Vitamins for your skin: Part 1

Did you know that 80 to 90 per cent of your aging is related to lifestyle and NOT genetics? This is going to shock a lot of readers, but the reality is that you have the power to control how well you age.

You can spend hundreds of dollars on topical skincare, but if you are constantly eating fast food that's devoid of any nutrients, you're basically throwing good money down the drain. What you put inside your body is as important as what you put on your skin. If you give your cells proper nutrition, your body will respond by putting forth beautiful and glowing skin.

If you need a little boost when it comes to proper nutrients for your body, I've recently become aware of a number of vitamins that have been specifically formulated for your skin. I had seen a number of these products on the shelves, but always wondered if they actually worked — especially because I had found them to be a bit pricey (that was before understanding how amazing they actually are).

During an interview with Pat Browne, vice-president of Marketing for Nordic Selfcare Institute, distributors of Imedeen Time Perfection, I realized how many top models were using vitamins for the skin as their anti-aging secrets weapon of choice. That made me quite excited to actually have the opportunity to use what they use for their skin.

Imedeen Time Perfection: This daily skin vitamin contains very high dosages of deep-sea fish oil, lycopene and vitamin C to help boost collagen, repair and reverse many signs of aging. In fact, Imedeen Time Perfection is a formula with scientifically documented ingredients. The exclusive Biomarine Complex is rich in proteins and polysaccharides similar to those naturally found in the supportive layer of the skin. It also originates from a deep-sea fish (from native to clean-clear waters). I should also add that the fish is not caught to obtain the Biomarine Complex, but caught first and foremost for consumption purposes.

I've been using Imedeen Time Perfrection for three months now and I'm sometimes amazed at how healthy my skin looks (even with the lack of proper sleep most nights). I also have to say that as Pat had told me, my acne is not as severe and I expect that with time it might even get under control. The other exciting thing about the product is the number of high-level clients using the same product I've been using: British supermodel bad-girl Naomi Campbell, Dutch supermodel Helena Christensen, makeup artist Carmindy (from TLC's What Not to Wear), Jimmy Choo shoes CEO Tamara Mellon and Australian supermodel turned swimwear and lingerie CEO Elle Macpherson.

Imedeen Time Perfection ($95.00/60 tablets) is available at the cosmetic counters of leading pharmacies and at select spas, plastic surgery and dermatology clinics across Canada. For more information, please visit the website or call 1-877-463-3336.
