Want your best healthy-looking skin, naturally?
At Therapure, we know that a healthy outside starts on the inside. Often, we might be lacking in nutrients that not only do wonders for our overall health but show through our skin health as well.
So, what are some of the ingredients should you be looking for in a skin supplement to achieve your best skin? Here’s our top 4!
Biotin
Also known as vitamin H or one of the B complex vitamins, Biotin is a skin-loving ingredient that helps support your overall skin, hair, eye, liver, and nervous system health. Biotin works to maintain mucous membranes of the skin while playing a vital role in aiding digestion and energy production – which is essential for maintaining glowing skin. As well as taking Biotin through supplementation, this essential vitamin can be consumed through foods such as walnuts, egg yolk, salmon, and pork. As our bodies don’t naturally produce Biotin, it is important to ensure you are consuming enough through nutrition and supplementation.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic Acid in its purest form, is a powerful antioxidant that assists in fighting free radical damage to your skin cells, reduces inflammation, and offers powerful support for your immune system. Free-radicals are a by-product of the natural ageing process, and can also be caused by several factors such as your environment, lifestyle choices, and nutrition. While vitamin C can’t erase an unhealthy lifestyle, it can work alongside a balanced lifestyle to protect your skin from a range of both internal and external factors. It is important to ensure you consume enough Vitamin C in your daily diet, whether that be through nutrition or supplementation, as our bodies don’t naturally synthesise it. Additional to supplementation, vitamin C can be consumed through citrus fruits such as oranges, chili, parsley, broccoli, and sweet potato.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is an antioxidant-rich, free-radical fighting vitamin that is essential for achieving a flawless complexion. While fighting and preventing inflammation, vitamin A also works to speed up the healing process of your skin which is great for working to eliminate that pesky acne scarring. Want glowing skin? Vitamin A also aids in the process of natural moisturising, keeping your skin feeling hydrated and radiant. If you’re looking to increase your vitamin A intake, make sure you choose a supplement that provides the natural beta-carotene form (the same form found in carrots). Vitamin A can also be consumed through foods such as carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, mangos, and papaya.
Zinc
Zinc, the humble mineral, plays an essential role in supporting your overall skin health and helping you to achieve clearer skin. A potent anti-inflammatory, zinc is effective for targeting inflamed skin due to acne. Zinc is also a natural DHT-blocker, which means it assists in lowering the sebum production of your skin. A build-up of sebum in your hair follicles is what can cause acne, therefore consuming more zinc (via your diet or supplementation) can do wonders for blemish-related skin issues. Foods that are rich in zinc include poultry, eggs, seafood, lentils, and beans.
