Maintaining your skin is a delicate balance. Seasons, hormonal changes, stress, etc. can change your skin’s appearance and cause you to take a second look at your skin care practices or better yet, the foods you are eating to support your skin’s integrity. For optimal skin health, it is important to look beyond topical products and focus on creating a healthy glow from the inside out.
You Dew You®
You Dew You® features hibiscus flowers, burdock root, chaga mushroom, and cordyceps mushroom. These plants work in harmony to target inflammatory skin conditions at the root and can aid in sluggish digestion, which can contribute to poor skin health. Hibiscus is a beautiful purple-red flower that is often used for its high antioxidant content. As a result of its hue, hibiscus is rich in anthocyanins—which are thought to contain antioxidant benefits. Antioxidants fight free radicals produced by environmental factors (like cigarette smoke, ultraviolet radiation, and other air pollutants) to prevent cellular damage. This formula is a great option for those who are struggling with a troubled complexion and are looking to support their liver and digestive system to support a more balanced and even skin tone and texture.
Firm Believer™
Firm Believer™ is a great option for those looking to maintain their skin’s glow by boosting collagen production or targeting dry skin by boosting moisture retention. Herbs like camu camu, sea buckthorn, schisandra berry, and horsetail are packed with skin-protective nutrients like vitamin C, omegas, and antioxidants. These nutrients are building blocks for better skin., Vitamin C (often referred to as plant-based collagen) has been shown to increase collagen production within the body. Focusing on nutrients that aid your body in free radical removal from the inside out is a necessary step toward achieving healthy and radiant skin.
Mane Character™
Mane Character™ is a great option for those who need support with their hair, skin, nails, and other body tissues. For hair specifically, breakage, hair loss, thinning, or dullness are all great reasons to use this formula. Rich in nutrient-dense herbs like moringa, amla berry, horsetail, and tocotrienols, Mane Character™ works to support your hair's integrity through key nutrients like silica. Silica is found abundantly in horsetail and is key to supporting healthy connective tissues and collagen synthesis. Moringa is rich in protein, vitamins, calcium, potassium, zinc, iron, and more—all of which are necessary for building healthy hair. Combined with the benefits of Indian gooseberry (a.k.a. amla berries) which have been shown to act as a nutritive tonic, aiding in hair growth, this formula is sure to become a staple in your beauty routine.
Plump It Up™
This is a great herbal formula to pair with Mane Character™ due to its collagen content—a protein necessary to maintaining bouncy and strong hair, skin, and nail growth. When combined with the ingredients found in Mane Character™, Plump It Up™ offers a great way to boost your hair’s vitality and strength. The collagen in Plump It Up™ is bovine collagen derived from grass-fed cows and contains up to 90% protein. Bovine collagen contains an array of amino acids, which are essential for tissue health growth but can also be beneficial for supporting the integrity of the gut lining. Tocotrienols (tocos) are also found in this formula. Tocos are derived from bran rice solubles and are rich in vitamin E. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant known for its skin-revitalizing benefits. As discussed, antioxidants help reduce cell damage and studies have shown that oxidative stress can be linked to hair thinning, so antioxidants are a great addition to your routine to combat that.
