The health of the skin depends 80% on what we eat and 20% on external factors . Diet therefore plays a key role in maintaining the quality and beauty of the skin. A recent discovery that is shaking up the cosmetics market with the arrival of a new category of products: food supplements. Who are they, how do they act and which ones to choose to have beautiful skin? Discover the underside of this new beauty gesture.

What is a food supplement?

A food supplement is a foodstuff concentrated in active substances which constitute an additional nutritional contribution for the organism (National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety - ANSES).

Depending on their composition, their dosage or their mode of intake, food supplements can fill potential deficiencies or strengthen certain functions of the body. They are found in different forms: liquid extracts, capsules, tablets, powders or even gummies, these little colorful jelly candies that flourish on the consumer and selective beauty shelves.

If their use is rather common in the sectors of health and sports performance, they are also proving to be real allies for taking care of the skin. For what ? How do they actually act?

In an ideal world, food should be enough to provide the body with the nutrients it needs. The reality is not so simple and it is not rare that the nutritional contributions do not cover the physiological needs specific to each one. Indeed, at present, foods, even organic ones, are increasingly poor in nutrients and, conversely, the body needs them more and more to fight against the oxidative stress generated by the rhythm of life. unbridled and the various pollutions to which it is exposed.

Deficiencies can jeopardize the proper functioning of our systems, and the skin, like any organ, is no exception to this rule. By providing the necessary micronutrients directly to our cells via the bloodstream, food supplements can help correct certain imbalances that cause skin problems.

You are probably wondering which ones to choose to have beautiful skin? To each problem its solution.
