Skincare supplements

Why use a food supplement for the skin?

Our skin is a reflection of our inner well-being, and yet it undergoes numerous stresses on a daily basis. Between climate change, pollution, stress, fatigue, nutritional deficiencies and certain hormonal imbalances, the skin can lose its radiance and vitality. These factors can lead to skin dryness, loss of firmness, as well as redness, pimples or chronic irritations such as dermatitis, eczema or rosacea.

The benefits of food supplements for the skin

Food supplements for the skin are specially formulated to work from the inside out, providing the epidermis with the essential nutrients it needs to regenerate and maintain its radiance. They especially help to:

• Maintain a good nutritional balance by providing the micronutrients, fatty acids and antioxidants essential for healthy skin.

• Preserve the skin's youthful appearance by delaying the signs of ageing thanks to active ingredients that improve skin elasticity and hydration.

• Improve the skin's resistance to external damage by supporting its protective barrier.

• Combat blemishes and purify the skin by regulating excess sebum with detoxifying active ingredients.

• Promote healing and soothe sensitive skin thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of certain nutrients and probiotics, known to relieve skin prone to redness and allergies.

What nutrients does my skin need?

The skin is made up largely of water, but also lipids, proteins, minerals and vitamins, which play a fundamental role in its elasticity, radiance and ability to regenerate. An imbalance or deficiency in some of these nutrients can lead to skin dryness, loss of firmness, blemishes and premature ageing.

Key nutrients include

• Antioxidants, such as vitamin C, which helps combat the oxidative stress responsible for skin ageing, while stimulating collagen production.

• Essential fatty acids, such as Omega-3, which help strengthen the skin barrier, soothe sensitive skin and maintain good hydration.

• Peptides and proteins, such as collagen, which play a key role in skin firmness and elasticity, but whose production declines with age.

• Probiotics, which help balance the skin's microbiota, helping to regulate inflammation and reduce blemishes.

• Essential micronutrients, such as zinc, which helps with healing and sebum regulation, and silicone, which strengthens the skin's structure and promotes cell regeneration.

A good balance of these nutrients, combined with a varied diet and an appropriate skincare routine, helps to keep skin radiant, healthy and resistant to external damage.

How do you choose the right food supplement for your skin?

The choice of food supplement depends on the type of skin and its specific needs:

Dry and sensitive skin

Choosehyaluronic acid, omega-3 and marine collagen to nourish and strengthen the skin barrier.

Mature skin

Opt for our organic Collagen Booster, vitamin C and astaxanthin to combat wrinkles and loss of firmness.

Acne-prone or oily skin

Our Clear Skin Complex helps to regulate sebum and purify the skin. Enriched brewer's yeast is also beneficial for strengthening skin and nails.

Skin prone to redness

Anti-inflammatory active ingredients such as omega-3 and certain probiotics can soothe irritation and strengthen the skin against external damage.

Food supplements come in a variety of forms: capsules, tablets, dilutable powders… Choose the form best suited to your lifestyle and skincare routine.

How do you incorporate skin supplements into your skincare routine?

The effectiveness of food supplements for the skin depends on regular use in combination with other skin care products.

Dosage and method of use

The effectiveness of food supplements for the skin depends on how regularly they are used and when they are taken. In general, supplements rich in antioxidants and vitamins (such as vitamin C or astaxanthin) are recommended in the morning, to help the skin defend itself against the day's external damage (pollution, UV rays, oxidative stress).

For restorative and regenerating nutrients such as collagen or hyaluronic acid, taking them in the evening before bed is ideal, as it is during the night that the skin actively regenerates itself.

Some supplements, such as omega-3 or probiotics, are better absorbed with a meal, while others, such as detoxifiers and clear skin complexes, can be taken on an empty stomach in the morning to optimise their purifying effects.

It is essential to follow the dosage recommendations indicated on each product and to take them regularly over multiple weeks to see lasting results. A course of treatment lasting 1 to 3 months is often recommended, depending on the skin's needs and the season.

Finally, remember to combine these supplements with good daily hydration, as water plays a key role in absorbing nutrients and maintaining healthy skin.

Possible combinations

Combining certain food supplements can enhance their benefits for the skin by acting in a complementary way.

• Hyaluronic acid and vitamin C: known for its plumping, moisturising effect, hyaluronic acid works in synergy with vitamin C, which stimulates collagen production and protects the skin from oxidative stress. This combination is ideal for improving skin elasticity and restoring its natural radiance.

• Collagen and omega-3: collagen is essential for skin firmness and suppleness, but to be effective, it needs an environment rich in essential fatty acids such as omega-3. These strengthen the skin barrier, prevent dryness and optimise tissue regeneration. This combination is perfect for keeping skin nourished and plump.

• Zinc and probiotics: zinc is renowned for its purifying and soothing effects on skin prone to blemishes. Combined with probiotics, which help to balance the intestinal and cutaneous microbiome, it helps to reduce breakouts and promote a clearer complexion. This combination is ideal for skin prone to acne or redness.

For radiant, hydrated skin, you can also combine internal supplements with a cosmetic routine using serums, oils and creams rich in nourishing active ingredients.

Be careful to follow the recommendations for each supplement and combine them smartly.

Precautions for use

Food supplements are an excellent way to support your skin, provided you use them in moderation and according to the recommendations. Follow the recommended doses, as an excess of certain nutrients, such as vitamin C or zinc, can sometimes cause slight digestive discomfort.

If you are undergoing medical treatment, particularly for circulatory problems, seek the advice of a health professional before combining supplements such as omega-3. Finally, if you have any particular sensitivities, it's always best to observe how your skin reacts when you take it for the first time.
