Dermatologists and plastic surgeons want to treat the skin from the outside only, but working from the inside-out is the only way to do 100% to fight the visible signs of aging including fine lines and wrinkles. Nourishing what we can’t see below the surface has a dramatic impact on what we see above the surface. It\u2019s this half of the battle that many women (and men) forget.\u00a0 Are you doing everything you can do?<\/p>\n

There is rapidly growing interest in foods and dietary supplements that support healthier, better-looking skin, hair and nails for an \u201cinside-out makeover\u201d that doesn\u2019t rely on wrinkle creams. Because this is an exciting new field of research, I\u2019m often asked what the best dietary ingredients are for younger-looking skin, hair, and nails.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite ingredients based on medical research\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

Astaxanthin<\/strong> \u2013 Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant found in blue-green algae. By protecting against photodamage from exposure to sunlight, astaxanthin might support smoother and firmer appearing skin.<\/p>\n

Cocoa extract<\/strong> \u2013 Cocoa is rich in antioxidants and has been shown to have multiple benefits for the skin, including the support of firmer, smoother looking skin.<\/p>\n

Coenzyme Q10<\/strong> \u2013 dietary intake of coenzyme Q10 has been reported to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.\u00a0 The benefits of coenzyme Q10 for skin appearance are likely due to multiple mechanisms of action including support of skin cell antioxidant health and support of the skin\u2019s underlying foundation.<\/p>\n

Green-tea extract<\/strong> \u2013 Green tea contains a number of antioxidant phytochemicals including epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).\u00a0 It has been reported that green tea might support normal DNA health.<\/p>\n

Lutein<\/strong> \u2013 lutein, found naturally in spinach, is important for good eye health.\u00a0 In addition to its important role in vision support, recent studies suggest that the antioxidant properties of lutein may support good skin health.<\/p>\n

Lycopene<\/strong> \u2013 lycopene is a red plant pigment with antioxidant properties. Lycopene has been shown to support a healthier looking skin color.\u00a0 Tomatoes, watermelons, and pink grapefruits are all good sources of lycopene.<\/p>\n

Olive Fruits<\/strong> \u2013 olives are rich in a number of active phytochemicals.\u00a0 Clinical research suggests that olive fruit extracts might promote antioxidant health and improve the appearance of aging.<\/p>\n

Soy<\/strong> \u2013 both the protein and the isoflavones, have been used in numerous topical skin care products for years now. Recent studies have suggested that soy consumption might support healthier-looking skin, hair and nails by supplying high-quality protein and antioxidants needed for building and maintaining the appearance of such tissues.<\/p>\n

Tocotrienols<\/strong> \u2013 Tocotrienols are a specific and potent form of vitamin E, a natural antioxidant.\u00a0 A combination of tocotrienols and astaxanthin has been reported to reduce appearance of fine wrinkles and discolorations while moisturizing the skin.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C<\/strong> \u2013 in addition to its antioxidant properties, which have been reported to support normal skin health, Vitamin C is very important for normal collagen metabolism.\u00a0 Many fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C.<\/p>\n

Remember that our true beauty starts inside!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
