Want Healthy Skin? Try Vitamins!
A youthful glow reflects healthy skin that has been well-nourished. Healthy skin can be accomplished with vitamin-enriched anti-aging cream products when your diet alone does not provide enough of certain vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants.
Here are some vitamins that can help make your skin healthy:
Vitamin C has been shown to reduce the damage caused by free radicals. Sun exposure, smoke, and pollution all contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, thus, leading to a wrinkled appearance and other signs of aging. Ingesting foods with a high concentration of Vitamin C, including citrus fruits and vegetables, and taking Vitamin C supplements of 500-1,000 mg are beneficial. Anti-aging moisturizing cream that contains Vitamin C will help achieve healthy skin by forming new collagen.
Vitamin E helps reduce sun damage to the skin, as well as reducing production of cancer-causing cells. It is also an effective way to reduce wrinkles and make the skin look and feel smoother. As an oral supplement more is definitely NOT better: take no more than 400 I.U. to avoid serious harmful side effects. When combined with Vitamin C in lotion form, Vitamin E is very useful in protecting against sun damage.
Vitamin A is necessary in maintaining healthy skin tissue. Fruits and vegetables are good sources of dietary Vitamin A. Used as a component in OTC anti-aging creams (retinol), or in prescription form for treatment of acne (Retin A), Vitamin A is notable for decreasing the amount of lines and wrinkles seen in the skin.
Vitamin B Complex, including the very important B vitamin, biotin, can be found in many foods such as bananas, eggs, oatmeal and rice. The body makes biotin too. Anti-aging creams that contain B vitamins contribute to healthy looking, well-hydrated skin. It is useful in lightening dark spots as well.
Vitamin K, when used as a cream, is most valuable in reducing the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. It becomes even more beneficial when used in a formula that combines it with Vitamin A.
