The impact of summer on skin, hair and nails
After a well-deserved vacation, we return to the city, to our routines, and to work. Our skin, still golden from the sun and with that summer glow, now faces new challenges: pollution, toxins, blue light from screens, and the inevitable stress of everyday life. Silent enemies that accelerate aging and sap vitality.
The summer that filled us with energy also left its mark on our bodies. Prolonged exposure to the sun and UV rays accelerated skin aging, leading to wrinkles, blemishes, and loss of elasticity. Meanwhile, sea salt and pool chlorine dry out the skin and weaken hair, leaving it more fragile and brittle.
Nails also suffer from this overload: they become thinner, break easily, and lose their natural strength. At the end of the season, it's common to experience rough skin, dull hair, and weakened nails.
September is therefore the right time to regenerate from the inside out and restore the balance and vitality to your body that it deserves.
Why recover from the inside out
Nourishing creams and hair masks are important allies, but they only treat the surface. True regeneration occurs at the cellular level, with the replenishment of nutrients that support the skin, hair, and nails.
That's why, in this post-summer phase, it's worth focusing on key nutrients that work deeply:
Collagen
Collagen is a true beauty ally: it's the structural protein that supports skin, hair, and nails. Over time, natural collagen production declines, leading to loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles, and brittle hair and nails.
To counteract this process, including a quality collagen supplement in your daily routine may be essential. Collagen not only contributes to skin elasticity and hydration, but also promotes hair strength and nail strength.
For those seeking skin results, including other nutrients in the formula that ensure better absorption and complement the action of collagen represents an evolution in supplements.

Biotin
Known as vitamin B7, biotin is essential for maintaining strong, healthy hair and nails. Its main role is to support the production of keratin, the protein that gives structure to hair, skin, and nails.
When biotin levels are balanced, hair becomes shinier and stronger, and nails become thicker and less brittle. While biotin can be obtained through diet (liver, eggs, salmon, nuts, seeds), a specific supplement ensures the ideal amount for visible results.
Beta-carotene
It contributes to smoother, more elastic skin, two of the most visible markers of youth. It also acts as a natural "shield," absorbing some UV radiation. Furthermore, it is an important precursor to vitamin A.
Vitamin C
Besides being an essential antioxidant, it's essential for collagen production. Because UV rays accelerate the degradation of collagen fibers, ensuring a good intake of vitamin C is essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. It can lighten skin by inhibiting tyrosinase.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a key role in skin renewal and repair. In addition to supporting the immune system, it contributes to a healthier, more balanced complexion.
This mineral also participates in collagen synthesis, making it essential for the vitality of skin, hair, and nails. Important sources of zinc include oysters, red meat, and pumpkin seeds.

Fisetin
Fisetin is a potent natural senolytic that may help improve skin aging by selectively eliminating senescent dermal fibroblasts, the cells that accelerate chronic inflammation and skin aging.
By restoring balance, or cellular homeostasis, fisetin promotes tissue regeneration, bringing benefits not only to skin health, but also to overall well-being.

Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is known as one of the most potent antioxidants among carotenoids. It comes from a microalgae called Haematococcus pluvialis and helps protect skin from sun damage and regulate inflammation. Studies show that astaxanthin slows the effects of UV exposure, reducing immediate redness and preventing wrinkles in the long term. It improves skin hydration and elasticity.

Hyaluronic Acid (oral)
Hyaluronic acid keeps skin hydrated for longer and longer. The result is firmer, more elastic, and rejuvenated-looking skin. Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvements in skin hydration, reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, and increased skin elasticity.

Resveratrol
Polyphenol extracted from Polygonum cuspidatum with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which helps manage UV-induced skin damage. It protects collagen and elastin, reducing wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. At the hair level, it protects hair follicles from oxidative stress.
What practical strategies does your skin need in addition to the benefits of Nutricosmetics?
Boost hydration
Drinking enough water is the first step to restoring skin elasticity and hair health. Antioxidant infusions can be a great way to increase your fluid and nutrient intake.
Stress Control
Perhaps one of the biggest consequences of stress on the skin is aging. Wrinkles, expression lines, and gray hair are caused by excess free radicals, which affect hair follicle health and break down collagen proteins, leading to a loss of skin support and elasticity. Furthermore, this oxidative stress can contribute to the onset or worsening of skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, allergies, and cancer. Therefore, managing stress is extremely important to maintain or improve skin health.
Reduce toxic load
The term toxic load is used to describe the accumulation of toxins and chemicals in the body. This load originates from a variety of everyday sources, such as personal hygiene and cleaning products, makeup, food (pesticides), and even the environment (solar radiation).
Nourishing from the Inside Out with Blended Formulas
True beauty goes far beyond the surface. A holistic approach to health includes a balanced diet, stress management, restful sleep, regular exercise, and everything that contributes to your well-being.
The right supplements can be a powerful complement to achieving great results. Many nutrients act synergistically, so combined formulas can produce greater results than either alone.
