Get Your Essential Daily Vitamins and Minerals For Healthy Skin
Is It Hard To Get Essential Vitamins and Minerals For Healthy Skin?
Yes! Getting the proper amount of vitamins and minerals for healthy skin is a challenge for most skincare clients!
Everyone needs these essential nutrients – that’s easy to understand. Yet, most Americans don’t get everything they need in terms of nutrition for optimal skin health. That’s just a fact. Most Americans eat too much sugar, too much saturated fat, and do not exercise enough to ensure really good blood and lymphatic circulation. This leads to deficiencies in proper levels of vitamins and minerals and increases the amount of toxins which can end up causing inflammation.
Inflammaging Comes From Poor Skin Environment
When we did a webisode with Marc St. Onge from Bend Beauty we learned that Bend’s supplements are designed to help improve the skin’s environment to help combat inflammaging, which is, inflammation-related aging.
We can fight inflammaging in 3 ways:
- Eating foods that are good for skin health.
- Take Ingestible supplements.
- Use topical vitamin and mineral-rich skin care products.
