We need certain vitamins and minerals that we unfortunately can’t always get from our diet. These nutrients help assist our bodies’ major functions, and our skin function is an incredibly important aspect of that.
Taking the right supplements can make a huge visible difference, immediately and over time. Stock up on these vitamins to give your skin all the attention it deserves, from the inside out.
Zinc
Zinc is necessary for both protein and nucleic acid synthesis, which play major roles in RNA (cellular messengers) and collagen production. In fact, zinc deficiencies can cause wounds to heal much more slowly and completely stunt collagen production. Zinc also aids in transporting vitamin A (which is essentially retinol) from the liver, and helps our body to metabolize Omega 3s for that supple look.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from sun damage and pollution by battling free radicals. Studies even show that it helps to absorb the radiation from UV light. It’s super anti-inflammatory also, making it incredible in your routine.
Resveratrol
We can’t get enough of this vitamin simply from drinking red wine. This supplement can reduce wrinkles, speed healing, and prevent photo-aging, making it a top supplement for regenerating skin that has already seen some age.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a form of retinol – all retinoic, acid-derived products are a form of vitamin A. This means it helps to speed healing, promote clarity, support the skin’s barrier function, and prevent fine lines and wrinkles by boosting cell turnover.
Quercetin
This special compound helps to minimize redness and discomfort in the skin, lower inflammation when the barrier has been damaged, and even help to restore barrier function. This means clearer skin that retains more moisture for a bouncy, glowy look.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is essential for the skin and can treat dryness, breakouts, psoriasis, eczema, etc. In fact, doctors used to prescribe laying out in the sun to help treat acne or eczema because the vitamin D we absorb from the sun’s rays has such a soothing, anti-inflammatory effect on those conditions. But, a supplement is just as good, too.
CoQ10
This mega supplement helps prevent aging on a cellular level by boosting cell metabolism. Studies show that it rapidly improves mitochondrial function and defends against oxidative stress. If aging skin is your concern, you want this one in your lineup, quickly.
