Have the summer’s day rays being assaulting your skin while you were on the hunt for some totally needed vitamin D? Or perhaps, no matter how hard you tried to avoid the sun’s glare, you are still suffering from parched, post solar skin? Maybe it’s due to a different summer factor—wind, salt water, chlorine, excess alcohol consumption, or dehydration. Regardless of the cause, line up the supplements!
Did you know that supplements are a safe and effective way to help undo the harsh impact of unforgiving summer assaults on your skin? Supplements are great to use as both a preventative measure, and to minimize the damage caused by summer variables.
Our recommendations? Skin Complete and Skin Omegas+.
Summer weather dehydrates the skin, weakens the skin’s barrier, and causes pigmentation. Taking Skin Complete throughout the summer months will enhance the skin’s integrity at the level of the cell’s DNA. While Skin Complete is the perfect supplement to nourish and protect the skin during the sunshine season, it’s also beneficial to take well into the fall to continue to protect your skin and undo any summer-related damages.
A package of 2 magical supplements, Skin Complete combines a skin antioxidant and skin vitamin A that helps to prevent and repair the damaged caused by your summertime shenanigans. All you need is one daily (taken with food), to get protection for your dehydrated and stressed out summer skin.
Skin Antioxidant
Antioxidants are free radical scavengers that help remove toxins in the body (cells damaged from environmental factors), and while great to take all year, they are especially important in the summer. Seven skin benefiting phytonutrients in Skin Antioxidant protect the skin from harmful UV rays and the damage they cause. In particular, lutein and lycopene have been clinically proven to help filter UV rays, reduce the incidence of sunburns, and help heal the skin in the unfortunate circumstance that you’ve already been burnt.
Skin Vitamin A+
Skin Vitamin A+ helps repair those damaged cells by creating healthy cellular growth, repair, and metabolism. It will also help minimize pigmentation and promote new fibroblasts that will in turn create new collagen and elastin —making the skin more even-toned, smooth, and firm.
Unlike a topical vitamin A that exfoliates dead skin cells and makes the skin susceptible to UV damage, ingestible vitamin A is safe to use during the summer and works in the deepest layers of the skin. Note that this is not a prescription-based vitamin A and it is not harmful to the body.
Skin Omegas+
Skin Omegas+ is also a fantastic supplement and is recommended year-round. The omega fatty acids create a protective barrier that helps to lock in moisture, reduce inflammation, and build the skin’s integrity—all things that your skin will appreciate 365 days a year!
*The only word of caution: Women who are pregnant or nursing should consult a health care practitioner before taking Skin Vitamin A+, and those on blood thinners should consult their physician before taking Skin Omegas+.
