A food supplement for the beauty of your skin or nutricosmetic is an oral product that has visible benefits on the skin. These benefits are the same as those that can be expected from so-called “topical” cosmetics:
• Hydration
• Photoprotection
• Impact on wrinkles and fine lines
The renewal of the skin takes place at the level of the hypodermis and the dermis, which means that the topical route (creams, serums, lotions, etc.) has a limited impact. It only acts on the upper layers of the epidermis, whereas the nutrients provided orally, and therefore through the bloodstream, will be able to act from the inside at the level of the deeper layers of the skin. In addition, the crossing of the epidermal barrier is a delicate point which does not make it possible to control the dose administered. Oral administration of the food supplement has the advantage of delivering the optimal dose required.
However, nutricosmetics and topicals are not mutually exclusive! On the contrary, there is a real benefit to using nutricosmetics to enhance the effectiveness of topical cosmetics.
The anti-aging concern finds its source in a quest that has always existed: the search for the fountain of youth. We are now trying to prevent the imbalances produced by excess oxidative stress and free radicals in a process of cell protection and a reduction in the phenomenon of inflammaging. That is to say the state of chronic inflammation of cells that cause aging linked to our lifestyles, stress, food and external aggressions: pollution, sun, tobacco.
A balanced and varied diet is essential for beautiful skin. Fruits, plants and vegetable oils provide vitamin C, vitamin E, essential to stimulate the body's natural defenses. However, some nutrients are not present in sufficient quantities in our diet. However, the benefits of these active ingredients have been clinically demonstrated to preserve the health of the skin.
The use of serums, creams, sun filters make it possible to treat the epidermis, that is to say the outer layers of the skin. Nutrients provided orally, and therefore through the bloodstream, will be able to act from within in the dermis to act in synergy with topical treatments. Effective skin food supplements can complement anti-aging creams, moisturizers and lightening creams for all skin types.
The skin is an organ that renews itself throughout life. The cells that make it up regenerate naturally in a 21-day cycle. When you start a food supplement cure it is important to be in line with this period of time and not hesitate to renew up to 3 months. If you would like to be advised on the formulas that suit you, talk to your doctor.
First you must identify what you want to target for your skin and what your skin problems are: dry skin, sensitive skin, irritated skin, bags under the eyes, dark spots, pigmentation. To improve the quality of your skin, antioxidants and essential fatty acids form an important basis.
