Rejuvenation & Diet for Healthy Skin
Rejuvenation treatments stimulate the body’s collagen and elastin production, recharging the skin, boosting its anti-aging abilities and helping to enhance its natural repair process. When considering rejuvenation treatment, it’s important to complement the treatment regime with a healthy diet to maximise the effectiveness of the rejuvenation.
Healthy skin is a perfect reflection of how well your body is nourished on the inside and how well you are protecting your skin on the outside. It is also a reliable indication of overall good health and a healthy, balanced diet will promote general well-being and ensure our body will function at its best. We’ve compiled a list of essential vitamins, and the foods you get them from, that will help keep your skin glowing!
