According to the latest research, these five will make a difference in the way you look to promote glowing youthful skin!

1.         THE SUPPLEMENT: Coenzyme Q10

            WHAT IT DOES: The body needs CoQ10 to combat several diseases and conditions related to aging. This antioxidant protects skin from oxidative stress and helps give cells the energy they need to repair themselves to make sure the skin cells are healthy. Just be sure to take it in the morning, since it can be as stimulating as caffeine.

2.         THE SUPPLEMENT: Evening Primrose Oil

            WHAT IT DOES: This omega-6 fatty acid helps your skin make ceramides to hold onto water more effectively. The strong antioxidant properties in this oil prevents free radical damage on the skin, which in turn helps prevent the formation or fine lines and wrinkles. Consider adding this oil to your moisturizer to make it anti-aging.

3.         THE SUPPLEMENT: Vitamin C

            WHAT IT DOES: Without this antioxidant, your body cannot make more collagen and even though it’s available in creams and serums, it’s much better absorbed by the body when taken orally. Vit c reduces skin damage, wrinkles and improves skin texture.

4.         THE SUPPLEMENT: Polypodium leucotomos (found in Heliocare pills)

            WHAT IT DOES: This powerful fern extract has been shown to protect skin from UV damage and works with your body to help maintain your skin’s ability to protect itself against free radicals. Take it especially on days you’ll be spending a lot of time outside. We live in a tropical climate with constant sun exposure so you can consider taking it on a daily basis.

5.         THE SUPPLEMENT: Fish or Flaxseed Oil

            WHAT IT DOES: Omega-3 fatty acids strengthen the skin’s barrier which keeps moisture and irritants out. They also help reduce inflammation and treat skin conditions like eczema. Take this and you will see your skin transform, feeling softer and smoother, aging more slowly and becoming less prone to wrinkling.
