Beauty from the Inside Out - The One Mistake
You’re Making with Skincare

By Rebecca Chung,
Founder of Princess Brows and Glowagen

Are you already having facials, using expensive creams, getting enough sleep, hydrating, and yet your skin isn't giving that glow?

 

The secret to radiant skin might not just be in your skincare products but also in your diet and overall nutrition. This holistic approach to beauty is something I am deeply passionate about and is the driving force behind Glowagen, a wellness brand dedicated to nurturing your inner energy and radiance.

Mega Trends in Hong Kong

The Asian beauty market leads the world, with several mega trends shaping our choices:

 

  • Personalization:
    Customized beauty solutions are in high demand, reflecting the desire for tailored skincare and wellness routines.
     

  • Clean Beauty:
    There is a growing preference for products free from harmful chemicals, emphasizing natural and sustainable ingredients. I’ll come back to this as there’s a lot of “clean-washing” out there and misinformation. 
     

  • Beauty X Wellness:
    They’re not mutually exclusive. Our clients are increasingly embracing a holistic approach, integrating mental, physical, and emotional well-being into their beauty routines.
     

  • Influence:
    We’re still heavily influenced by beauty leaders, Korea, Japan, and also by celebrities and their beauty habits. 

Importance of Internal Health for External Beauty

Our skin often mirrors our internal health, and factors like diet, hydration, and nutritional intake play crucial roles in maintaining its vitality. When our body receives the necessary nutrients, it functions optimally, visibly reflected in our skin. For instance, collagen maintains skin elasticity and firmness but as we age, our natural collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. “There’s nothing wrong with aging, but if we want to look and feel better for longer, we have to go beyond botox and creams and start from the inside out. Supplementing with high-quality collagen can help replenish these levels, promoting a youthful appearance”.

Understanding Beauty Supplements 

Just look on iHerb and you’ll see the market brimming with beauty supplements. But are they all made the same? “There’s a massive range of quality and efficacy “out there” and a lot of supplements are more marketing and brand than quality and performance. When creating Glowagen, I wanted to change that and make something that actually works”.

 

The market is brimming with supplements promising various beauty benefits, but understanding the role of each nutrient can help you to make informed choices. Here are some key supplements and their benefits:

  • Collagen:
    Improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles.
     

  • Biotin:
    Strengthens hair and nails while promoting healthy skin.
     

  • Vitamins A, C, and E:
    Powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage and promote cell regeneration.
     

  • NAD+:
    Enhances cellular repair and energy production, supporting overall skin health, evidenced to give more energy, better sleep, and increased longevity. 

So, if you’re already doing a solid skincare routine but your skin isn't skinning, it could be your diet that’s lacking. We know that we need to eat well, sleep well, and get enough protein but how do we fill in the gaps, nutritionally speaking?

 

We’ve created Glowagen using potent and effective ingredients so you can easily supplement your existing diet and see the difference in your skin. The Glowagen Collagen Drink and NAD+ supplements are meticulously formulated and proven to make a difference to your skin.

Tips on Choosing the Right Supplements

Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:

  • Identify Your Needs:
    Understand your skin concerns and what you aim to achieve, be it anti-aging, hydration, or overall wellness.
     

  • Research Ingredients:
    Look for supplements with clinically proven ingredients and transparent labeling.
     

  • Consult a Professional:
    Seeking advice from a healthcare provider or a nutritionist can provide personalized recommendations.
     

  • Consistency is Key:
    Supplements are not a quick fix. Consistency in usage is crucial for seeing long-term benefits.

Your radiant glow begins from within. Over my decades of experience, I have learned to embrace the power of supplements and experience the transformative effects they can bring to your beauty routine.
