Every day the beautysphere is inundated with information about things that we should be putting on our skin to improve it. From omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, C and E to the new miracle cream, mud masks and snail mucus, it can get pretty overwhelming at times. But as the focus on what we put into our bodies continues to grow, what about improving our skin from the inside? Cue nutricosmetics.
For those unfamiliar with the term, it refers to nutritional supplements that support the structure and the function of the skin. These supplements are available in three main forms; concentrated liquid formulas, powders and tablets that pack numerous vitamins, minerals and nutrients into one product. They make a surprisingly low-maintenance addition to one’s beauty regime; simply drink a teaspoon a day, sprinkle over smoothies and meals or pop a pill – easy peasy right? So much so, that e-tailers and retailers are taking them very seriously, devoting entire sections of stores to these products.
When selecting a supplement, look for reputable brands that have done their research as well as nutricosmetics that have multiple benefits such as both anti-ageing properties and additional benefits for strengthening hair and nails. Because nutricosmetics target the skin’s appearance from the inside out, it will take a little while to see results – as skin cells renew every three to five weeks you probably won’t start to see improvement until you’ve been taking a product for four to eight weeks. We’ve selected six of the most popular nutrcosmetic products that will not only help to improve your skin but are aslo formulated to increase energy levels, take care of muscles and joints and boost your immune system.
