The skin benefits little from the nutrients available in food, Garnier experts claim, which means that all skin types can suffer from nutritional deficiencies.

Food on its own is not sufficient to give skin all the nutrients that it needs to function at its best. When the intake of nutrients is not adequate, skin can become more easily damaged. It can develop deficiencies that weaken its internal mechanisms and make it less resistant to the first signs of ageing.

It is, therefore, highly recommended to help your skin compensate for these deficiencies with a healthy skincare routine. In order to help compensate for these deficiencies, Garnier has developed Nutritionist, a range of facial moisturizers enriched with Omega and Magnesium inspired by advances in dermatology and nutrition.

Food plays an essential role in delivering to the skin the elements and nutrients that it cannot synthesize for itself, but that it needs in order to build, renew and function effectively. In order to "feed" your skin properly, adopting a balanced diet is necessary.

 

For example, oligo-elements like magnesium or zinc, and anti-oxidant vitamins (vitamins C, E and A) found in fruits and vegetables are essential to help maintain healthy skin. There are two essential fatty acids that do not occur naturally in the body which are very important to maintain healthy skin as well as general well-being: linoleic acid and alpha-linoleic acid

Nutritionist line is enriched with essential fatty acids Omega3+6 that help strengthen the cellular membrane. Omega-3 can be found in salmon, sardines, tuna and almonds. Sunflower seeds, wheat, sesame seeds, corn and oils derived from some of these foods also have a high Omega-6 content.

Magnesium is known to be a powerful source of cellular energy. Magnesium can be found in tofu, wheat, cashews, peanuts, potatoes, spinach and milk. Varying quantities of Magnesium are also present in fruits and vegetables. Lipopeptides stimulate the natural production of epidermal lipids, while caffeine is known for its decongesting properties as well as its stimulating and energizing qualities for cell metabolism.

All Nutritionist products have very light gel-cream texture and subtle floral/green scents. They wear well under makeup, however, we found them more suitable for combination/oily skin types.

DAILY NUTRITIONIST SKINCARE ROUTINE for skin that is more resistant to the first signs of aging:

Daily Regenerating Moisturizer with Omega 3+6 and Magnesium to moisturize and reinforce the skin's natural defences from the first signs of aging, revitalizing tired looking skin. This cream is available with or without SPF.

Regenerating Night Cream also contains the Omega 3+6 + Magnesium formula in addition to hazelnut extracts and a lamellar network to prolong the moisturizing effect throughout the night.

Regenerating Eye Moisturizer contains the complex of Omega 3+6 and Magnesium and the decongesting properties of the added caffeine extracts diminish the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes.
