Skin Wellbeing and Beauty

The skin is the largest and heaviest organ in the body. It deserves just as much attention. Many small daily actions can help combat oxidative stress and the external aggressors we are exposed to every day.

• Drinking at least 1.5 liters of water a day contributes to skin suppleness and beauty.
• Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, based on fresh, organic products.
• For optimal results, nourish and protect your skin both externally with the daily application of suitable creams, and internally with skin supplements.
• Limit your exposure to ultraviolet rays (sun, tanning beds, etc.) and various environmental pollutants (pesticides, incense, air fresheners and scented candles, chemical cosmetic products, etc.).
• Quit smoking and drinking alcohol.
• Engage in regular, moderate physical activity to boost your body's antioxidant capacity and eliminate toxins and impurities from your skin.
• Manage stress, as chronic stress can increase sebum production and trigger breakouts and itching.

Dietary supplements or cosmetics?

Well, both! Cosmetics—all the creams, lotions, serums, masks, and other products applied to the skin—are the number one weapon for skincare. However, for optimal results, it's also essential to work from within, through proper hydration and a balanced diet.

The intake of certain nutrients, in particular, contributes to the beauty and well-being of the skin. These nutrients are partly obtained through diet, but some skin supplements contain essential elements to help protect the skin and slow down its aging process.

Certain vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients are known to contribute to healthy, beautiful skin. They can be found directly in food or in skin supplements.

The Importance of Antioxidants

Antioxidants are essential for beautiful, healthy skin, as they help combat oxidative stress. Cell oxidation is a natural process that plays a role in the aging of tissues, including the skin. This oxidation stems from an increase in free radicals, molecules produced in excess through smoking, stress, pollution, or excessive sun exposure, for example.

This accumulation creates an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them. This is where antioxidants come in, substances that reinforce the process of neutralizing free radicals.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C promotes the synthesis of collagen, the main protein component of the skin that contributes to its elasticity. It also has antioxidant properties, which combat skin aging. It is found, for example, in citrus fruits, blackcurrants, kiwis, cabbage, strawberries, fennel, spinach, and bell peppers, preferably eaten raw.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is also often included in dietary supplements for skin health because it helps maintain skin elasticity while protecting the lipids in the superficial layer of the epidermis from oxidation. It is found in foods such as kiwis, mangoes, avocados, fennel, salsify, peas, spinach, hazelnuts, and almonds.

Zinc

Zinc plays a key role in strengthening the immune system. It contributes to the beauty of skin and hair thanks to its antioxidant properties. It also helps reduce excess sebum and renew skin cells. To benefit from it, consume organ meats and red meat, for example.

Omega-3

Fatty acids are essential for skin elasticity and suppleness. They form a lipid cement between the cells of the superficial layer of the epidermis. Consequently, they reduce skin dryness by maintaining skin hydration. The main fatty acids include omega-3, 6, and 9, which you will find in vegetable oils (soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, evening primrose, borage, etc.) or oilseeds (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, chia seeds, etc.).

Other Antioxidants

There are other antioxidant nutrients often included in skin supplements, for example:

• Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It is found in fish and seafood, among other foods.
• Beta-carotene brightens the complexion, hydrates the skin, and helps renew dermal cells. It is found in carrots, apricots, mangoes, melons, and yellow peaches.
• Polyphenols are found in grapes, dark chocolate, artichokes, and other foods.

To benefit from all these essential elements in a ready-to-use solution, discover our dietary supplement for beautiful skin: Regederm. Thanks to its combination of powerful antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, it helps maintain skin comfort and suppleness.
