I have very thin skin from taking steroid inhalers and occasionally Prednisone for asthma like allergic reaction to a carpet with Scotchguard finish some years ago. Since then my skin has rapidly thinned and I bruise and tear skin from the slightest impact. What products can you offer to help me?

Hi Beryl

Thank you for your question and interest in our products.

It is great to see that you are being proactive in looking for the most appropriate products to support your skin and I am happy to help advise you. Our products are naturally based and the best benefits will come from using them on a long term basis. The results may be gradual and subtle, but nonetheless valuable. I can appreciate how taking your medications has affected the health of your skin and unfortunately, much of this is difficult to reverse. Although, I certainly feel that nourishing the skin through the use of the high quality products described below may be very useful.

The first product I would suggest is our Omega 3- Premium Fish Oil, which is a bioavailable blend of Hoki and Tuna oils, as well as two potent antioxidants included for their skin enhancing benefits. Our fresh and pure Fish Oil blend provides important essential fatty acids to help deeply hydrate, nourish and strengthen the skin. The Astaxanthin and Lycopene added to this blend may further help to promote 'beauty from within' and deliver additional free radical support that may help address bruising of the skin. These specific benefits are in addition to the many overall properties of fish oil for all the body systems including the brain, immunity, joints and the cardiovascular system.

Secondly, I would suggest our product Zupafood Skin. This is a powdered oral supplement, designed to be mixed with water or juice and contains an array of expert ingredients to care for the skin. Collactive Collagen is a bioavailable, marine sourced ingredient that may help to build skin strength, resilience and provide deep hydration. Also included is a natural fruit extract blend, Green Tea Extract, Calcium and L-Glutathione all of which support skin health, not to mention their additional benefits for overall wellbeing. Zupafood is a great option to provide a mid-afternoon energy boost, in a sustained and natural manner.

The final product that may be useful for you is our Age Defying Body Lotion which contains a variety of naturally sourced, deeply nourishing ingredients such as D-Panthenol, Crodamol and Shea Butter. This product may help to support cell rejuvenation and repair of the skin, as well as helping to heal damaged areas. It is free of colourings or fragrance, but even still it would be best not to apply it to broken skin.

Also, as you are taking medication I would advise checking with your doctor before you begin using any of these products.

I hope this information has been helpful. We would be delighted to answer any other questions that you may have, as well as helping to place your order.

Kind regards
