Did you know that our skin is a direct reflection of our gut health and that you can have clear, radiant skin and strong, healthy hair without the massive price tag?
What if you didn't need 3000 serums, lotions, creams, masks and all the makeup needed to cover up acne and blemishes?? Let’s not forget all the procedures like laser, peels and toxic Botox.
Who even has the time for a 10-step skincare routine once a day, let alone morning AND night?
Well say hello to beef liver, abundant in retinol – the active form of Vitamin A.
Vitamin A has been used in the beauty industry for decades now, known for its benefits of contributing to clear and radiant skin.
Studies show that retinol can:
- Slow signs of aging
- Clears, soothes and heals acne
- Smooths fine line and wrinkles
- Promotes healthy skin cell production
- Improves and evens skin tone
Studies have also shown Vitamin A deficiency to be related to impaired immune function and delayed wound healing (Hello pimple you popped and then picked and is now taking FOREVER to heal and clear up!). (1)(2)
Do you love to get outside and feel the sunshine on your skin? Beef liver not only contains vitamin A but Zinc and Selenium as well which are antioxidants, that protect skin cells from oxidative stress like damage from UV radiation. Now we are not saying to go and get excessive amounts of sun exposure...it's all about balance!
In addition to vitamin A, liver is a good source of copper, zinc and selenium which studies show contribute to collagen production and metabolism, that gives skin it's elasticity and strength. Collagen reduces the presence of wrinkles, sagging skin and fine lines by plumping and firming the tissue beneath the skin. Selenium, studies show, aids healing by reducing inflammation. (3)
B Vitamins play a vital role in maintaining healthy skin by supporting numerous bodily functions essential for skin health and regeneration. B vitamins are integral to processes that convert food into energy, regulate the nervous system, and promote cell growth throughout the body, including the skin.
B vitamins can benefit our skin health by:
- Enhancing skin hydration and elasticity.
- Supporting collagen maintenance and wound healing.
- Supports fatty acid metabolism and prevents dry, flaky skin.
- Supports cell reproduction and helps reduce inflammation.
- Promotes anti-aging effects
- Acts as an antioxidant, promoting cell turnover and protecting against free radical damage.
How does Vitamin A contribute to strong and healthy hair? Vitamin A promotes cell growth and sebum production which is great for hair growth. Vitamin A also has antioxidant properties that prevents free radical damage and improves blood circulation to your hair follicles. (4)
Beef liver has many of the necessary nutrients needed for our overall health, not just hair and skin.
Beauty Health and Vitality comes from within!
