We are what we eat!

And that is absolutely true for the skin. Healthy skin is a combination of a good skin routine and a great dietary plan. The food game is very important for radiant and youthful skin. This applies to both macros – as in how much protein to take, and how much carbs to restrict, and for micros. Micronutrients are very important in upholding the skin’s youth and resilience. These can be vitamins, minerals or skin specific supplements which keep the skin well hydrated and in a state of positive repair.

The primary ingredient in White Pine® is Pycnogenol®, an extract from the bark of the French maritime pine and it is the only authentic Pycnogenol in India. Till date, Pycnogenol® remains one of the most studied, and evaluated health supplements.

Pycnogenol is a multitasker skin supplement, with benefits on multiple organ systems of the body. Here are the top 10 ways, in which you can rejuvenate your skin by taking White Pine® Pycnogenol®.

1. White Pine® Pycnogenol®, the best Pycnogenol in India restores your skin’s youth by promoting the synthesis of hyaluronic acid. We lose collagen from our early twenties, and loss of collagen with time and age, is one of the key factors in skin ageing. Collagen literally forms the bulk of the skin, and is kept well hydrated and in form by hyaluronic acid. Old, dried out collagen does not support the skin and shows up as fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Pycnogenol® stimulates the natural production of hyaluronic acid in the skin, which then goes on to revive the collagen, which in turn lifts and tightens sagging skin. The study found that women with dehydrated skin saw an increase in skin moisture within just a few weeks of starting the supplement.

2. Pycnogenol® increases the oxygenation of the skin, and detoxifies the skin. Studies have shown a decrease in Co2 content by close to 10%, while the presence of oxygen increased by close to 20% in people who used Pycnogenol®. Literally like a skin freshener.

Pycnogenol® acts as an internal photoprotector, with proven benefits against ultraviolet exposure induced skin changes. This is a game changer for those who are unable to constantly reapply sunscreen, and for those who may need protection against long hours of sun exposure for occupational reasons. Gadgets and screen time also add to ultraviolet spectrum induced damage, and a good internal photoprotective agent is a great way to look after your skin.
