The Glow Getter's Guide to Glow-Worthy Supplements & Immune Boosters

I was always skeptical about the powers of supplements, my mum was always reminding me to take them if I was ever complaining of being tired or under the weather because in her eyes that was a direct result of my not having taken any vitamins. Fast forward many years later and I am now repeating exactly that question to Mouse, (she is a big fan of Vitabiotics Peppa pig multivitamin jellies), and I have got myself into a good routine to assist with boosting my immune system so I can do all my GLOW getting and being a full-time mama. 

We’ve all heard the myth that vitamins just create very expensive urine…However, I have tried and tested taking religiously my vitamins and skin supplements and I have seen the difference to my overall wellness, energy levels, and my GLOW LEVEL. I’d like to preface that I am obviously not a medical professional but with the coronavirus, flu season and just overall thinking about overall wellness, I wanted to share my tried and true favourite wellness routine. Having just traveled back from Iran and gone through isolation to ensure we don’t have symptoms Vitamin C is quite high on my list right now. Let’s dig into my favourite glowing skin supplements and Immune Boosters!

GLOWING SKIN SUPPLEMENTS

Super Glowy - The adaptogenic elixir from Glow Bar London contains super herbs and fruits to assist with boosting skin radiance and help to give your hair a beautiful sheen. It is a little hard to blend but with a good food blender it will mix into any juice or shake. I prefer to have it in my protein shake in the AM. GLOWING BONUS: One of the main ingredients is Ashwagandha which I am a big fan of to help with anxiety and stress. Stay tuned for my GLOW DATE at Glow Bar London coming to the blog soon!

Lumity Morning & Night Supplements - I took these over the course of one month and they are definitely worth it. I do struggle with swallowing tablets and was pleasantly surprised at how easy the capsules to take: 3 in the morning and at night. The benefits of turmeric extract play a role in these supplements, I cannot go on anymore about the power of NATURE - it’s an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant which is crucial to help your skin GLOW and assist with any underlying skin conditions. The Anti-inflammatory for me is crucial with Rosacea. 

Brox Bone Broth - Perfect winter warmer and boosts collagen. I know this is such a simple concept but trust me, it’s a game-changer.

Overall when it comes to beauty supplements, I have found that Vitamin C and immune-boosting is definitely a common denominator in them to reinforce that we should see our skin health correlate with our overall wellness. That’s the goal, right? Glowing from the inside and out!

Here is the link on Net-a-porter to trial for a month, you will start to see results after 28 days so I definitely recommend giving these a chance to show you glowing skin from within!

For those that perhaps want to focus on overall health over skin supplements (although I’d argue you can have both!), I’d like to now talk more about what I like to use for immune-boosting to glow from within.

IMMUNE BOOSTERS 

WelleCo Super Boosters - Immune System Support with Kakadu Plum - These test tubes full of powerful blend of botanicals are the perfect addition to your daily wellness routine. I was advised to add a 1/3 of the contents of one tube (they sell as a pack of 8) into 250ml of water or my morning protein shake. This was the perfect recommendation for me with my breakfast protein shake. Currently, they are SOLD OUT in the test tube, however, don’t panic! They are due to restock very soon! I admit I couldn’t wait so I ordered the 14-day sachet set instead - all available through the link above.

INGREDIENT HIGHLIGHTS:

+ Australian Kakadu Plum and Brazilian Acerola Cherry, both rich sources of Vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps limit free radical formation in the body.

+ Echinacea extract and Moringa leaf powder, to support immune system health and fight illness.

+ Astragalus extract, to help relieve fatigue

GLOWING BONUS 

Kakadu Plum has some key benefits for skin - helps brighten, soften and smooth fine lines by keeping your skin hydrated. RMS Beauty has launched a new evening beauty elixir and the active ingredient is the KAKADU plum as well!

Vitabiotics - Wellwoman Energy - I don’t know about you but I am quite the fan of waking up to a Vitamin C soluble tablet of some sort, I believe it also encourages me to drink enough water, starting the day right with at least a 250ml glass. One of my other business ventures, In Bloom Drops, will also help encourage you to drink water, so stay tuned for that as well!

I was introduced to these particular dissolvable tablets on a shoot and have been hooked since. You can find them at Boots and Holland & Barrett. The tube can easily slip into your handbag so no excuses and the perfect ingredient for GLOWING from within on the go. 

Rather than inundating you with an endless list of supplements/vitamins, I have kept it short and sweet, to products that I have tested and have my GLOWING review. Currently I am still in self-isolation with Mouse, it has been my new form of #selfcare. Taking time to reflect, concentrate on my goals and more importantly cherish and treasure the most important aspect of our lives, OUR HEALTH. 

I hope this post has reinforced the powers of Vitamin C and actually how immune boosters and good skin health come from the same source. It is that 360-degree holistic viewpoint to glowing skin I always GLOW on about! (We should do a competition to see how many times I can use the word ‘glow’ in a post, haha!). I hope this post proves helpful and would like to again preface that I am not a medical professional and wanted to share my own personal experiences! XO Steph
