Living Alchemy - Beauty+ (Radiant Ageless Skin)

Product Notes:

Whether you're simply getting older or simply not taking the best care of yourself (too much weekend carousing with not enough sleep?), your complexion may lose some of its lustre.

You've probably already repeatedly tried some of the usual quick fixes for this, such as trying to temporarily plump it up with moisturizing serums and/or exfoliating the dead outer layer to hope the newer skin cells beneath look better.

But what if there's a longer term AND more convenient solution: a dietary supplement directed at supporting the emerging skin and rebuilding it at the cellular level, rather than salvaging what's already there after the fact?

Of course, that may seem counter-intuitive, to turn to a whole food supplement like this to achieve or maintain a more youthful and radiant complexion, since the market is so saturated with topical creams, lotions, and serums. But the latter can generally only really improve the outer layers of the skin (which are on borrowed time, anyway), and not penetrate down to the deepest layer of the epidermis where our stem cells make new skin cells, or to the dermis and hypodermis or subcutaneous connective tissue layers below that, which provide its structure (via collagen and elastin), blood supply, oil, insulation, and temperature regulation.

Beauty+ is a blend of eight types of mostly whole food-based herbal medicines which have been selected to help rebuild and protect the skin and other tissues (including strengthening the hair and nails) at the cellular level in those lower layers. Five of those ingredients have been fermented, to enhance their vitamin content and make them more absorbable (a value-added process Living Alchemy does with nearly all its formulations).

The formula includes several fruits (including Schisandra, to help tighten up the skin and improve its blood vessels, and avocado to improve its elasticity and firmness); one grain (Rice Bran, rich in phytosterols, which have many benefits for the skin); two types of fungi (including Silver Ear, a powerful anti-inflammatory that can also promote collagen production, as can the Acerola Cherry fruit); plus one type of microalgae (Astaxanthin, one of the richest sources of beta-carotene and lycopene and an antioxidant that can counteract UV damage) and one mineral (zinc) for immune support, skin healing and regeneration, and maintaining the skin barrier.

They also recommend their Your Flora Terrain Probiotic as a companion product as the third part of a three-part protocol for those prone to skin conditions, because dysbiosis (an imbalance in the community of microorganisms living in our guts) can be behind skin issues like acne and eczema, as well.
