Summer is the time of year, when your skin is most exposed - and many of us strive for a natural and healthy look - preferably with a hint of glow and tan. Below we have listed a number of natural nutrients that science has shown support healthy skin.

INSIDE & OUT
Healthy and strong skin requires work for most of us - and by "work" we mean support through the right diet, skincare routine and plenty of water. If you want effective results it is important that you not only invest in expensive serums and work with the skin on the outside - but also from the inside. Do you know the 80/20 rule? This tells us that the condition of your skin is 80% based on your diet and nutrition, and 20% based on your skincare routine... Beauty from within in no joke;)

• VITAMIN A: It is scientifically proven that Vitamin A supports healthy skin. Vitamin A contributes to the growth and maintenance of the epidermis. In addition, vitamin A has an effect on problem skin, sun-damaged skin, pigmentation and fine lines. For many years it has been popular to incorporate Vitamin A in both supplements and in skin care products. In skincare products you will find Vitamin A in the form of Retinol and when it comes to supplements, look for Beta-Carotene, which is a precursor to Vitamin A that cannot accumulate in the body and therefore safer to take.
• VITAMIN E: A powerful antioxidant that helps your body keeping cells healthy. Keeping the cells healthy and strong, will automatically delay signs of aging and therefore also support a healthy skin. Antioxidants are true health heroes!
• VITAMIN C: Vitamin C is actually also considered a strong antioxidant, but in addition vitamin C also contributes to a well-functioning collagen production. Therefore, it is also always recommended that your collagen supplement is taken with vitamin C for optimum effect.
• ANTIOXIDANTS: As mentioned above - they combat free radicals and keeps cells healthy and strong. The free radicals are often to blame for early signs of aging in the form of fine lines and collagen breakdown. Most people associate antioxidants with dark red berries or red pepper, which are naturally rich in antioxidants, BUT vitamin C, resveratrol, alpha lipoid acid, Q10, grape seed extract and green coffee beans are also SUPER good examples of strong antioxidants.
• COLLAGEN POWDER:  Collagen is a very natural part of your connective tissue - in fact, a VERY big part. Over time, our own natural production of collagen decreases, which is why our skin loses firmness with age. If you add collagen to your diet, you can support your own production and slow down the signs of aging.
• HYALURONIC ACID: Hyaluronic acid is able to bind water 1000 x its own weight and is therefore a unique support for the skin when it comes to a well-moisturized skin. 
• BIOTIN: Biotin (B8) is also known as the beauty vitamin as it is part of the production of Creatine. Creatine is a basic protein that plays an important role in your skin, hair and nails. Therefore, Biotin is super popular to use in supplements related to skin and hair.
• ZINC: Is an essential mineral that your body cannot produce. Zinc has been used for many years in skincare products, especially suncare products and eczema related products, but it is also hugely effective when it comes to supporting the skin from the inside. Especially when treating problem skin.
•  Q10: Also known as the "anti-age vitamin". In fact, it is not a vitamin, but an enzyme that has strong antioxidant properties. This is especially a must-have for a +30 skin.
