Who else is overwhelmed by the beauty industry? What to buy, what to consume, what nutrients are best? We’ve definitely been there — and through trial and error, we’ve selected the following must-haves to be your most glowing, beautiful self for any upcoming event, holiday, or wedding.
Let’s Talk About What Goes Inside Our Bodies
Beauty starts from within. These are the key nutrients for skin, hair, and nails:
- Vitamin B-complex — Essential for hair, skin, and nail growth.
- Vitamin C — Enhances our ability to produce collagen, often associated with youthful skin.
- Vitamin B7 (Biotin) — Supports healthy hair and skin membranes.
- Antioxidants — Glutathione and resveratrol help us glow from within by reducing oxidative stress.
- Hydration — Key for skin that’s truly hydrated (different from moisturized — more on this below).
Our Beauty Boost IV enhances skin radiance, collagen production, hair growth, energy levels, hydration, and antioxidant levels. Adding a glutathione booster is a favorite for clients glowing up for weddings, formal gatherings, photoshoots, and holiday parties.
Dehydrated vs. Dry Skin — What’s the Difference?
Dehydrated skin means a lack of water within the layers of the skin. To combat this, drink quality water with natural salt and lime for absorption if needed — and enough of it. IV therapy also works incredibly well for deep cellular hydration.
Dry skin, on the other hand, is essentially lacking oil. This is mostly self-inflicted — using the wrong products or too many acids without properly locking in hydration with an occlusive moisturizer. The fix is topical, not internal.
The Ideal Skincare Layering Order
PREP
- AM + PM: Essence or toner — restores skin’s natural pH levels and adds hydration for the next steps.
TREAT
- AM: Vitamin C serum — brightens, lightens dark spots, and increases collagen production.
- PM: Chemical exfoliant serum (AHAs/BHAs) alternating with retinol (Vitamin A) — increases skin-cell turnover and resurfacing.
- AM + PM: Niacinamide serum — improves tone, texture, and reduces dark spots over time.
MOISTURIZE
- AM: SPF 25+ with PA+++ (even if staying indoors).
- PM: Rich, occlusive moisturizer.
LOCK IT ALL IN
- AM + PM: Lightweight facial oil — yes, even for oily skin types, and yes, even before bed.
Bottom Line
The beauty industry can be overwhelming, and it takes more than just topical products to give you that “lit from within” look. Proper nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, and hydration are crucial. Without these key ingredients, investing in beauty and skincare is essentially throwing money out the window.
