Supplements That Actually Support Your Skin (Without Messing With Your Hormones)

Because glow-ups should never come at the cost of your health.

When it comes to clear, glowing, healthy skin — it’s not just about what you put on your face, but what you put in your body. But let’s be honest: the supplement world is loud, confusing, and often filled with products that either do nothing or, worse, disrupt your hormones.

So let’s simplify it.

Here are 6 supplements that actually support your skin — and won’t mess with your cycle, your glow, or your body’s delicate balance.

6 supplements that actually support your skin

1. Omega-3 (Fish Oil or Algae Oil)

What it does: Anti-inflammatory, deeply hydrating from within, helps reduce redness, acne, and dryness.

Why it works: Omega-3s strengthen the skin barrier and support hormonal regulation — a must for glowing, balanced skin.

Good for: All skin types, especially dry, acne-prone, or inflamed skin.

2. Zinc (Picolinate or Bisglycinate)

What it does: Supports wound healing, reduces acne-causing bacteria, regulates oil production.

Why it works: Zinc is a powerful antioxidant and helps repair skin damage at a cellular level.

Good for: Oily, acne-prone skin or skin struggling to heal post-breakout.

3. Evening Primrose Oil

What it does: Helps reduce hormonal acne and improve skin elasticity.

Why it works: Rich in GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid), it helps balance hormones gently and reduce inflammation.

Good for: Hormonal acne, PMS-related breakouts, dull skin.

4. Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid)

What it does: Boosts collagen, brightens complexion, protects against environmental stressors.

Why it works: Vitamin C is a skin-essential antioxidant that fights free radicals and helps fade pigmentation.

Good for: Dull skin, pigmentation, uneven tone.

5. Collagen (Marine or Bovine, Hydrolysed)

What it does: Supports skin elasticity, hydration, and plumpness.

Why it works: Collagen is naturally produced by your body, but it declines with age — supplementing can help maintain glow and bounce.

Good for: Ageing skin, dry skin, prevention and repair.

6. Magnesium (Citrate or Glycinate)

What it does: Supports stress regulation, sleep, and inflammation — all tied to skin health.

Why it works: Magnesium calms the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels and helping hormonal balance.

Good for: Stressed-out skin, breakouts triggered by stress or poor sleep.

A Note on Hormone-Safety:

None of these supplements should interfere with your hormone balance when taken in appropriate doses. However, always check with your GP or a trusted health practitioner before adding new supplements — especially if you’re on medication, pregnant, or have a medical condition.
