In your quest for youthful, glowing skin, you’ve tried all the serums, moisturizers, and treatments. Maybe you’ve got your skincare dialed in but want to soothe problem areas? If so, you may want to try skincare supplements. But how can you know what to look for when buying supplements?

At Forever Beaumore, we combine ancient beauty rituals with modern innovation to bring you tried and trusted beauty solutions.

And we’ve learned that there are certain holy-grail vitamins and minerals which can help boost your glow factor, especially those rich in skin-loving ingredients like vitamin C and collagen.

Let’s dive beneath the surface!

 

6 Powerful Ingredients to Look for in Skincare and Wellness Supplements

If you want to know what to look for when buying supplements, especially for beauty and wellness, you can’t go wrong with the following ingredients:

1. Biotin

2. Collagen Peptides

3. Vitamin C

4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil)

5. Mushrooms

6. Retinol (Vitamin A)

 

  1. Biotin

If you’ve ever tried hair, skin, and nails supplements, you’ve likely heard of biotin, nature’s secret weapon for luminous locks, glowing skin, and strong nails.

But what is biotin, exactly? Biotin is vitamin B7, and it helps break down fats and carbohydrates in your food. While you can certainly look for biotin in your supplements, it’s really only beneficial in those with a biotin deficiency (1). 

That doesn’t mean its effects aren’t potent. Rather, you can get plenty of natural biotin by stocking up on foods rich in it, like eggs, bananas, and milk. 🥛

Yum!

Your body’s got your back when it comes to biotin. Collagen, on the other hand? It requires a little more support.

 

  1. Collagen Peptides

You don’t have to look hard to find collagen supplements in a vitamin shop or online store. That’s because it’s an abundant protein that gives your complexion its supple, youthful structure, firmness, and bounciness. Problem is, our body produces less collagen as we age. That leads to all sorts of signs of aging gripes, including sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.

It’s no wonder so many of us reach for collagen skincare and supplements. But here’s the kicker: your body only absorbs a specific kind of collagen, called hydrolyzed collagen (collagen peptides).  

These have a smaller molecular weight (2), making them easier for the skin to absorb. 

So if you want to reap the benefits of topical collagen, including minimized wrinkles, more elasticity, and firmer skin, make sure your collagen skincare has hydrolyzed collagen.

But skincare can only go so deep. That’s when collagen peptide supplements can step in to pick up the slack.

Forever Beaumore’s Advanced Caviar Collagen Beauty Drink is a wellness supplement packed with 20,000mg of potent marine collagen peptides. It’s so tasty and effective at adding firmness and bounciness to your skin, you’ll be reaching for seconds!

 

  1. Vitamin C

If collagen is the superhero of the skincare industry, vitamin C is its trusted sidekick. That’s because your body needs vitamin C to produce collagen. On top of that, it protects your complexion from its worst offender: the sun.

Research shows that taking higher intake levels of vitamin C supplements leads to better skin (3).

How does that manifest in the mirror? Fewer wrinkles, less dryness, and more moisture. You can double down on those anti-aging effects by coupling vitamin C supplements with other skin nourishing ingredients. 

Or, if you prefer to apply your Vitamin C to your skin, our powerful Stem-C Serum has you covered. It contains your daily dose of vitamin C and revolutionary stem cell technology, alongside essential nutrients like vitamin E, jojoba oil, and hyaluronic acid.

 

  1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil)

Wellness lovers have long sworn by nature’s skin-loving elixir, fish oil – and for a good reason. 

The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil can help relieve skin conditions like psoriasis, skin ulcers, acne, and skin dryness (4).

So, if you’re experiencing skin dryness or irritation, the lubricating, nourishing compounds in fish oil supplements may be the answer. 

 

  1. Mushrooms

Turns out, a delicious addition to your savory meals can also boost your immune system. And when the immune system is healthy – your complexion is happy and balanced. 🧘‍♀️

Shiitake mushrooms are packed with anti-inflammatory properties that help your skin regenerate. You’ll find them in our Mushroom Complex Gummy, along with nine other immune-boosting mushrooms that’ll bolster your body’s natural defenses while boosting cognitive function and stamina. 


  1. Retinol (Vitamin A)

Vitamin A (also called retinol, or retinoic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that helps your body fight free radicals and build immunity (5). If you’re not a fan of leafy green veggies like spinach, or produce like carrots and cantaloupe, your body might be short on vitamin A.

Retinol supplements can give your body the boost it needs to slow down the signs of aging, especially when combined with vitamin C and folate.

For instance, our embody Retinol Gummy is proven to make skin look brighter, feel more hydrated, and look gorgeous.

What to Look for When Buying Supplements

Before you purchase any supplements, it’s smart to look for a few tell-tale signs of an effective product. Here’s how to tell if a supplement is high quality (and when to keep looking):

How to Tell if a Vitamin is Good Quality

  • Research ingredients and vitamin labels (look for vitamins and minerals proven to treat specific ailments (like the ones we shared above).

  • Opt for products with proven 3rd-party testing, which backs a supplements’ efficacy and shows that the claims match actual results.

  • Look for recognized verifications, including the GMP certification which meets strict quality control metrics.

  • Read company and product reviews to ensure real customers are satisfied with their experience using the supplement.

  • Avoid “miracle products” touting unrealistic cures with little science, research, or peer and public review standing behind them.

  • Consult your doc to learn about the proper supplements content, including daily intake levels to safely consume certain vitamins and minerals.

With this in mind, let’s take a look at the best ingredients to boost your skin, health, and supplement your wellness routine.
