Beauty Complex by Revive Active: Dr Anita Sturnham’s top five tips for radiant and glowing skin

Dr Anita Sturnham is an internationally renowned  GP specialising in dermatology and anti-ageing medicine. She is also brand ambassador for Irish company Revive Active’s super supplement, Beauty Complex. With more than 20 years of medical experience, Dr Anita  is known for her meticulous attention to detail as well as  her ethical approach.

Here are Dr Anita’s top five tips for radiant and glowing skin:

1. Support your skin from the inside out by consuming a diet rich in antioxidants and keeping caffeine, processed sugar and alcohol consumption low.
2. Enhance skin health with Beauty Complex from Revive Active to give your skin the collagen peptides and building blocks it needs for healthy collagen production and cell protection.
3. Find a skincare routine that works for you and use it consistently for best results. Be sure to cleanse, tone and apply serum and moisturiser in the AM and PM.
4. I recommend finding a clinical grade serum to use morning and night in order to boost skin radiance. In the morning, look for vitamins C, B and E, and ferulic acid, enhanced by minerals including zinc, magnesium and copper. For your night serum, a retinoid is a must. Look for one combined with other useful ingredients such as Squalane and Hyaluronic Acid to support skin hydration.
5. Once a week, schedule a clinic-style "at home facial". Use fruit acids and fruit enzymes to gently remove tired, dull skin cells, to brighten skin tone and boost radiance.

As we settle into the winter months, there is a lot to look forward to: curling up around a roaring fireplace, winter woollies, much anticipated nights out with friends and, of course, Christmas. But with the wonderful holiday season also comes the cold weather, which can take its toll on your hair, skin and nails. The sudden drop in temperature, harsh winds and humidity can cause hair to become dry and lifeless, skin to feel dry and dull, and nails to become weak and brittle. Therefore, giving our skin, hair and nails some additional support is important to help us feel our best.

Revive Active is delighted to unveil its new Beauty Complex gift set in time for the holiday season. Treat yourself or a loved one to this ultimate set containing two boxes of Beauty Complex, with a total of 60 sachets. This gift set also includes a complimentary biodegradable detangling hairbrush. This hairbrush has thin flexible bristles that safely untangle wet or dry hair while minimising split ends and breakage. The brush will be a lifesaver for our hair this party season.

The newly reformulated Beauty Complex by Revive Active is a super supplement with eight active ingredients, working together to support skin, hair and nails from the inside out. It now contains 150μg biotin and a higher quantity of copper in a 30-day supply in a 100 per cent recyclable box.

Beauty Complex contains a selection of ingredients that comes in a powder form, which means that the active ingredients dissolve in liquid, allowing for easier absorption by the body compared with  a capsule or tablet. The powder sachet eliminates the need for any fillers, binders or bulking agents, which can affect the absorption process.

Each sachet of Beauty Complex contains:

• Peptan® Collagen Peptides (7,000mg), a special form of collagen in which the protein has been hydrolysed, making it more bioavailable and more easily absorbed by the body
• Biotin(150μg), a water-soluble vitamin that  plays a role in the maintenance of normal skin and hair
• Hyaluronic acid (100mg), naturally present in the skin and which plays a key role in skin moisture
• Phytoceramides (100mg), ceramides derived from plants and which play a key role in the skin's barrier function

“I’ve tried so many collagen supplements over the years and I always come back to Beauty Complex by Revive Active,” Dr Anita says. “When choosing a brand, I look for a number of things – the ingredients, the ingredient percentages used and the scientific data that backs up the product, as well as testimonials and reviews. Beauty Complex ticks all the boxes and has outperformed other collagen supplements that I have tried and tested over the years.

“With 7,000mg of Type 1 Marine Collagen, combined with phytoceramides, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and mineral cofactors, and the addition of biotin, which enhances benefits not only for your skin but also for your hair, Beauty Complex is a truly a unique supplement.”

Beauty Complex is perfect for skincare, haircare, wellness enthusiasts and future brides to be and works best as part of an ongoing routine. The orange- and pineapple-flavoured powdered sachets can be easily stirred in 250-330mls of water, juice or smoothie until dissolved, and can be enjoyed at any time of the day, after food.

The formula is suitable for those over the age of 18, except for those who are allergic to fish. As with any nutritional supplement, please consult your qualified healthcare professional before use, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, if you have a known medical condition, or are taking medication. Beauty Complex is suitable for diabetics and those with coeliac disease.

Beauty Complex should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
