Summer Vibes: Boosting Skin Care

Getting that perfect vibe for a summer out on the water and feeling your best is a must. When it comes to health and wellness, you have to give your body the care it needs to keep up with the waves, wildflowers, watermelon wedges. 

With the right supplements in place, you can get some much needed daily support to enjoy your best life this summer. Now, depending on your needs, that can be any number of different areas in your daily routine. Whether it's mood, sleep, energy, or beauty wellness, there's a ton of places you can get started to reinvent yourself for the latter half of the year ahead.

At Troomy, we combine collagen, biotin, and medicinal mushrooms to offer a well-rounded gummy for improving skin health and giving it that healthy glow called Shine. Today, we'll take a deep dive into some of the compounds present in these blends, why they make a difference in your routine, and how you can get started yourself.

Health Benefits of Good Skin Care Through the Summer

Vitamin D Regulation

Having a strong source of vitamin D is pretty simple all throughout the summer. The trick really comes down to getting the perfect amount of balance in sun exposure. While you might not suffer from a vitamin d deficiency, you certainly should avoid overdoing it with time out in the sun. For some of us, though, we just can't avoid time outside, and need to give our bodies exactly what they need to stay healthy.

As far as dietary supplements go to get these benefits, a great number of them use vitamins to promote a healthy diet, eating nutritionally fortified foods, and reducing risk of diseases like liver disease and other ailments. Aim to work in vitamin D and other vitamins into your diet as you can to get through the summer with good skin care.

Better Collagen Levels

Collagen is an essential protein that could be implemented into your diet and supplements regularly. It works into preventing bone loss, relieving joint pain, reducing wrinkles, boosting skin hydration, and more. 

Luckily in 2023, collagen is one of the latest and greatest supplement forms that come in coffees, gummies, powders, and all kinds of different boosters for daily use. Getting started with them over summer is the perfect time to carry it into fall and winter without overwhelming your body to a whole bunch of added nutrients all at once.

Mental Health

Self image is largely tied to how we feel about our appearance, and good skin care can reshape that relationship much more easily. Summer time often leaves a high risk of sun burn and skin deficiencies to develop, which can be damaging to the psyche. 

Keeping both in check is much easier said than done, though there are habits you can try with the summer warmth in the air to keep you on track. Meditation, stretching, new music playlists, dieting, and supplements can all be fun new exercises to try that are great for improving an internal relationship. While that relationship won't change overnight, there's no time better than when the suns out and everyone's looking for a fun time together.

Anti Aging Glow

Anti aging is a target for many of our skin care routines innately. Getting that youthful, glowing look for summertime and beyond comes down to a few key elements. 

• Sensitive skin reactions: If you have sensitive skin, finding routines and ways to reduce redness/inflammation that work for you will be essential to keeping your skin healthy.
• Moisturizer: Moisturizers can be hit and miss, depending on how your skin reacts. Find products that work for you and stick with them.
• Tanning beds: Avoid these as much as possible. Never a good idea for healthy skin, the short term benefits are far outweighed by the health concerns in skin cancer and other issues that could arise from using tanning beds regularly.
• Overall gentle treatment of your skin: Be nice to your skin. Pack sunscreen, keep your moisturizer routine consistent, and keep cuts clean to avoid infection.

Now, each of these is really more of a habit rather than just a product to give your skin a vibrant glow, but there are new ways to get natural support fast. All kinds of creams and capsules can be taken (recommended by dermatologists, preferably), and natural supplements can be found on shelves rather than through a doctor. One that's particularly effective and impactful is medicinal mushroom supplementation. 

Mushroom Supplements for Improving Skin Care, Glow for the Summer Season 

Now you might not think of mushrooms first as a skin care booster, but their functional properties have actually allowed them to become widely used in the health and wellness industry today for better overall body wellness. 

Funnily enough, medicinal mushrooms have been used around the world for the least several thousand years.

What are Medicinal Mushrooms?

Do Medicinal Mushrooms Actually Work?

Many supplements will claim to have the end-all to health benefits and needs. To reach optimal health and wellness care, medicinal mushrooms have become a reliable supplement used over the past several thousand years in Eastern cultures to reduce symptoms/support a variety of different ailments. While evidence isn't entirely conclusive, countless studies suggest that these alleged benefits are well founded in the bioactive compounds present in medicinal mushrooms discovered through clinical trials.

However, medicinal mushrooms should not necessarily be used as an alternative medicine over prescriptions for diagnosed ailments or other such conditions. Instead, they could simply be used as additions to your routine to support function, as it might take weeks or even months to start seeing a dramatic shift in your daily wellness.

What Nutrients Make Them Strong?

Beta-glucans and fruiting bodies overall are the foundation of what set apart medicinal mushrooms as supplements. This is where both soluble and insoluble fiber roots for cardiovascular support are ingested, and also play in as "immunomdulators" for weaker immune systems to be able to perform at a stronger level.

Still, not every medicinal mushroom offers the same benefits or even the same nutrients. Each one takes different priority for vitamin counts, minerals, and functional values.

Medicinal Mushroom Species to Try

The Chaga Mushroom: An antioxidant superstar, chaga is fantastic for links to reducing stress and bad cholesterol regulation.

The Cordyceps Mushroom: Often connected to energy and exercise performance, cordyceps isn't just popular for being in The Last of Us. It's daily support linked through performance can make or break your next workout, school day, or night at the office.

Perfect for all walks of life, everyone could use a little reishi for daily support.

The Lion's Mane Mushroom: Cognitive function boosting and highly effective for studying, lion's mane is a great addition to the workplace as well. While you start performing at a higher level, you may feel a bit of a mood boost too.

The Turkey Tail Mushroom: Turkey tail has been linked to supporting reduced cancer growth and elevating immune system performance. As a nutritional superstar, turkey tail takes the long-term benefits to the next level in medicinal mushroom support.

The Tremella Mushroom: A cornerstone of beauty and wellness. The tremella mushroom populates our Shine blend here at Troomy, and is the perfect place to get started for mushroom support in your daily routine.

Other mushrooms are often grouped into this list, but only a handful are actually considered medicinal. None are considered poisonous, and are actually quite safe.

Are They Safe to Eat Regularly?

Yep! Safe to take daily even. While recommended dosages should be followed, you might need to scale your dosages around your own needs and body's reactions. Medicinal mushrooms impact everyone's health differently, and it's crucial you take the time to find exactly the benefits and support you're looking for through the summer and months beyond.

Which Mushrooms are Best for Summer Benefits?

Overall, it really depends on what support you're looking for. Tremella's great for summer, but for well rounded support in stress, energy, and mood, you might want to look to others as well to make a more comprehensive routine plan.
