Get Healthy Skin Now with Astaxanthin from Oriflame BUY YOURS TODAY!

It has often been said that we are what we eat, and this is especially true when it comes to Astaxanthin. Apart from being touted as helping to prevent everything from sunburn to wrinkles, this mighty antioxidant has a whole host of other skin boosting benefits worth talking about. Check them out at Wellosophy from Oriflame!

First of all, what is Astaxanthin?

That lovely, reddish pink colour that you associate with flamingos, salmon, lobster, shrimp, and other delightful creatures in the animal kingdom? You can thank Astaxanthin for that! It’s a naturally occurring carotenoid (a pigment found in nature that gives fruits and veggies their bright orange, yellow, or red hue) that’s found in abundance in the freshwater microalgae H.pluvialis and happens to be a staple in the diet of those rosy animals mentioned above. In fact, Astaxanthin can be found in the muscles of salmon, and many theorise that this provides the endurance they need to swim upstream. Just another reason to enjoy more of this delicious fish!

Why should you boost your Astaxanthin intake?

1. Helps keep wrinkles at bay

When taken orally, Oriflame’s Natural Astaxanthin can help to promote healthy skin from the inside out! It penetrates the deepest layers of the skin to provide next-level protection from harmful free radicals that break down skin collagen and contribute to fine lines and wrinkles, while also improving moisture retention and elasticity.

2. Keeps you on your A-game

Nothing’s as satisfying as completing an extra tough, sweaty workout. And while the benefits of regular exercise are well-known, particularly strenuous workouts (especially when you’re unaccustomed to exercise) can increase the production of free radicals and cause oxidative stress – resulting in inflammation and soreness, which can reduce your sports performance. That’s where Oriflame’s Astaxanthin comes in. It helps promote muscle recovery, improves endurance, and protects against free radicals in muscles, so you feel as strong as a salmon swimming upstream!

3. Helps you stay sun smart

One should never skip the SPF when basking in the sun, but it’s nice to know that Oriflame’s Astaxanthin also helps to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. UVB rays penetrate the skin’s outer layer, the epidermis, resulting in sun burns, while UVA rays go deeper to penetrate the dermis, causing oxidative stress and gasp premature ageing. Because Oriflame’s Astaxanthin can penetrate all layers of the skin, it acts as an “internal sunscreen” of sorts, protecting against UVA-induced oxidative stress. It has also been shown to reduce inflammation (read: lobster-red sun burns) from UVB exposure.

4. It’s nature’s most powerful antioxidant

As if you needed more reasons to introduce Oriflame’s Astaxanthin to your life, this potent antioxidant has proven to be 4.6x stronger than beta-carotene, 110x stronger than skin health-boosting Vitamin E, and a whopping 6000x stronger than Vitamin C in fighting free radicals. Sounds almost too good to be true!

What is the best way to absorb Oriflame’s Astaxanthin?

Upping your Oriflame Astaxanthin intake is both easy and delicious. Astaxanthin-rich foods include wild salmon and salmon oil (wild salmon ingest the microalgae containing Astaxanthin), red trout, algae, lobster, shrimp, crayfish, and crabs. Astaxanthin can even be taken regularly as a supplement.

Our Oriflame Wellosophy Astaxanthin & Bilberry Extract is developed with freshwater microalgae commonly found in the Swedish archipelago and is a great way to incorporate some super antioxidants into your daily diet!

What is oxidative stress?

We are all exposed to free radicals every day, from natural metabolic processes within our own bodies, but also from unhealthy lifestyle choices (e.g., unhealthy diet, alcohol consumption and smoking) and from the environment (e.g., pollution and UV rays). Our body has a natural built-in antioxidant defence system but if these defences are unable to keep up with neutralising the accumulation of free radicals, it puts stress on our bodies – known as oxidative stress – which can have a negative impact over time. Oxidative stress can occur in every organ in our bodies, including our skin, brain, heart, and eyes. You need a variety of antioxidants from your diet to help your body protect itself against oxidative stress.

Immune cells are particularly sensitive to oxidative stress. Research has shown that Oriflame Wellosophy Astaxanthin can benefit the immune system (Park et al. 2010, Baralic et al. 2015).

Over time, oxidative stress can lead to negative health effects (Pisoschi & Pop, 2015).

Oxidative stress can lead to skin ageing, eye damage and impaired immunity (Pisoschi & Pop, 2015)

What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are compounds, which are able to neutralise free radicals. There are many types of antioxidants, present in different types of foods, including phytonutrients (natural plant compounds), vitamins and minerals. Including a variety of different coloured plant-based foods in your diet means you will get different types of antioxidants with different benefits.

• Oriflame’s Antioxidants can help reduce oxidative stress, benefiting skin health, eye health and immune function (Pisoschi & Pop, 2015).

How to use:

Your Oriflame guide to superfoods for glowing skin and a healthy gut

https://uk.oriflame.com/nutrition?store=UK-sb

In the pursuit of radiant skin and overall wellbeing, we often underestimate the power of superfoods. We believe in the transformative potential of nature’s bounty to enhance both your skin and gut health. Let’s explore the incredible world of superfoods that can bring out the glow within you.

Superfoods, a term coined by nutrition experts, are nutrient-rich foods with exceptional health benefits. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, these powerhouse ingredients not only contribute to radiant skin but also support a healthy gut. Incorporating them into your daily diet offers a delicious and effective way to boost overall wellbeing.

Blueberries – nature’s antioxidant boost

A rich source of vitamin C, blueberries are a superfood that comes with numerous health benefits. Beyond being a delightful addition to your meals, they are rich in antioxidants known as polyphenols. These compounds play a crucial role in combating free radicals, which contribute to premature ageing. Blueberries’ ability to calm the skin and promote eye health makes them a must-have in your diet for a radiant complexion.

Chia seeds – Omega-3 goodness for skin and gut

Tiny yet mighty, chia seeds are a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids essential for promoting skin elasticity and hydration. These seeds also support digestive regularity, contributing to a healthy gut. Enhance your daily routine by adding chia seeds to smoothies, yoghurt, or as a topping for salads, ensuring a tasty and nutritious boost for your skin and gut health.

Turmeric – the golden elixir for wellness

Turmeric, a spice revered for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, is a golden ticket to both skin and gut health. Its active compound, curcumin, fights inflammation, supports joint health, and potentially reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Whether in meals or soothing turmeric tea, it fosters a balanced gut and promotes healthy, glowing skin.

Probiotics – gut health for radiant skin

Probiotics, beneficial bacteria essential for a thriving gut microbiome, support digestion, nutrient absorption, and a resilient immune system. The undeniable gut-skin connection highlights their role in reducing skin inflammation. Beyond staples like yoghurt and kefir, diversify your probiotic intake with fermented delights such as sauerkraut and kimchi. Embrace these live cultures to foster radiant skin and overall wellbeing.

Kale – nutrient-rich goodness

Kale, a nutrient-rich superfood, is a treasure trove of vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like iron and calcium. Beyond contributing to skin health, these nutrients play a vital role in supporting your overall wellbeing. Incorporate kale into your diet through salads, smoothies, or as a side dish for a nutrient-packed boost that will leave your skin glowing and your body thriving.

Seaweed – ocean’s remarkable superfood.

Explore seaweed, ocean’s wonder for gut and skin health. Rich in amino acids and vitamins, seaweed smoothens fine lines, enhances skin elasticity, and provides a natural plump and glow to your skin. Try various culinary techniques, from boiling it for broth to steeping it into a tea. If the flavour doesn’t necessarily appeal to you, consider incorporating seaweed into a relaxing hot bath to maximise its versatile beauty and wellness benefits.
