Are you ready to achieve your skin goals this year? It’s the new year so what better way to kick start your supplement regime than now. With increased focus on fitness, saving money and other resolutions, skincare routines can be an after thought. If you only treat the outside of the skin with topical skincare and treatments, you’re only doing 50% of the job. By feeding the skin from the inside, you are nourishing the skin over the entire body and achieving 100% skincare. Our skin researchers have you covered with their five tips to maximise results from a supplement routine to help you achieve your skin goals this year. 

1. Consistency

Consistency is key to achieve the results you desire. Just like exercise, the more you do, the better results you see. It’s important not to give up and be patient. You may need to take your supplements between 8 -12 weeks before starting to see your results. Although you may start to see results within the first 10-14 days. Missing your daily dose regularly is where your results can fall behind. Implementing more of our tips below will help make taking supplements part of your routine just like cleansing, toning, and moisturising.

2. Habit Stacking

Habit stacking is when you pair a new habit to an existing habit you already do every day. It’s an effective way of sticking to a routine and remembering to do it. Take your supplements with lunch or an evening meal and consider them as part of a nutritious and healthy meal. Research shows that taking fat soluble vitamins (A, D,E) are better absorbed when taking with a main meal that contains fats or oils[1].

3. Phone Reminder

Another tip to remember to take your supplements, is set a reminder on your phone to ensure you never forget to take your daily dose.

4. Location, Location, Location

Put your supplements where you can see them. Keep them on your desk at work and take them with lunch. Or when at home keep them visible on the kitchen counter, don’t hide them in a drawer. 

5. Consider our smart boxes

Our Skin Ultimate, Skin Moisture IQ and Skin Collagen Synergy smart skin boxes are perfect for on-the-go busy lifestyles. They are pristinely packed in daily pods, easy to tear and pop in your handbag or rucksack, ready to have on hand for lunch or dinner.

We all know how important it is to cleanse, tone and moisturise, supplements are also equally important. Remember if you only treat the outside of the skin with topical skincare and treatments, you’re only doing 50% of the job. By feeding the skin from the inside, you are nourishing the skin over the entire body and achieving 100% skincare. The more you do it - the better results you will see.
