Skincare lovers know the importance of beauty from within, despite having a cabinet full of serums and face creams. One of the biggest contributors to glowing and youthful skin is collagen, which – as we age – decreases in production, resulting in many taking collagen supplements to slow down the signs of aging.
I am at the forefront of an emerging trend that’s transforming the beauty industry: Edible skincare.
For years, I’ve emphasized the importance of holistic beauty and nourishing skin from within. I’ll share insights on how ingestible skincare products can deliver a glow that goes beyond topical treatments.
Edible Skincare
Beauty isn’t just skin-deep. Our skin’s health is impacted by what we put in our bodies just as much as what we apply to our faces. Edible skincare taps into this concept by delivering powerful ingredients like collagen, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid directly to the body, allowing for faster and more effective absorption.
As we age, our body’s collagen production decreases, leading to visible signs of aging. Edible skincare supplements replenish these essential nutrients from within, potentially creating longer-lasting effects than traditional creams and serums.
Key ingredients to watch
There are several ingredients in the edible skincare market, each known for unique skin benefits:
- Avocado Oil for hydration and softness.
- Evening Primrose Oil for soothing irritation.
- Cinnamon for its natural skin-softening properties.
- Orange for a radiant glow.
Each ingredient has been selected for its ability to support skin health from the inside out. By ingesting these nutrients, we nourish our skin at a cellular level.
