Let’s break down what will actually improve your skin health
Start with the basics:
Get 7–8 hours of quality sleep.
Your skin repairs itself while you sleep, and poor sleep accelerates ageing.
Stay hydrated throughout the day.
Dehydrated skin looks older and heals more slowly.
Protect your skin from the sun - UV exposure is one of the leading causes of premature ageing.
What you eat matters:
Foods rich in antioxidants help protect your skin cells from damage.
Avoid excessive sugar and processed foods.
These trigger inflammation, which often shows up on your skin.
It may all sound basic, but you’d be surprised how many people overlook simple things like sleep
and hydration.
Once you’ve got the fundamentals in place, a few targeted ingredients can significantly improve your skin health from within:
Hyaluronic acid
Your body naturally produces this, but levels decline with age. Unlike topical creams, supplementing with pure hyaluronic acid hydrates your skin from the inside out,
leading to noticeable improvements in moisture and elasticity.
Collagen peptides
Collagen provides the structural foundation your skin needs for firmness and resilience. Supplementing with collagen peptides helps fight wrinkles and sagging by working from within, rather than just affecting the surface.
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
As we know, many signs of ageing are linked to a decline in NAD+ levels. Boosting NAD+ has been shown to improve overall skin health.
You’ve probably noticed the theme by now: these all support your body from the inside out,
making them far more effective than any cream.
If you do use creams, look for simple ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, or basic moisturisers
without fragrance.
But remember: these only address surface-level concerns.
They can’t reverse the underlying cellular ageing process.
The reality:
True skin health comes from supporting your body’s natural systems
- not trying to reverse time with expensive creams.
Your skin reflects your overall health. Take care of your cells, and your skin will follow.
Focus on what truly works, rather than falling for marketing hype.
