Some of the most exciting news coming from the beauty industry is the power of nutrients and minerals to give skin a more radiant, healthy and youthful glow.
Creams and lotions you put on your skin are helpful no doubt, but the skin has to be fed from the inside for best results. Health experts say vitamins and minerals in all forms play an integral role in a healthy complexion.
When combined with a good diet, the right dietary supplements can help keep your skin looking not only healthy, but also years younger. These are many skin and hair nutrients that can be included as a supplement particularly when the body has been under stress, and all your nutritional needs have not been met. As a result skin and hair will suffer, and look dull and listless. Some of the essential nutrients that promote radiant and brighter looking skin include:
Vitamins C, E, A, K, and B complex can all help improve skin health.
Vitamin A helps repair and regenerate the skin. Zinc helps maintain the structural integrity of the nails, hair and skin
Silica is concentrated in all connective tissue including nails, hair and skin, where it contributes to collagen formation. Collagen serves as the structural framework for skin. Horsetail is a plant source of silica. Vitamin C is important in the production of collagen, it also helps to protect against degradation of collagen, and therefore slowing the aging process. Biotin and essential amino acids support elastin and collagen production. Beta-carotene and Vitamin E to help the skins natural defence against the sun.
Combining a beauty supplement with a good diet is most essential. As the old adage goes, to look young and naturally beautiful, you have to nurture your inside. Most fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidants and vitamins vital for good skin. Antioxidants are essential to help ward off free radicals that we encounter in our everyday lives, through smoking sunbathing, fried and junk food, infections, stress, radiation and polluted environments. All these elements make us age and by making sure we eat plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, we help slow down this process. Fruits such as the superfoods blue berries, black berries, strawberries, black plums, apples, red grapes are all rich in anti oxidants. Veggies are also great source of antioxidants, because almost all contain one or more of the following: vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and beta carotene, all hailed for having high antioxidant properties. Dark orange, red, yellow and green vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, red peppers and yellow peppers, are all excellent sources of beta carotene also known as Vitamin A. This helps rejuvenate and protect the complexion, and it promotes efficient skin cell regeneration - important in order to maintain the skin’s suppleness. It also works to block the sun’s UV rays we are exposed to when outside too long
So start now, feeding the skin from the inside to the out! A healthy diet and drinking plenty of water is always top of the list.Nutritional supplements are not to be used as a substitute for a balanced diet but complement a diet to improve general wellbeing.
