The Best Supplements for Your Skin, Hair & Body

Words by Nasreen Osman

The way we view beauty is changing; as Vogue Business reports, the future of beauty isn’t just about looking good; it’s about putting our health first and ageing better. In the business, it’s called longevity. Yes, our focus is shifting towards ageing well, by supporting our skin and body from within. The goal? To extend our health span through science-backed skincare, wellness and nutrition, including, the focus of this guide – supplements. According to Euromonitor International’s Top Consumer Trends 2025 report, global sales of vitamins and supplements are expected to hit USD $129.9 billion in 2025. Safe to say, they’re a big deal.

With a supplement market so vast, offering everything from gut health to skin boosters, prebiotics and probiotics, it can be an overwhelming task for the uninitiated. To help you navigate this wide wellness world, we’ve compiled an expert guide to the best luxury supplements for your skin, hair and overall wellbeing.

“Supplements can play a significant role in filling nutritional gaps and addressing specific health needs, but they are not a substitute for a balanced diet,” advises Reshma Patel, Dietician and Nutritionist at The Wellness Clinic in Harrods. So, if you find that you’re generally healthy and have a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, you may not need supplements. However, as Patel elaborates, “For individuals with dietary restrictions, health conditions, or increased nutritional needs (e.g., pregnancy or ageing), supplements can provide targeted support.” Everyone’s different, so remember to always tailor your supplement routine to your individual needs.

A great skincare routine and a balanced diet go a long way in achieving healthy, radiant skin – but supplements can elevate your glow from within.

Anna Lahey, founder of ingestible supplement brand Vida Glow, explains: “While topical products primarily work on the surface, ingestible supplements deliver essential nutrients systemically, supporting the body’s natural production of proteins like collagen and keratin, improving hydration, reducing oxidative stress, and stimulating healthier growth cycles.”

For collagen support, Vida Glow’s Natural Marine Collagen is a cult favourite, helping to smooth fine lines, enhance skin elasticity, and boost hydration. If you’re after a more advanced formulation, Niance Switzerland’s Collagen-Hyaluron Beauty Booster combines marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin D, niacin and magnesium for deep hydration and skin repair. And if a clearer complexion is at the top of your skincare goals, Equi London’s Beauty Formula 30-Day Capsules help tackle breakouts, hormonal imbalances, and gut health from within.

While a luxurious hair oil can give instant shine, true hair strength and sheen start from within. Biotin, keratin and omega-3 fatty acids are all key ingredients that help to prevent breakage, support growth, and improve overall scalp health.

Louise O’Riordan, co-founder of Sisterly, explains: “Hair supplements work by supporting keratin production, reducing oxidative stress, and nourishing hair follicles at a cellular level.” For a comprehensive approach, Sisterly’s The Elevator supports both hair and nail health with an expert blend of 23 nutrients. If hair growth is your priority, Hair Gain’s vegan-friendly Grow Capsules stimulate follicles to encourage stronger, fuller hair. And to help reduce thinning and fortify strands, Vida Glow’s Hairology targets hair health at the root.

Wellness is personal. For some, it’s about lowering stress levels; for others, it’s all about gut health, energy and sleep – or all of the above.

As O’Riordan says, “Our bodies are constantly working to maintain balance, but modern lifestyles – whether it’s stress, environmental pollutants, or nutrient-poor diets – can create gaps that impact our wellbeing.” To help fill those gaps, look for a supplement that takes a holistic approach in supporting overall wellbeing. Sisterly’s The Elevator is designed specifically for women, helping to balance hormones, boost energy, and aid collagen renewal. For stress relief and sleep support, Clinique La Prairie’s Holistic Health Balance Rest & Reset 2-Month Supplement is a standout choice.

Gut health is another pillar of feeling good in your body. Laura Dowling, pharmacist and founder of FabÜ, explains that “gut health is the foundation of overall wellness. Probiotics and prebiotics help maintain a balanced microbiome, which in turn supports digestion, immune function, and even mental health." To get started, try Forever Young’s Probio7 Ultra Digestive Health Supplements or Zenii Biome Buddies, both of which work to promote a healthy gut microbiome.

You may have also heard about adaptogens – but what exactly are they? Essentially, they are active ingredients found in plants and, commonly, mushrooms. As for its benefits, Dowling explains that “Adaptogens help to regulate stress hormones and can be taken daily.” Hifas da Terra heroes the revitalising power of medicinal mushrooms and Viridian's ashwagandha helps to reduce stress levels. Plus, they can be even more effective when combined with other nutrients. “Pairing them with vitamins like magnesium enhances their calming effects,” she adds.
