FOR YOUTHFUL & HEALTHY SKIN: Top Tips from Expert Nutritionists

We asked our top Health Nutrition Experts some Q&A’s about what they recommend to help support your daily anti-aging routine and promote good skin health…

Q1 How do I avoid dry, dull skin in winter?

You can follow simple lifestyle factors to care for your skin in winter. A brisk walk in the morning can help to improve blood flow and give your skin a glow that lasts all day. Moisturising your skin is essential to keep it hydrated and healthy. Take warm or cold showers, and avoid long, hot baths, as these can dry the skin. Add Omega-3’s from Krill Oil into your diet as these fatty acids can secure the skin’s moisture, helping it to feel smoother, softer and more hydrated.

Q2 What do you recommend to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?

Clinical studies show that taking BioCell Collagen®, as found in Good Health Naturally’s Joint & Skin Matrix™, significantly decreased facial lines and wrinkles in 12 weeks. The naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid in BioCell Collagen® also helps to lock in the skin’s moisture, keeping it firm and plump and reducing the visible signs of aging.

Q3 How do I reduce my chances of getting cold sores this winter?

Strengthening your immune system is essential as a first step. Helpful nutrients include Olive Leaf Extract, D3, and Vitamin C. Protecting your lips from the cold and wind with a nourishing and natural lip balm is also beneficial. Opt for a lip balm with lysine, which has been found to help protect against cold sores and aid healing should they break out.

Q4 Is it true that women going through menopause produce less collagen?

Studies show that women’s skin loses about 30% of its collagen during the first five years of menopause. Vitamin C is beneficial for collagen production alongside the intake of type 2 collagen peptides from BioCell Collagen®. With topical melatonin products, women can also support healthy skin aging and protect against collagen degradation. Research shows that melatonin has antioxidant and UV protection benefits and topical use can help skin tone, hydration, roughness, and appearance.

Q5 – Is Astaxanthin beneficial for reducing Eczema symptoms?

Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant, and studies show it can benefit skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce flare-ups and symptoms like swelling, redness and itching.
