Hey besties! Today we’re talking about maintaining healthy skin and how important it is for our overall wellbeing. Remember, our skin protects us from external factors and properly caring for it helps us look and feel our best - so including ingestibles to create a healthy “skin climate” can significantly improve our skin health. Let’s talk about two amazing products, their benefits and how they work together to provide the best results for your skin!

Let’s start with a quick before & after!

(Before and after taken after 3 months of using Renew + Protect and Marine Collagen + Co-Factors)

“What’s in Renew + Protect and how does it improve skin health?”

Renew + Protect combines powerful ingredients to combat inflammation, enhance hydration, reduce redness and protect against UV damage (in clinical trials it showed to increase resistance to UV-induced sunburns by 84%). When we reduce instances of chronic inflammation, we also reduce the severity of acne, eczema and rosacea. When we improve skin hydration, we reduce redness, roughness and flaking. Finally, when we boost resistance to UV-induced damage, we reduce the risk of premature aging, sunburns and skin cancer. Are you starting to see how a combination of topicals and ingestibles can better benefit your skin? Great, now let’s talk about the ingredients!

“What’s in Marine Collagen + Co-Factors and how does it improve skin health?”

Marine Collagen + Co-Factors provide the necessary building blocks for collagen production. It improves skin hydration, minimizes the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and increases skin elasticity and firmness.  The combination of collagen, L-lysine, vitamin C, and silicon ensures that the skin remains strong and healthy. There’s been a lot of discourse on the internet about collagen and it’s efficacy but recent research shows that levels of hydroxyproline (a peptide unique to collagen) increase after collagen supplementation and that collagen peptides accumulate in the tissues which triggers greater fibroblast activity (helping to hydrate, firm and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles). Anyways, let’s talk about ingredients again!

“What are the benefits of taking these two products together?”

Taking Renew + Protect and Marine Collagen + Co-Factors together offers a comprehensive approach to skin health. Renew + Protect is foundational, - it reduces inflammation, boosts hydration and increases the skin’s resistance to UV-induced damage and environmental aggressors. Marine Collagen + Co-Factors is structural - we’ve taken care of the foundation and now we’re looking to support skin, hair and nail growth. These products are the duo of ingestible skin care, so let’s talk about some of their combined benefits!

The Takeaway

Renew + Protect and Marine Collagen + Co-Factors are excellent choices for anyone looking to improve their skin health. Individually, they have significant benefits - but when taken together, they provide a comprehensive approach to improving your skin’s health. These products enhance skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve hydration, and protect against environmental damage. Let’s answer some of the most common questions I hear about these products in the treatment room!

• “What are the benefits of taking Renew + Protect for my skin?”: Renew + Protect helps reduce inflammation, enhance skin hydration, support the skin barrier and protect against UV damage, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced risk of premature aging.

• “How does Marine Collagen + Co-Factors improve skin health?“: Marine Collagen + Co-Factors supports collagen production, enhances skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and improves hydration, leading to a firmer and more youthful-looking skin.

• “3. Can I take Renew + Protect and Marine Collagen + Co-Factors together?”": Yes, taking them together provides synergistic benefits, enhancing overall skin health by improving elasticity, hydration and protection against environmental damage.
