After all, your skin is a big part of what makes you, you. Beauty boutiques are stocked with moisturizers, masks and other products promising to rejuvenate your skin. But these surface treatments don&#8217;t nourish what lies beneath. Skin-friendly foods and supplements are the best foundation to bring out your skin\u2019s natural inner glow.\u00a0 \u00a0Borage with SaffronBorage oil is one of the best sources of gamma linolenic acid (GLA), a kind of fatty acid that helps bolster your skin\u2019s barrier function. Imagine your outermost layer of skin as a wall with tough skin cells that are glued together by lipids (fats). This wall seals moisture in and keeps harmful elements like allergens and chemicals out.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fatty acids like GLA help maintain this barrier\u2019s integrity by replenishing the lipids that hold it together.1 When your barrier function is working well, your skin is firm and hydrated. When it\u2019s not, it becomes irritated and dry, which translates to flaky, wrinkled and prematurely aged skin. When you combine saffron&#8217;s antioxidant compounds with borage oil, it works even better, protecting against cellular damage to give you a brighter glow.\u00a0\u00a0Skin ProbioticEver notice that when your digestion is off, your skin appears a little dull too? Your gut is communicating with you. Skin is a reflection of what&#8217;s happening inside your body. Stress, diet and lifestyle habits can alter gut microbiota and disrupt your skin\u2019s appearance. Probiotics from fermented foods and in supplements encourage the good bacteria in your gut to thrive and absorb vital nutrients your skin needs. L. paracasei, for example, works to boost hydration.2\u00a0Other bacterial strains support other areas, so the greater the variety of healthy strains, the better.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Omega-3 with BioCurcIf you\u2019ve been avoiding fish oils because of the taste or smell, you may want to reconsider. Fish oil contains omega-3s, essential fatty acids that offer powerful benefits for your skin. It supports your skin barrier, influences your skin\u2019s hydration levels and helps protect you against sun damage. These properties make omega-3s one of the best nutrients you can get for preventing dry, dull skin and the appearance of early aging. When partnered with curcumin\u2019s antioxidant properties, omega-3s work overtime to promote a healthy inflammatory response and a radiant complexion. 3\u00a0\u00a0Pro Tip: Store your fish oil in the fridge to help reduce the taste and smell.\u00a0\u00a0AstaxanthinAstaxanthin (asta-ZAN-thin): This hard-to-pronounce carotenoid\u2014known for giving salmon and lobster their lovely shade of pink and red\u2014is truly an all-star when it comes to skin protection. It&#8217;s considered 10x stronger than other carotenoids, delivering more antioxidant power than vitamins C and E to reduce cellular damage,4 helping to prevent wrinkles and other signs of premature aging.\u00a0\u00a0 Beauty Duo (Beauty wake + Beauty sleep)Dewy, glistening skin is a thing of dreams, but the perfect blend of collagen and sodium hyaluronate just might make your dreams come true. Both ingredients are vital in skin care.\u00a0\u00a0Collagen, the most abundant protein in your body, plays a key role in maintaining your skin\u2019s strength and elasticity.5 As you age, your collagen production slows down, causing skin to lose firmness and moisture. \u00a0Sodium hyaluronate is a water-soluble salt derived from hyaluronic acid. It\u2019s a humectant, meaning it acts like a sponge to regulate and pull moisture in from the atmosphere and inner layers of your skin to hydrate your outer layer.\u00a0\u00a0Persona\u2019s beauty duo supplements combine these two essential nutrients to slow the breakdown of collagen, boost skin moisture and promote a radiant\u00a0complexion.\u00a0\u00a0Vitamin CVitamin C is a key ingredient in skin care products for good reason. Found at high levels in both the outer and inner layer of the skin, it\u2019s one of the few vitamins that have antioxidant properties to help skin fight against damage caused by the sun and pollution. It also plays an essential role in supporting your body\u2019s natural production of collagen for stronger, healthier skin.6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Need help with supplements?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0When it comes to supplements for skin health, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
