Skin Ingestibles

On taking care of my skin I don't only use topical products I make sure I also take care of it from the inside. 

I'm always a big fan of whitening products. Not that I hate my skin color to drastically alter it with whitening products but using such gives out fairer skin that glows and even out my skin tone (I never had even skin tone btw) and I always want to whiten my skin to a tone lighter because I always acquire an unwanted tan with just a little to moderate exposure in the sun. With summer finally closing in (actually it's way past it), of course I didn't miss out on going to the beach. I had a tan--a badge of having the time of your life under the summer sun. Not a bad thing after all but of course you would want to at least bring back your original skin tone. 

I tried Gluta-White capsules. I started with 150 mg then 500 mg. Although I think you should start with the higher dose then onto the lower dose.


Gluta-White capsules 150 mg

Glutathione is popular in whitening skin. Glutathione helps to whiten the skin in different ways. Melanin is the pigment that gives our skin its color, produced by the activation of the enzyme - Tyrosinase. GSH binds to Tyrosinase and helps prevent the enzymatic pathways from producing melanin. GSH helps to prevent the activation of Tyrosinase by reducing free radicals in the body that can activate it which cause decrease in melanin production. Less melanin production the lighter the skin. 

Gluathione as an antioxidant improves the quality and health of skin and skin whitening is only a side effect. People expect dramatic changes in their skin tone in using gluta but I think it will be more effective if used continually and in higher dosages recommended. Nonetheless, I still want to continue my routine in taking gluta everyday.

Gluta is better taken orally than topically. Applying gluta on the skin had been a fad. Whitening lotions or cream attracts us with its effect but it is proven less effective.  

Needless to say, my skin wasn't that drastically fair after a month of taking gluta but I noticed that my skin tone got lighter, my skin got firmer and clearer (because I had childhood scars).

Now with Myra E. I don't take Myra E along with gluta because I want to see the effects separately. With Myra, I can notice the effects in first take. I notice my skin is dewy and it has this 'glow' going on. My skin feels younger I also feel younger because aside from effects on my skin I noticed that I am more energized in general. I feel less fatigued and I feel light (because I often times feel groggy from too much sugar and unhealthy foods).

Vitamin E is also an antioxidant and it has a lot of health benefits such as preventing diseases of the heart and blood vessels, such as chest pains, high blood pressure, and blocked or hardened arteries.
 
Taking gluta and Vitamin E has been a routine for me. Although I don't take them together, it has been a part of taking care of my skin aside from drinking lots of water and applying creams. With this routine my skin is generally healthier, more supple and younger looking.
