Samaya’s Ayurvedic Skincare Supplements

Want an inside job? To nourish your skin from the inside? Samaya’s multi-award winning Ayurvedic skincare supplements are personalised by dosha (bodily energy) type, so you select your pill according to your constitution. (In Ayurvedic medicine, the three doshas —vata [wind], pitta [bile] and kapha [phlegm] — need to be in balance for optimum health.) The supplements all contain hyaluronic acid (to keep your face moist), CoQ10 (an antioxidant) together with Gotu Kola (its terpenoids increase collagen production), Triphala (helps inflammation), Acerola-amla (rich in vitamin C) and other powerful Ayurvedic herbs such as (Indian ginseng) Ashwagandha. They’re also chokka with anti-inflammatories and antioxidants —from iodine from seaweed to polyphenols from green tea — naturally boosting your immunity, promoting the formation of collagen, helping repair tissue, and combating tiredness and fatigue. The Kapha supplement packs a punch (you can feel its Triphala and Ashwagandha energising you) and its ginger, cinnamon, rosemary and sage also make it very detoxifying and cleansing. On top of that, wait for it, they have no bulking agents, are 100% natural, vegan, kosher, cruelty-free, non-GM and ‘Made in England’. Pop two a day and you’ll soon see visible results.

Kallistia Hyper Pigmentation Cleanse

Australian company Kallistia has launched a new range of supplements designed to address pigmentation, working to lighten and fade the appearance of dark spots. Kallistia Hyper Pigmentation Cleanse is brimming with Vitamins C, E and A, all of which have antioxidative properties. The supplements also contain Q10 to help protect cells against oxidative stress, and Dragon’s Blood extract which has ageing benefits. ‘We created this formula as pigmentation is often not spoken about, especially from the inside out,’ says founder Kallistia Vass. kallistia.com

Vital Proteins Collagen

Collagen supplementation is one of the fastest-growing beauty trends when it comes to skin health.

Jennifer Aniston is the face of the brand and adds two scoops to her morning coffee, as it’s flavour-free and soluble in hot and cold liquids. Our favourite is the Collagen Creamer, which contains organic coconut milk powder to add a tasty kick to your morning caffeine hit. From £24.99, vitalproteins.co.uk

Whizzy technology’s used to protect the collagen, making it 15 times more effective; there’s science behind the product’s enteric collagen delivery system; and its astaxanthin (an antioxidant found in salmon) is 6000 times more powerful than Vitamin C for boosting your immune system.

Viviscal

A naturally derived hair growth supplement, Viviscal has attracted the attention of salon experts around the world since its creation, as well as a whole host of A-listers – Karlie Kloss, Reese Witherspoon and Hailey Bieber, to name a few. It also has strong scientific backing: in one study, 75.3 per cent of participants reported a significant decrease in hair loss. The company created its signature growth-boosting formula back in the 80s, following a Scandinavian study which discovered the beautiful hair of the Inuits was a result of their marine protein-rich diet. Viviscal’s star ingredient is its trademarked AminoMar marine complex, which is a blend of sustainably sourced shark cartilage, fish oil, mollusk powder and silica – all of which have hair strengthening properties. viviscal.co.uk
