Protect your skin from within

When it comes to your skin health, fall can be a real eye-opener. As cooler and drier air takes hold, fine lines can suddenly appear more noticeable than they were just a few weeks before.

Most of us reach for topical products like moisturizers and serums, and for good reason. But it may surprise you to learn research shows you can also support your skin from the inside. One special nutrient can increase skin hydration and elasticity, help protect against collagen breakdown, and reduce the appearance of fine lines like crow’s feet.

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid produced by algae. While you may not have heard of it, you’ve almost certainly consumed it because it gives wild salmon and shrimp their natural pink color.

Research shows astaxanthin helps in several ways. It helps neutralize free radicals produced by UV light exposure, a major contributor to skin aging. It also reduces the activity of collagen-degrading enzymes. Studies show it can improve skin hydration and elasticity, helping your skin hold on to moisture while staying firmer and more flexible.

In one double-blind study, adults taking 6 mg daily for six weeks showed improvements in crow’s feet measurements, elasticity and skin hydration.

The bottom line is astaxanthin is not just making skin appear healthier today; it’s working to slow processes that make skin look older tomorrow.

New Chapter’s Skin Barrier Boost provides 6 mg of astaxanthin, matching the dose used in a six-week clinical study. It also includes vitamins A, C, and E, zinc, collagen, and konjac.
