top beauty nutrients we recommend for the best version of your skin

we always preach that nutrition meets beauty and taking the right supplements can help clear your skin from the inside out. we’ve spent time trying several different concoctions to create the perfect recipe for our skin, which at times needs to be altered. it’s important to know what your diet is lacking and what nutrients you’re deficient in to help determine which supplements are best suited for you. we’re sharing the ones that have personally transformed our skin (in such a way that we need them to function properly) and are also shown to be beneficial for all skin types

*there's no such thing as an overnight miracle, so please be patient with your supplements and take them on a consistent basis for a minimum of 30 days before judging the results*

the top beauty nutrients we recommend for the best version of your skin… 

collagen

we’ve witnessed a major change in our skin since committing to taking collagen on a daily basis. as you age, your collagen production slows down (stopping altogether in your 40’s), leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, bone loss, etc. it’s basically the glue that holds your body together and the key to maintaining youthful skin. if you’re over 25, it’s critical you incorporate this supplement into your diet

zinc

zinc is considered the #1 natural remedy for acne due to its ability to control inflammation and reduce the effect of bacteria on the skin, making it the go-to vitamin for fighting and preventing breakouts. it’s also a DHT blocker, meaning it reduces the effect hormones have on the skin, which helps keep oil production at a happy-medium

daily cleanse by HUM

the heavy hitters in this particular supplement are: spirulina (also a freshwater algae) + chlorella + zinc (mentioned above). this supplement combines the best of both worlds. it works to detoxify as well as control inflammation & oil production, making it an absolute must for anyone suffering from hormonal acne or rosacea. you may experience a purge in the beginning (although this wasn’t the case for us), but once you get past that stage, you’ll be on your way to a clearer complexion. it also helps speed up healing time if a blemish or cyst pops up

pre+probiotic by HUM

when you fix your gut, your skin issues follow suit. whatever’s happening on the surface is a direct reflection of your gut health. probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts- the good kind. the idea of probiotics is to balance the good and bad bacteria. they also work wonders when it comes to the digestive system. when food is not being digested properly, your system becomes backed up with toxins from the rotting food setting up shop in the intestinal walls. when this happens, it prevents healthy nutrient absorption and waste elimination. eczema, acne, and rashes are all signs of a possible intestinal problem

neem

a few months ago, i self-diagnosed myself with perioral dermatitis. although i suffer from rosacea, which is believed to act similarly, this was more itchy and even more red than usual. after doing some research, i first tried switching toothpaste as there's believed to be a connection between cinnamon flavor and whitening toothpastes. while this made a small improvement, the biggest difference started after incorporating neem. it's antibacterial and antimicrobial and one of the best Ayurvedic herbs for skin health. i take two capsules with my first meal and two with dinner and have never looked back *do not take if trying to conceive*

D3

vitamin D is one of the most common deficiencies, especially if you’re a paranoid aging freak and always stay out of the sun like we do. it’s an extremely important nutrient that has powerful effects on several systems throughout your body. from keeping your immune system strong to regulating hormones and boosting energy levels, this supplement provides countless benefits

vitamin c + hyaluronic acid (glow sweet glow by HUM)

warning these gummies are highly addicting. this tasty chewable contains hyaluronic acid, a powerful moisture-binding acid that can hold 1,000x its weight in water to restore & replenish the skin as well as active antioxidants vitamins C & E to prevent free radical damage. antioxidants are the bodies greatest defense mechanism against premature aging and chronic diseases. the more you have in your system, the more equipped your body is
