Default Flax oil and silica

Plus high-dose vitamin C. Not sure that's completely related, but it is part of the "regimen."

Lots of flax oil caps--7 daily, may add more now that it's winter. I've been taking Bio-Sil for a while and it was capsule-form silica for a long time before that; maybe 10 years now? Part of the collagen matrix. (Plus, a snot-load of other supplements to the tune of ~ 30 pills per day maybe more it hurts to count, but these are the ones with the biggest skin effects, I think.)

Elsewise, it's cheap soap and Buff-Puff and whatever lotion doesn't make me break out, usually from the cheaper section of a big-box store.

The dermatologists who sell $$$ creams will say, "dietary supplements don't reach the skin in amounts high enough to make the same difference our products do." Maybe. I kinda think the condition of my heart and brain cells is actually more important than my skin, and there's only so much money to go around. Would rather spend it internally than on creams.
