Natural Beauty From Within
Cleansers and moisturisers are great for stimulate skin health and appearance at the surface layer, however they cannot penetrate the top layer to nourish the deeper layers of the skin such as the dermis, which contains our hair follicles, connective tissues and sweat glands.
Most of us look after our skin on the outside but we can also look after our skin from the inside. Our skin plays a role in our health by acting as a barrier to pathogens as well as insulating, regulating temperature and synthesising Vitamin D. Having great skin is important both for looks and for health. We need to feed our skin the right nutrients to achieve a healthy radiant complexion.
1. Vitamin C
Key ingredients like vitamin C, which can be found in citrus fruits, is great for promoting collagen formation and skin elasticity.
2. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is another staple nutrient, found in spinach, avocado, nuts and seeds, and is a powerhouse for moisturising skin and slowing down the ageing process.
Topical treatments with these ingredients can be great for treating the surface layer in addition to providing many benefits that are more than skin deep.
3 & 4. Zinc and Selenium
Other essential skin nutrients are Zinc and Selenium which both act as antioxidants, counteracting environmental damage from UV damage or pollutants. Protecting the skin from further damage they result in stronger skin.
5. Silica
Silica is also amazing for skin health by reducing the signs of premature skin ageing. It provides support for skin’s integrity and structure by acting as a glue where it sits inside collagen providing strength and flexibility. It supports collagen formation and connective tissue formation, is anti-inflammatory, balances hormones, helps red blood cells carry ~20% more oxygen and can contribute to knitting together internal mucosal layers too such as the gut lining.
