what skin supplement is right for you quiz

If you got: Skin Vitamin A

Keep your skin balanced with a major dose of vitamins A and D. "Vitamins A and D work in synergy to help maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin," Iredale says. "They aid skin cell repair throughout the body, boost skin’s immunity, help prevent collagen breakdown, and have sun-protection qualities as they assist with oil and moisture balance in the skin." Pretty much all they don't do is laundry and meal prep.

If you got: Skin Antioxidant

Work towards a more even skin tone with seven plant-derived phytonutrients for a dose of antioxidants (which could help protect against fine lines and hyperpigmentation caused by free radicals).

"The skin is particularly vulnerable because it is continually bombarded by free-radicals caused by many things, including diet, stress, alcohol, exercise, inflammation, exposure to light (even light from the computer screen), and air pollutants—in other words life!" Iredale says. "Skin Antioxidant is ideal for anyone, but particularly those seeking skin protection and anyone with sun damage or pigmentation."

And don't think that a youth-boosting formula is just for women who have had a few extra birthdays. "Whatever your age, you can benefit from the protective and reparative powers of antioxidants," Iredale says.

If you got: Skin Complete

For luminously youthful skin, Iredale recommends the combo of vitamin A and antioxidants. You get all the perks of both Skin Vitamin A and Skin Antioxidant in one cute (100 percent recyclable) package.

"This powerful duo-pack is the ultimate start to any good skincare regimen," Iredale says. "Skin Complete improves the appearance and quality of the skin, aids in maintaining plumped, healthy skin, and provides antioxidant protection." Any questions?

If you got: Skin Accumax

Plant-based nutrients work to address underlying skin problems, seeking to gently (but effectively!) clear up your complexion without any of the harsh chemicals that can cause irritation and dryness.

"Skin Accumax is so unique it is patented," Iredale says. "The formula consists of vitamins A, C, and E plus diindolylmethane, a phytonutrient found in cruciferous vegetables. These ingredients work in synergy to deliver maximum results for acneic skin."

According to the brand, some people see results in as little as three weeks (but you can try it for as long as 14 weeks and receive a refund if you aren't satisfied, FYI).

If you got: Skin Omegas

Sustainably-sourced fish oil and evening primrose oil give you a major dose of omega-3 and omega-6 to hydrate skin from within—getting you closer to your glowy skin goals.

"For someone experiencing dry, sensitive, or flushed skin we would recommend Skin Omegas," Iredale says. "While beneficial for many organs of the body, fish oil can actually create dry skin if not taken in the correct ratio of omega-3 and omega-6," she adds, noting that Skin Omegas is designed for that just-right ratio. Oh yeah, and there's no fishy aftertaste (bonus alert!).
