When it comes to keeping pretty, we douse ourselves in skincare and layer on the makeup. But in the quest for perfect beauty, did we ever think to swallow?
Digestible beauty is going to be big business in 2017, with more edible beauty brands emerging and a wider variety of supplements hitting the shelves. There will be something for everyone, so let the eating commence!
One of the biggest beauty supplement brands in the game is Imedeen. The brand's supplements cover every aspect of beauty, including hair and nails, however the two stand out products are Time Perfection and Derma One.
The Time Perfection capsules are anti-agers designed to help skin look younger, improve skin quality and balance moisture levels. They contain Imedeen's exclusive Marine Complex (a protein and polysaccharide complex containing elements that mirror those found in skin), LycoPhenceGS® Forte Vitamin C and Zinc. These ingredient work together to fight free-radical damage, support normal DNA synthesis and collagen production. Prices start at £44.99 / $77.00.
If you're less concerned about anti-aging, I would recommend the Derma One supplements. Designed to blessed you with healthy skin, the Derma One supplements contain similar ingredients to those in Time Perfection, minus a few hardcore anti-ageing ingredients that only women 40+ should be fucking with. Prices start at £37.99 / $65.00.
If you're someone who struggles staying on top of your supplement game, I would recommend Vitabox. Designed to support overall body health, the Vitabox is a one month supply box containing four key supplements you should be swallowing on a daily basis. These include Omega 3,6,9 - the most essential fatty acids for a healthy heart and muscles, Green Tea - a powerful natural antioxidant which helps maintain a healthy metabolism, Multivitamins - that support cardiac, circulatory, digestive, immune and mental health and Co-Enzyme Q10 - that helps your body to produce energy. A one-off Vitabox is £28.99, however if you sign up to a monthly subscription service, each box will cost £25.99.
If you have a hard time pill popping, I would recommend liquid supplements. Image Skincare recently launched YANA, a beauty liquid designed to rebuild and strengthen the skin by boosting the body’s natural collagen production. Not only is YANA easy to swallow, it tastes great! You can also take it alone or mix it with smoothies, teas or mocktails.
YANA has a unique formula made up of hydrolysed collagen peptides, phytoceramides, biotin, ultra-nutraceutical antioxidant blend and pyridoxine HCL. These ingredients make YANA a real anti-aging hero, improving hydration, pore size, skin elasticity and fine lines and wrinkles. In fact, the innovative beauty liquid has been clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by 63%. Prices start at £99.00 / $99.00.
The most important thing to remember is that, whatever your beauty drug of choice, you need to start swallowing. After all, beauty starts from within...
