What supplements should I be taking if my skin is ageing?

Ageing is what I get asked the most about, not just by clients but friends and family too. “What can I do to stop my skin ageing?” or "How do I stop looking older?” My answer to both questions would be use a moisturiser with high levels of Vitamin A, every single day. And also take supplements! As I’ve discussed in previous blogs you just do not get enough nutrition from your diet to feed your skin – you need to be taking supplements to see a visible difference and whilst Vitamin A topically is going to be giving you great results; supplements are going to be making that long term, dramatic change.

 

In terms of what supplements, I could recommend for anti-ageing, I could list out every single one! In this blog I’ve recommended my top 3 however I’ve included a couple of different options below as well.

• Limited budget? Skin Complete

 

 

• Want bigger and better results whilst also combating ageing? Skincare Ultimate

 

 

• Want anti-ageing results but using vitamin A at home? Skin Collagen Plus and Skin Omegas

 

 

 

 

• Already using Vitamin A in your home routine and want anti-ageing results? Skin Collagen Plus, Omegas and Skin Vit A

 

 

 

 

 

 

Out of all the routine I would say that the last one is by ultimate one. The addition of the Vitamin A internally really helps to boost your skincare routine and allows you to move up to higher levels of vitamin A topically as well. In addition by feeding your dermis with Vitamin A every single day, you will help to kick start your collagen and elastin.

What supplements should I be taking for anti-ageing?

As mentioned above I will be going thoroughly my ultimate routine for anti-ageing supplementation below which includes 

• Vitamin A (anti-ageing and allows to move up to higher levels of vitamin A topically)
• Skin Collagen Plus (Collagen Support and Skin Vit C) (great for kickstarting your collagen and elastin and also the Vitamin C allows you to absorb the Collagen Support whilst also dealing with pigmentation – accounts for up 20 years of perceived age)
• Skin Omegas (amazing for hydration and plumping)
