Vitamins and the Skin

Could a vitamin a day keep the wrinkles away? It’s hard to eat nutrient-rich food all the time, so supplements are a great way to “check that box.”

Vitamin A and other nutrients are at the core of the Environ philosophy. It is important to consider how the body is receiving vitamins on a daily basis, for example through a colorful diet, nutrient-rich topical products, or skin-friendly supplements.

There are many companies that have come out with skin-care-friendly supplement packs. We’re proud to say we have recently partnered with Jane Iredale’s vitamin offerings for a few reasons. We believe in the company’s philosophy, research basis, and results.

In this blog, we’ll talk about general vitamin compounds that are ideal for skincare and about the different formulas created by Jane Iredale. Let’s dive in!

Which Vitamins Support The Skin Again?

The Environ Skincare philosophy is symbiotic with the philosophy used in Jane Iredale supplements. Vitamins A, C, E, antioxidants, peptides, and other powerful skin-supportive compounds are used to internally support the look of beautiful skin. Just as we want to nourish and protect the skin from the outside, we want to do the same from the inside.

Here are three critical elements that are found in various skin-friendly formulas:

Green Tea and Dark-colored Fruits | Skin Antioxidant – Jane Iredale vitamins with this formula will include seven super-antioxidant phytonutrients found in plants to help fight free radicals, reducing environmental stress on the skin.

Orange Fruits and Green, Leafy Vegetables | Skin Vitamin A – Contains vitamin A, the antiaging vitamin, to help maintain healthy skin, balance oil and moisture, and aid normal cell production and repair throughout the body.

Fish and Nuts | Skin Omegas – Contains omega-3 from fish oil and omega-6 from evening primrose to help moisturize skin and maintain skin integrity and a healthy lipid layer. AKA- promoting the look of hydrated skin.

Skin Accumax

Ah, problematic skin. From what we already know about the skin and precipitating factors for problematic skin concerns (excess sebum, hormonal imbalances, bacteria, internal and environmental toxins), addressing what goes into the body is just as critical as what we apply on top of it. In this formulation, Vitamins A, C, and E, and phytonutrients support all areas of the body and work to clarify the look of the complexion. One such phytonutrient is Diinodolylmethane, a compound identified in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli! Environ users know it’s always important to fill our bodies with a rainbow of fruits and vegetables. And supplements can help us obtain those critical elements as well.

While Skin Accumax is designed for non-cystic acne or problematic skin types, you may use this supplement type if you have normal skin. There are other types that may suit you better though. Keep reading!

Skin Collagen Support

For many skincare enthusiasts, we seek to keep the skin looking and feeling healthy. That often means seeking to minimize the appearance of fine lines. Some may also seek to address scarring. Collagen is one important element that allows the skin to stay plump and youthful over time. Collagen is what tends to break, weaken, and more slowly develop as we age, hence the importance of getting it internally.

With Skin Collagen Support supplements, your skin will receive skin-supportive ingredients like Vitamin C and grape seed extract which help build, activate, and protect the collagen and elastin in your skin to improve the overall look. Zinc is a well-known element contributing to bodily health and is also shown to contribute to play a protective role to enhance the stability of collagen fibers, helping to shield them from oxidative stress. Sulfur and melon-derived antioxidant enzymes also help enhance the skin’s ability to repair and fight inflammation; they are also included in the Skin Collagen Support supplement.

Best for those exposed to pollution, stress, UV rays, and restricted diets, this powerful skincare supplement has been shown to increase skin elasticity and smoothness while decreasing wrinkle depth.

Skin Omegas

Hydrated-looking skin is a concern for many. As we recommend diligently protecting the outer skin with moisture elements, we also recommend an “internal” moisturizer as well. Omega 3 fatty acids are established elements with many benefits including promoting hydrated-looking skin. “Good fats” are a vital part of a balanced diet. Because Omega-3 is anti-inflammatory, all skin types can benefit, but especially dry, sensitive, and acneic skin. The Skin Omega supplement also includes calming evening primrose oil and powerful Vitamin A (Environ users are well versed in the benefits of this skin-care-friendly vitamin). These supplements showed improved hydrated up to 40% in one study. It also showed to improve smoothness and wrinkle depth.

Not suitable for those taking anticoagulant medication such as heparin, or warfarin (Coumadin®); consult a doctor before taking Skin Omegas.

Skin Youth Biome

Science is improving every day in finding out connections between the gut and the skin. The Skin Youth Biome formula is an advanced nutrition delivery system to support your gut. Containing billions of gut-friendly bacteria this microbiome technology targets the seven visible signs of aging: fine lines, wrinkles, elasticity, uneven skin tone, dullness, dryness, and thinning skin. The supplement contains six skin-friendly bacteria (including two new postbiotic compounds) and Vitamin C for overall youthful-looking and feeling radiant skin.

This supplement does contain dairy and soy; not suitable for vegans.*

Skin Ultimate (Skin, Hair, Nails)

Skin Ultimate is a nutritional supplement that unites many of the ingredients already discussed above: antioxidants, Vitamin A, and Omega-3, in addition to Skin Asta Boost and Skin CoQ10. This super-nutrient solution nourishes, hydrate and protect skin, hair, and nails. This supplement is Ideal for all skin types especially aging skin, thinning hair, and brittle nails.

Skin Complete

Just as Environ users know Vitamin A in combination with Vitamins C, and E, antioxidants, and peptides are at the heart of holistic skin care moisturization and care, the Skin Complete supplement targets the use of powerful Vitamin A (combined with Vitamin D) and antioxidants, two well-known skin-supporting elements.

Skin Antioxidant – Skin Antioxidant is formulated with seven super antioxidant phytonutrients found in plants. The skin is bombarded with damaging free radicals day and night; everything from airborne toxins to any source of light, including your computer screen. Antioxidants help to protect and repair the skin, which keeps it looking younger for longer. The phytonutrients in Skin antioxidants are especially effective since they are enhanced with beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A.

Skin Vitamin A – Skin Vitamin A contains vitamin A enriched with vitamin D. Vitamin A is important to cell production and growth. It also stimulates the cells responsible for the skin’s firm and healthy tissue and so is known as the anti-aging vitamin. Vitamin D optimizes the skin’s immune system and helps to destroy free radicals that can cause premature aging.

By supplementing with Skin Vitamin A, you will help nourish your skin from the inside. Each capsule contains optimum levels in an easily absorbable form.

Support from the Inside Out

Taking what we know of supporting the skin from the outside can help us support it from what we ingest as well. Working from the inside out in addition to taking care of the outer layer of skin is a two-punch solution for lifelong, radiant, youthful skin.
