Our skin, hair and nails bear the brunt of harsh external environmental damage and are often the first to show signs of an internal imbalance. While topical skincare can offer support and protection from the elements, nourishing our skin form the inside out can provide support for long term skin health.
Collagen is probably the most talked about nutrient in terms of beauty supplements these days. Collagen is the structural matrix that makes up our skin, hair, nails and connective tissues. It makes sense to replenish this because as we age our natural collagen production declines.
Nutrients that can support the health of skin, hair and nails:
- Vitamins and minerals
- Antioxidants Hyaluronic acid
- Essential fatty acids
- Herbs
- And of course collagen for skin
Hyaluronic acid is a nutrient that can absorb up to 1000 times its own weight in water, a super hydrator! Hydration means lubrication and can therefore support the movement of joints but in terms of skin, it can support hydration and plumping.
At Healthpost we stock a large range of beauty supplements carefully selected to support a healthy you. After all a healthy inside is reflected on the outside.
