What's the best way to get healthy skin?

I know there are so many ways that can cause skin problems and premature aging. What are the most important things to avoid? What are the best ways to promote healthy skin so I can look my best as I enter my next decade of life?

I recommend a variety of nutritional supplements in addition to the complete spectrum of vitamins and minerals recommended by nutrition experts worldwide, (B-complex, Vitamin E, Calcium-magnesium, etc.).

My research has shown that nutrients that possess antioxidant properties act as natural anti-inflammatories. This is important because antioxidants are Nature's anti-inflammatories. Designed to work synergistically to enhance the benefits of the anti-inflammatory diet, these nutrients offer anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, fat-metabolizing, and peptide-boosting benefits and help prevent and reverse oxidative damage on a cellular level, of critical importance as we age.

Active skin care product ingredients recommended include:

  • Alpha Lipoic Acid
  • Vitamin C Ester
  • DMAE (Dimethyl Amino Ethanol)
  • Coenzyme Q-10
  • Conjugated Linoleic Acid
  • GLA
  • L-Carnitine Fumerate
  • N-Acetyl Carnitine
  • L-Tyrosine
  • Omega-3
  • Carnosine
  • Benfotiamine
  • Astaxanthin
