Use this product at least three nights a week after you cleanse and before your serums and moisturizers.

A tasty way to get your magnesium and a better night's sleep, this magic potion can be mixed in with water every night before bed to help restore cellular balance for sleep, brain health, and relaxation. The tangy berry taste is a welcomed surprise, and monk fruit gives this powder its extra sweetness dose. I take this at least 30 minutes before bedtime, and before I know it, my eyelids are heavy.

While this supplement boasts berry extracts and flavors, dermatologist Dr. Papri Sarkar notes that it's important to also consum a whole-foods diet. "Make sure to include leafy greens like kale, spinach, and collard greens, berries like strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, as well as vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, artichokes cabbage, and foods like sweet potatoes and squash," she says.

These tiny capsule supplements pack a powerful anti-aging formula to help minimize fine lines' appearance, promote elasticity and collagen renewal, and address free radicals. Like any supplements, you may see benefits from commitment and consistency, but it's also always good to remain wary. "Supplements can be expensive, and for some patients, supplements don't help," adds Sarkar. "It's always good to try a well-rounded healthy diet and see if your doctor thinks your skin is responsive to diet before you add or cut things out. "

SuperYou Daily Stress Management

Moon Juice SuperYou Daily Stress Management $49.00

According to dual board-certified integrative dermatologist Dr. Keir Barr, managing stress is a surefire way to ensure your skin stays looking its best. "Stress signals to your body and skin to make hormones like cortisol, because just like your brain, your skin has its own HPA axis. Increased levels of cortisol cause an increase in sebum production, increase inflammation and lead to an imbalanced skin microbiome, which are three of the four main factors that drive acne. And those overactive oil glands create a set up for trapping dead skin cells in our pores which is fuel for acne causing bacteria to thrive."

There's no way to rid your body of stress, but if an energy and mood boost is what you're after, this blend of four potent adaptogenic herbs will put you on the right track.

Blue Beauty Adaptogenic Protein

Most of us have tried a protein powder or two at this point, yet this powder rises above the rest to deliver plant protein combined with beauty benefits. Made of brown rice and fortified with Ashwagandha, Blue Spirulina, and Amla, stress is reduced while aging slows down. Not to mention, it's a beautiful blue color, and I enjoy sprinkling it in my overnight oats or putting it in my morning smoothies.

As a bonus, one study found that adaptogens decrease our sensitivity to stressors, which Barr notes is crucial to skin. "Studies have shown that our skin is especially sensitive to mental and emotional stress with resultant activation of our HPA axis and sympathetic nervous system that leads to secretion of hormones (like cortisol and androgens), neuropeptides (substance P) and inflammatory signals that can trigger or exacerbate acne," she says. So anything that can help the body better manage stress will also help the skin heal from within.
