SUPPORT WITH BEAUTY SUPPLEMENTS
You take multivitamins and other health foods to help your body function better and make up for what’s lacking – your skin deserves the same kind of care.
Like health supplements, there are now skin supplements for just about every sort of beauty concern and need, whether it’s sun protection, skin brightening, lack of firmness, fatigue, panda eyes or even breath and body odour.
Health and wellness supplement brand LAC, for instance, offers tablet supplements of French pine bark extract, which is said to be a rich source of antioxidants. Besides countering free radical damage that cause premature ageing, it’s supposedly an immunity booster too.
Some supplements deal with more specific problem areas, like Ceramiracle’s Flowerberry Eye Illuminating Supplement. Packed with ingredients like chrysanthemum, goji berry, lutein (said to protect against blue light), and carotenoid-rich kale (which promotes healthy vision), it delivers the exact sort of nutrients needed by puffy, shadowed, dry and tired peepers that have had excessive exposure to digital devices.
Even companies that don’t traditionally offer supplements have added them to their line-up – a sign of how prevalent the practice of eating your way to beauty has become. Korean express facial chain Skingo! is one such player, having introduced its own oral supplement that delivers both UV protection and whitening effects.
