If pill-popping isn't your thing, then try Neal's Yard Organic Beauty Oil. A blend of flax seed, hemp seed, avocado, evening primrose and pumpkin seed oil packed full of skin-boosting Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids in the rather palettable form of an oil. Drizzle over salads and pasta, add to soups or mix with lemon juice to make a vinaigrette dressing or just take a couple of spoonfuls a day neat.

Nude Age Defence £58 for 80 capsules

The Green alternative: Nude has extended its excellent skincare line to include a range of four natural supplements free from artificial colours or flavourings, hexane, harsh solvents or prions and containing probiotics and 'supercritical extracts' to address skin concerns.

Typically, one of the more expensive supplements turns out to be this beauty editor's pick of the bunch. Like most skin supplements you'll need to take them for 2-3 months to see results. The unique Biomarine Complex makes them whiff a bit, but they're small enough to be swallowed whole.
