.
Skin and other targeted supplements are meant to play a supporting role in your skincare routine. Such exciting advances are sure to lead to greater improvements in the optimization of oral skincare but are meant to be supplemental with our topical beauty routines and treatments.
In recent studies, supplements rich in omega-3 help to nourish and hydrate the skin from the inside out. They are vital to human health, but cannot be manufactured by the body.  For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food or supplements like Perricone MD.
Tip: Omega-3 is naturally present in fish such as tuna, salmon, and halibut. Â It is also found in walnuts, flax seeds, soybeans, and pumpkin seeds.
According to Medical News Today, collagen is the protein responsible for skin elasticity, joint and bone health. Over time, however, the production of this protein slows down, and long-term wrinkles begin to form. Supplements with a collagen boost, like HUM or The Beauty Chef, can help consumers increase their collagen intake.
