It is not only health that comes from the inside, but beauty which is after all the external manifestation of good health. Essentially, it is a matter of compensating for the lack of endogenous substances or for an excess of exogenous ones. Which means getting the right balance of missing substances in order to influence the age-related changes in the skin. Although natural beauty comes from the inside, the body can receive support from the outside by the conversion of highly active herbal or biochemical antioxidants as well as certain trace elements and amino acids into hormones.
My recommendation: They are better ingested rather than applied to the skin in the form of cream. Skin aging is a hormonal process. It is via the blood (i.e. from the inside) that these substances travel through the entire organism, eventually reaching the deeper skin layers. It is possible to continuously reinforce ourselves, so to speak, by nutritional means. Clearly, a cream will always reach only the top layer of skin. Depending on the individual genotype, there are various substances which will ultimately have an effect. Unsurprisingly, therefore, aging varies from person to person.
