The Science of Glow – How Nutrition Shapes Your Skin

Written by Niels Luka, Founder of NÓNE

They say beauty starts from within — and science agrees. The nutrients you consume play a huge role in how your skin looks, feels, and ages. Forget quick fixes and “miracle” creams. If you want real results, you need to nourish your skin from the inside out. Here’s how.

1. Collagen-Supporting Nutrients

Collagen is the structural protein that keeps skin firm and smooth. As we age, collagen production naturally declines.
Study: Proksch et al., 2014 – PubMed Link
Takeaway: Supplementing with collagen peptides and vitamin C can improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles within 8 weeks.

2. Antioxidants to Combat Damage

UV exposure, pollution, and stress create free radicals that damage skin cells.
Study: Pullar et al., 2017 – PubMed Link
Takeaway: Antioxidants like vitamin E, vitamin C, and polyphenols help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin’s structure.

3. Hydration from Within

Dryness makes fine lines more visible and dulls your glow.
Study: O’Neil et al., 2011 – PubMed Link
Takeaway: Proper hydration, combined with omega-3 fatty acids, improves skin moisture and barrier function.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Foods for Calm Skin

Inflammation accelerates skin aging and can worsen redness or acne.
Study: Calder et al., 2018 – PubMed Link
Takeaway: Diets rich in omega-3s, polyphenols, and minerals like zinc can reduce inflammation and promote an even skin tone.

5. Protein for Skin Repair

Your skin constantly renews itself — and it needs protein to do that.
Study: Wu et al., 2009 – PubMed Link
Takeaway: Adequate protein intake supports the regeneration of skin cells and the production of structural proteins like keratin and collagen.

Bottom line: Skincare isn’t just about what you put on your face — it’s also about what you put on your plate. At NÓNE, we create clean supplements that deliver the nutrients your skin needs, without fillers or unnecessary extras. Because real beauty starts deeper.
