Supplements on a Shoestring: Skin Health

By Emily Light, CP Staff

The skin is our largest organ and is responsible for many important functions, including tissue cleansing and elimination of waste. A mirror of health, the skin is a useful tool for assessing well-being. Factors that affect our skin include the food and drink we consume, the quantity and quality of our sleep, our emotional state, hormone balance, and the cosmetics we use. If you’d like more information on the following suggestions -- or specific recommendations -- stop by the Supplements counter and talk with one of our staff members.

Herb Pharm Burdock Blend
This formula, especially effective for treating acne and eczema, encourages beautifully clear skin by supporting liver and kidney health. As with all skin care supplements, give this herbal remedy a minimum of two months for best results.
$10.35 for 1 fl. oz.

Natural Factors Rx Omega
Healthy skin is yet another benefit to add to the long list of reasons to take Omega-3s. EPA and DHA help moisturize parched skin, decrease inflammation (acne, eczema, rosacea) and reduce the redness, itching, and scaling associated with psoriasis. Two softgels per day (with food) is a therapeutic dose.
$18.95 for 120 softgels

NOW Grape Seed Extract
Grape Seed Extract is chock full of powerful antioxidants that help maintain the integrity of the skin’s elastin and collagen, thereby inhibiting wrinkles. Grape Seed also helps to strengthen blood vessels, which improves cardiovascular function and thus decreases bruising and varicosities. Want even more reasons to try Grape Seed Extract?
