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 is one of the better-known anti-oxidants in use
today. It 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, one of the fat-soluble antioxidants, 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 to repair and maintain healthy skin
tissue. If a person lacks the proper amount of this
vitamin, the complexion may become dry and flaky. To avoid
this, eat foods that are rich sources of vitamin A, such as
fruits and vegetables. Besides getting vitamin A from
dietary sources, applying it externally is also helpful.
This can take the form of lotions and creams. 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. This nutrient
helps form nail, skin, and hair cells. A deficiency in
this important nutrient may result in inflamed skin,
itchiness or dermatitis. 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.
