Vitamins And Minerals For Healthy Skin
The skin is the best indicator of what is going on inside of a person’s body. All skin conditions, from psoriasis to acne to aging, are manifestations of the body’s internal needs, including nutrition. If the skin is fed minerals and crucial vitamins from the inside and out, it is impossible not to benefit.
The best vitamins for the skin are vitamins C, A, E, K, and B complex. These help nourish the skin whether they are taken in supplement form, are applied directly to the skin through creams, or are eaten. In some form, the skin and the body need these vitamins and minerals so it is crucial that enough be consumed.
Vitamins C and E counter the effects of sun exposure. Vitamin C, when applied to the surface of the skin, can prevent the consequences of prolonged sun exposure. Basically, Vitamin C can be helpful in preventing skin cancer. When Vitamin C is supplemented with Vitamin E, it has been proven to reduce photodamage and wrinkles and to improve skin texture.
Vitamin A is also crucial to maintaining healthy skin. Without enough Vitamin A in a person’s body, the skin will become flaky or dry. Topical Vitamin A is the form that makes the biggest difference for skin. Various medical studies show a reduction in lines and wrinkles, good acne control, and some psoriasis relief. All of these benefits were obtained through a cream containing Vitamin A.
Vitamin B, particularly biotin, is an important vitamin that forms the basics of skin, nail, and hair cells. Without adequate amounts, a person may end up with dermatitis or even hair loss. Even a mild lack can cause symptoms.
Vitamin K helps blood clot and doesn’t do much for skin from the inside. Topical vitamin K works well to reduce circles under the eye as well as bruises. Skin treatments with vitamin K after laser surgery significantly reduce d bruising. When K is combined with A in a cream, the cream is effective for treating dark circles.
