PSA: The Skin-Care Brand Behind Your Favorite Exfoliating Device Also Offers Supplements—So Get Ready to Feel Cleansed *and* Calm
That mind-body connection is at the heart of a new collection of supplements formulated by Nu Skin, the brand behind the beloved LumiSpa iO exfoliator. For the first time, they’re taking their science-backed, whole-body approach to skincare and applying it to cognitive health.
“Market research shows that 93 percent of people report one or more concerns related to sleep, stress, focus, or memory,” says Helen Knaggs, PhD, head of global product research and development at Nu Skin. To help people address these common issues in a low-effort, holistic way, the Nu Skin team developed a line of MYND360™ supplements and topicals.
"Supplementation with cognitive-health solutions like those found in the MYND360™ line can be a great complement to other healthy lifestyle choices, like eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids; cultivating good sleep habits; and engaging in mindfulness activities," she says. “The topical products in this line were developed with functional fragrances to enhance mood and are clinically shown to heighten the benefits of the supplements, and when you pair them with other great skincare routines, it can really help people feel like they are taking care of themselves inside and out.”

For improved memory retention
Ever find yourself walking into a room and forgetting what you came for? Knaggs recommends trying Mind Full, a supplement made with ingredients like whole grape extract and astaxanthin. "Scientists studied the grape extract used in Mind Full specifically for its benefits in areas such as attention and language,” Knaggs says. “It has been shown to support memory and cognitive function.” As for astaxanthin, research shows that this unique carotenoid sourced from algae may help protect against oxidative stress and, according to Knaggs, may help reduce mental fatigue associated with eye strain.*
Nu Skin’s clinical study for Mind Full focused on people around 59 years old with self-reported memory complaints—but according to Knaggs, this supplement is great for adults of all ages who want extra memory and cognitive support.*
To promote calmness
Fact: We could all use a little more calm—especially as the holidays approach. Using relaxing lemon balm, the amino acid L-Theanine (which Knaggs says can help promote calm-inducing alpha brain waves), and mood-boosting magnolia bark extract, Nu Skin's Feel Calm supplement aims to support relaxation, healthy cortisol levels, and reduced feelings of stress.*
Don’t ditch your tried-and-true stress-management techniques altogether, though—Knaggs recommends taking Feel Calm as a complement to those practices. "It's another tool to help people manage stress in a healthier way, just like meditation and exercise," she says.
To sleep better
If a good night of sleep seems few and far between these days, Night Time supplements are for you. They’re formulated with classic sleep-supporting ingredients like magnesium and melatonin—but what really sets these supplements apart is the innovative use of saffron stigma extract, which research shows may help improve your quality of sleep over time.
"Not all saffron is created equal—the hand-picked process makes it a more exceptional product, especially when combined with the magnesium in the formula to help people get the best sleep experience," she says. Thank you, saffron, for the deeper zzz's.
For stronger mental clarity
In an age of TikTok-video-length attention spans, your focus levels could probably use some love. If you're prone to popcorn brain, a foggy head, or a case of the daydreams, consider Sharp Focus.
This supplement is designed to help support improved concentration, mental clarity, and healthy brain function—and to help sustain your energy levels, too*. "Sharp Focus delivers microencapsulated caffeine, which is released more slowly than typical caffeine so that you get all the immediate focus benefits from this ingredient without the jitters," Knaggs says. This high-quality caffeine is paired with a plant called bacopa, which studies suggest may help improve attention, memory, and overall cognitive performance when taken over the course of several weeks.*
No matter what your headspace is these days, give yourself the gift of cognitive support with MYND360™. Pair it with your skincare routine, a mindfulness practice, or both—and consider it self care, supplement-style.
