If you’re going to be taking skin care seriously and working on building collagen (which is what my treatments do as different forms of Collagen Induction Therapy) these are 3 staples that need to be in your daily routine.
They work on: 1) protecting the skin barrier, 2) helping the body to build more collagen and 3) increasing hydration levels in the skin.
*I am not affiliated with any of these brands and am not suggesting them solely. If you have a particular brand that you know works well for your body then go with that.
OMEGA 3’s
1. Hydration and barrier function by reducing water loss (TEWL) and protecting skin from external aggressors such as pollution, UV rays and oxidative stress. The skin becomes more supple, better hydrated and less prone to dryness.
2. Anti-inflammatory properties beneficial to those prone to redness or sensitive skin and conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
3. Key player in production of collagen.
Best taken at nighttime with a meal.
VITAMIN C POWDER
1. Highly effective antioxidant to neutralise free radicals that can cause damage to your skin from things such as UV exposure, pollutants and oxidative stress.
2. It is the building block of Collagen and strengthens existing collagen.
3. It helps in maintaining skin health by contributing to its strength, elasticity and hydration. This also helps in reducing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles and enhances radiance in the skin.
Best taken 30 minutes before or after food in the morning. Can also take again in the afternoon if your stomach isn’t sensitive.
FOOD GRADE GELATIN (my alternative to collagen supplements)
1. An anti inflammatory powerhouse which helps to improve the gut and builds Collagen.
2. Can help with sleep at nighttime. Better quality BEAUTY sleep.
3. Helps combat ageing, increases hydration, improves skin elasticity.
I mix mine with hot water and pomegranate juice.
Consistency is key!
Next week I’ll do one on foods I recommend.
I find this cheaper and more effective than collagen supplements
