Healthy skin has been equated with a healthy diet leading to the "inside out" approach to skin health. Since the skin is the barrier to the external world, healthy skin should lead to overall better health. Conversely, the skin derives its nutrition from the internal body requiring the consumption of nutritional supplements for optimal health. This research attempts to examine skin attributes and improved appearance achieved after consumption of a state-of-the-art dietary supplement.
