If you work with me for medical grade skincare you know that I love a well-rounded approach with lifestyle, diet, and supplementation. If you are someone who deals with any skin conditions or acne, systemic skin health is imperative to reaching your skin goals. In addition to your topical skincare, there are supplements that can help to aid systemic skin health. 1st Phorm just released their newest skin supporting supplement and I couldn’t be more excited to share all the deets with you guys!
I want to make one point very clear first: Systemic skin support is important in addition to topicals! You can care for your skin topically till the end of time but if you are looking at the whole picture and taking care of your body on the inside it can be very hard to solve skin issues. That is why I am here for you and I do free consults on my website. I work with you to find exactly what you need for you!
Introducing Radiant
Radiant was formulated specifically to help fend off or reverse the negative skin reactions that come from stress, poor diet, and exposure to environmental toxins.
While these things may not be direct attacks on our skin, our skin is our largest protective barrier and tends to get bombarded daily as it works to protect us. On top of that, as our largest organ, our skin is responsible for filtering many of the harmful contaminants as they are eliminated from our bodies and all of this can begin to take a toll on our skin and can lead to acne and other skin problems.
The only environmental exposures you can control are in your home, anything outside of that is a mystery. Your skin is very absorbent and takes in everything from your laundry detergent that sits in your clothes to the hand sanitizers we are all constantly applying. Even if it is not directly to your face the contaminants build up in your system and can present itself in many different ways including skin issues. Radiant helps to combat this process and flush anything unwanted out of your system.
Skin Loving Ingredients
Let’s breakdown the ingredients!
Vitamins A, C, and E, these vitamins are strong antioxidants that help to protect our skin from excessive damage that can be caused by exposure to free radicals from the foods that we eat, water that we drink, and even overexposure to the sun. Free radicals have the ability to mutate cells causing all sorts of issues and illnesses. These vitamins also play a crucial role in collagen synthesis and by helping out with this, they can help to repair and strengthen our skin.
Vitamins B3 and B5 as well as the Mineral Zinc help to improve our complexion by decreasing the redness that is caused by inflammation of the skin associated with acne breakouts. They can also decrease the hyperpigmentation that is associated with previous acne breakouts and decrease blotchiness and other skin irregularities.
Selenium helps to strengthen your immune systems response to infections and more specifically helping fight off infections in the skin.
Copper plays a synergistic role to the Vitamins A, C, and E in collagen synthesis and Copper is essential for maintaining the healthy structure of our skin.
Chromium’s primary role in the body is managing blood sugar levels and this is important to our skin health. Poorly managed blood sugar levels have been linked to the breakdown of collagen which can impact the strength, structure and appearance of our skin. By including Chromium, this can help stabilize our blood sugar levels, and decrease collagen breakdown.
The best way to take radiant: is 2 capsules, in the morning with a meal. It is also very important to be consistent for the best results. By doing this and giving our body the specific vitamins and minerals, it needs on a consistent basis, you can help to protect and repair your skin to enhance overall skin health which can lead to a cleaner, smoother, and clearer complexion.
The Need To Know
FAQ #1 – Since this has bunch of vitamins and minerals, can or should I take this alongside Micro Factor multivitamin?
That’s a great question! And yes, you absolutely should. We have to remember that micro factor was formulated to fill known and unknown gaps in and otherwise balanced and healthy diet… if you feel as if your skin needs additional support, we will definitely want to include something like radiant in addition to it.
FAQ #2 – Should I take Hair, Skin, and Nails or should I take Radiant?
Well, as always, it depends.
If you are wanting an all-encompassing hair skin and nail strength product, I would recommend Hair, Skin, and Nails as it has some additional ingredients in it that help specifically help with the strength of our hair and nails in addition to our skin.
However, if you really want to improve the health and complexion of your skin, I recommend using Radiant as it is dosed higher in some key vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins B3, B5, and Zinc that help to reduce skin inflammation, redness and blotchiness.
FAQ #3 – I’m already taking Harmony for my skin, can or should I take Radiant?
Well, you can certainly take them together if you are already using Harmony. Radiant and Harmony help out with our skin from two different angles. Harmony is going to help balance out your hormone levels and by doing so, this can aid in the reduction of hormonal breakouts. Radiant on the other hand is more so just giving your body the specific vitamins and minerals that it needs to maintain or improve overall skin health and appearance.
FAQ #4 – Should I still continue to take my Opti Greens 50 and Fish Oil in addition to Radiant?
Yes! Our gut is super connected to our skin. My Greens and Fish Oil are my nonnegotiable supplements when it comes to daily skin health. I recommend continuing these supplements for optimal gut and skin health. Especially if you are someone who deals with acne or rosacea, the combo of these will be very beneficial.
That is the need to know about my new favorite supplement I have added to my routine, Radiant! If you have any questions about it message me through my Instagram or contact the 1st Phorm Team!
