From 25 To 75: This Supplement Can Promote Skin Longevity At Any Age

In the short term, you might look to skin care to address a breakout, ease dark under-eye shadows, or brighten your complexion. But overall skin health is a much more long-term goal. Enter the concept of skin longevity. Basically, it means taking care of your skin with a focus on the long term instead of relying on quick fixes—and who doesn't want that?

One main factor that contributes to physical skin aging is a lack of hydration. Of course, drinking water is one way to support your skin from the inside out, but you can also call upon specific skin-supporting players, like ceramides. 

In mbg's cellular beauty+, a supplement specifically designed to encourage healthy skin aging, we use phytoceramides (as Ceramosides®) to check this box. And taking ceramides orally has been clinically shown to ease wrinkles after only 15 days, with even greater benefits after eight weeks1.*

Another factor that contributes to skin aging is oxidative stress. This happens when free radicals from the environment (think pollution, stress, UV rays, etc.) put your skin into a state of stress. When this state is extended, physical signs like skin sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles don't fall too far behind. 

One way to fend off free radicals is by ingesting (and topically applying) antioxidants. In our supplement, we use pomegranate extract, astaxanthin, and ubiquinol CoQ10—all powerful free-radical fighters.* 

The latter, CoQ10, has been clinically shown to reduce biomarkers of oxidative stress2 after eight weeks. What's more, it has been found to improve skin elasticity and smoothness and reduce wrinkles and fine lines3 after 12 weeks.*
