Interested in Beautiful Skin?

For your skin to look its best, you must take care of it from the inside as well as the outside. The BEAUTIFUL SKIN NUTRITION PROGRAM will help provide the nutrients your skin needs every day

Try this Beautiful Skin Nutrition Program

START WITH THE SHAKLEE VITALIZER (WOMEN (with iron), VITALIZER MEN (without iron), or VITALIZER GOLD (for people over 50 yrs). (Note: Vitalizer includes Vita-Lea so there is no need to purchase both. See details about Vitalizer and what it contains here.)

Vita-Lea – Because most of us do not get all the nutrients we need from diet alone – AND – the trace minerals in Vita-Lea are important for a healthy skin

Energizing Soy Protein – Because your skin is made primarily of protein, you need adequate protein to maintain a healthy looking skin – AND – soy protein has been shown to boost energy levels and lower the risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis.

Sustained Release Vita-C – Because vitamin C helps form collagen, the glue that holds our skin together – AND – stress, exercise, birth control pills, and many common medications increase our needs for vitamin C

Vita-E Complex – Because vitamin E protects the cell membranes in your skin -AND- both vitamin E and selenium function as antioxidants against the free radicals associated with aging.

B-Complex – Because skin cells grow rapidly they need lots of B vitamins -AND – most women don’t get all the B vitamins they need from their diet.

For Your Special Nutritional Needs (That Can Also Help your Skin!)

CarotoMax – Because insufficient vitamin A can cause dryness and accelerate aging and wrinkling. The carotenoids in CarotoMax are safe precursors to vitamin A. – AND – we don’t get enough of the carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables in our diet.

Essential Omega-3 Complex – Because EPA is an essential fatty acid that keeps the skin smooth and supple -AND- it also improves the health of your hair and nails.

Super Cal Mag Plus – Because loss of facial bone mass is one cause of sagging skin as we age – AND – lifelong calcium deficiency is a major factor in osteoporosis (loss of bone mass).

Optiflora – Because “bad” bacteria and yeast in our intestine produce toxins that can be absorbed into our bloodstream and cause skin eruptions – AND – Optiflora prevents those problems by providing a regular source of “good” bacteria that crowd the “bad” bacteria and yeast out of our intestine.

Zinc Complex – Because zinc promotes the growth of healthy new calls and speeds the healing process when the skin is cut or burned. Insufficient zinc can cause rough, bumpy skin – AND – many of us do not get enough zinc in our diet.

Do You Need the Beautiful Skin Nutrition Program?

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1. Do you often use convenience foods or eat at fast food restaurants because of cost, convenience, or lack of time?

2. Do you often use “artificial” or “imitation” food products because they are low in calories, fat, or cholesterol?

…If your answer to either of these questions was YES, you would likely benefit from the nutrition insurance of Shaklee’s Vita-Lea.

3. Do you suffer from mid morning or afternoon “slumps” OR do you often wish that you had more energy?

…if so, you may wish to consider Shaklee’s Energizing Soy Protein in place of some of the animal protein in your diet.

4. Do you consume at least 2 – 4 servings of fresh fruits every day?

…If not, you’re probably not getting the vitamin C you need AND you would benefit from the phytonutrients found in CarotoMax.

5. Are you consuming 3-5 servings of fresh vegetables and 6-11 servings of whole grains each day?

…If not, you may wish to consider the added insurance of Shaklee’s B Complex AND you would benefit from the phytonutrients found in CarotoMax.

6. Do you eat cold-pressed vegetable oils, raw seeds and nuts, and whole grain products on a daily basis?

…If not, you’re probably not getting the vitamin E you need.

7. Do you drink 3 or more glasses of milk every day (4 or more if you’re a teenager and at least 4 to 5 if you’re past menopause)?

…If not, you’re probably not getting the calcium you need and you would benefit for Calcium/Magnesium Chewables or OsteoMatrix.

8. Do you have problems with inflammation?

…If so, you will probably benefit from GLA and vitamin E.

9. Do you have gas & bloating and/or problems with yeast?

…If so, you will probably benefit from Optiflora.

Shaklee also has topical skin care products that put vitamins on your skin. The line is called Enfuselle. But I will save that for another post. And don’t forget that adequate sleep is very important for healthy skin.
