Skin supplements have become a popular choice to combat signs of ageing, we have seen and tried many brands with mixed results. Lumity are a really popular brand made for women by a woman who was looking for results herself; they don’t only deal with the skin, they are looking at improving your sleep, immune system and energy levels too. I have been taking them for a month and want to continue to really report back on my results. I like that there are morning and night formulations and so far so good, I think you really need to take something for 3 months to start to see a difference.
Everyone is different, down to their skin’s chemistry but no matter what the issue is when it comes to your skin, there are lots of common causes of ageing, you will have your own issues that worry you the most. It may be lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, sagging skin or dullness, as we age we will sadly all start to notice we need to spend more time looking after our skin.
Some of the most common problems are:
- Oxidative damage: skin can’t detoxify itself anymore
- Cellular debris: waste products that accumulate after cells die
- Glycation: sugar getting into skin, causing it to become discoloured, aged, and weakened
- Telomere shortening: causes cell death
- DNA damage: a break in a DNA strand
- Inflammation: inflammatory skin diseases are the most common problem in dermatology.
Dr. Sara Palmer Hussey found herself considering these issues. She wanted to come up with an answer to her own question, “Is it possible to blossom and thrive as we mature?” Hussey knew that as we age, we would develop problems such as poor nutrition choices, busy everyday lives, reliance on caffeine and sugar, and these are just to name a few. Fatigue, weak immune systems, and accelerated ageing are also among the culprits. Trust us, we know these things are hard to deal with but with extensive research Dr. Hussey had something in mind.
Dr. Hussey used her biology background as well as her own experiences as a single mother, to create an answer to these problems. Thus Lumity was born. Lumity offers a morning supplement and a bedtime supplement, meant to be taken together every day.
In the morning, three coffee-coloured capsules are taken to support brain health, vitality, healthy skin, hair and nails, and nutrients for joints. Right before bed, three milk-coloured capsules give you a high dose of Omega 3 fatty acids, and provide overnight radiance with Amino Acids that help maintain skin elasticity. Together, these supplements reverse the damage that everyday life and ageing has caused to our skin.
“My aim was to create a product that offers real, tangible benefits. I thought if we could offer women something that noticeably improves the way they feel on a daily basis and gives them an effortlessly healthy, glowing appearance, they would have the energy and freedom to focus more on the things they love.” – Sara Palmer Hussey, PhD
Lumity was shortlisted for Beauty Shortlist Awards 2017, and has been featured in a number of magazines, including Cosmopolitan, You Magazine, Town & Country, Daily Mail, and Health & Fitness.
