Do you struggle with dark spots or uneven skin tone, no matter what creams and “miracle” serums you try?
Issues like age spots and hyperpigmentation are common, but you don’t have to live with them forever. A powerful antioxidant called glutathione offers a scientifically proven way to brighten and protect your skin naturally.
Glutathione is a substance made of amino acids, produced by the liver. Your body needs glutathione for many different body processes, including tissue healing and skin rejuvenation.
Why is glutathione so good for you (and your skin)? Research shows that it acts as a powerful antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties that fight skin damage and brighten dull or dark spots. As a skin tonic, glutathione is known to improve issues such as…
Among all the benefits of glutathione, its ability to brighten the skin has made it a popular natural beauty treatment for those with hyperpigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation is a disorder that affects the color of the skin; instead of an even tone, you may see uneven coloring or dark patches in certain areas. There are three main types of hyperpigmentation:
So, how does glutathione help with hyperpigmentation?
Because it’s an antioxidant, glutathione helps protect your skin from issues that cause excess pigmentation and dark spots, such as toxins, inflammation, and free radicals.
Glutathione also contains skin-lightening and detoxification compounds that block an enzyme called tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is responsible for melanin production, which gives your skin its color. When tyrosinase is deactivated, your skin produces less melanin and becomes lighter.
Last but not least, glutathione also naturally nourishes the skin and promotes healthy skin regeneration. This prevents the issues that lead to hyperpigmentation as well as damaged, dull, and dark skin. The result? Healthy, youthful, and even-toned skin.
Regular glutathione use has been linked to brighter, healthier skin. Here are the most common and effective ways to make glutathione part of your holistic skincare routine:
1. Eat glutathione-rich foods.
Glutathione is naturally produced in your body. Eating certain foods supports your body’s natural ability to produce glutathione by providing the necessary sulfur, vitamin C, selenium, and cysteine your body needs to make this antioxidant. Try incorporating more of these glutathione-boosting foods in your diet to reap the skin-brightening benefits:
* Brussels Sprouts
* Legumes
* Nuts (especially Brazil nuts)
* Flax seeds
* Eggs
* Whey protein
* Beef liver
* Milk thistle
2. Get glutathione IV therapy or injections
IV therapy is a powerful way to replenish your body with a range of essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and antioxidants. One of the most popular ingredients in IV nutrient formulas is glutathione because of its wide range of health benefits.
When it comes to reversing hyperpigmentation naturally, IV glutathione therapy and glutathione injections offer quick results you can see, and whole-body benefits you can feel. At The Beauty Within, our naturopath, Dr. Terry Boor ND, uses glutathione treatments to brighten the skin and improve overall skin quality.
