The purpose of the skin is to act as a barrier. It serves
to prevent bacteria, viruses and other contaminants from
entering the body and causing infection, illness and disease.
There are many vitamins and minerals that help to keep
skin healthy and thus be able to serve its vital role
in the protection of the body.
Antioxidant vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin
C and Vitamin E are very important to healthy
skin because it is these vitamins that share in the responsibility
of controlling the damage that free radicals byproducts
of energy production within the body and of environmental
contaminants such as air pollution produce.
Among the several types of damage done by free radicals
is the destruction of collagen and elastin which are fibers
that support the skin and keeps it looking supple. As
these are damaged wrinkles and a lack of that youthful
firmness can occur. Vitamin C also plays
a part in the production of collagen making
it essential to the function and look of the skin. Recent
studies have found that Vitamin C and E used together
may help to repair sun-damaged skin.
Vitamin A has its own important role
in skin health and beauty in addition
to its anti-oxidant properties. In terms of diet even
small deficiencies can negatively affect the skin causing
flakiness and dryness. Dryness can make lines and wrinkles
that are much more apparent.
Its primary use however, is as a topical solution for
the treatment of severe acne and the
reduction of lines and wrinkles themselves.
Recent research has showed that a topical solution that
contains both Vitamin A and Vitamin C can in some cases
reverse the damage done by the aging process and by sun-damage.
Deficiencies in the Vitamin B complex
can leave the skin prone to cracking, bleeding
and dangerous skin lesions that allow all kinds
of bacteria, viruses and other contaminants to easily
enter the body. But in terms of strictly cosmetic concerns
even a little shortage of the Vitamin B complex can result
in scaly and poorly textured skin. Topical preparations
have been found to play an important role in the hydrating
of skin cells leading to noticeably firmer and healthier
looking skin.
Vitamin K has been found to relieve
those awful dark circles under the eyes.
Some research has found that creams made up of both Vitamin
K and Vitamin A are more effective than those that just
contain Vitamin K but researchers are still following
up on
these results.
Minerals important to the look and to the health of the
skin include selenium, copper and zinc. Selenium whether
used as a topical solution or taken in the form of a dietary
supplement is thought to play a big role in the prevention
of skin cancer. Copper, zinc and Vitamin C work
together to form elastin which helps to support
skin keeping it firm and healthy.
Topical solutions and dietary supplements can help to
keep the skin healthy and youthful in appearance. However,
it is important to recognize that these are powerful substances
and using them within the standard guidelines of dosage
is essential to good health. There is such a thing as
too much of abusing such natural healing powers which
could then result to a not so pretty sight. But when used
correctly however, your skin can look better than ever.
