Let's talk about beauty supplements. If you're anything like us, just the idea of a beauty supplement elicits both an eye roll and a reluctant *click to purchase*. While its important to have a healthy level of skepticism around beauty marketing in general, there are a ton of nutrients that play a beneficial role for skin health, hair health and beyond.
In some sense, all supplements are beauty supplements if they're designed to optimize our health in any way. Glowing skin and and strong hair are deeply connected with our gut health, immunity, sleep cycles and nutrient absorption. Here are a few that stand out from the rest...
9 Beauty Supplements Our Editors Swear By
Ritual HyaCera | We know you know: the glow-up is all about hydration! We're huge fans of Ritual already and their latest launch is all about getting your skin as hydrated as possible—from the inside out. There are two star players in this supplement sourced from two countries famous for their approaches to beauty: a bio-fermented, lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid from Japan and a sustainably-harvested plant oil extract containing glycolipids and ceramides from France.
Agent Nateur x Dr. Will Cole Holi(mane) | We love Dr. Will Cole’s approach to mind-body functional medicine, so it’s no surprise that we also love the supplement he’s collaborated on.
