We are huge advocates for a holistic approach to ageing. A 360 approach that combines elements of skincare, treatment, lifestyle choices and nutrition will always be the best approach to keeping the skin healthy.
Your older self will thank you for being proactive at an earlier age to help form the best foundation for healthy-looking, glowing skin. Every hour, our body is making 200 million skin cells, so it is important that we are feeding our future skin with a healthy diet packed with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Supplements can play a key role to achieve 50% feed but you should also incorporate 50% topical to support skin health and overall wellbeing.
All ages: Where should you start?
Probiotics should not be underestimated and Advanced Nutrition Programme (ANP) have skin-friendly bacteria formulas should be an essential start for your supplement routine regardless of age. This helps nurture the gut and skin – as research suggests skin is a reflection of gut health and is closely linked to the appearance of our skin.
