Best Vitamins for Healthy And Clear Skin

      Best Vitamins for Healthy, Clear Skin

                            

We can effortlessly spend thousands of dollars a year on skin care: cleansers, toners and moisturizers to wrinkle creams, concealers, day creams, night creams, and eye creams. All of this time and money is wasted if we do not look after our skin from the inside. Occupying some 20 square feet, the skin is the largest organ in the body. Like any other organ, it needs the right nutrients to function correctly.
Unlike the other organs of the body, we also expect our skin to look great. To find out what we need to put into our skin to make it look beautiful on the outside, we went to the people who have the most at stake when it comes to beauty, inside and out – supermodels. Let’s see what they have to say about the best nutrients for beautiful skin.

• Miranda Kerr won’t let a day go by without taking at least four teaspoons of coconut oil, on a salad, in her cooking or in green tea.

• Jessica Gomes, fresh fruit & vegetables, fish in the diet for omega-3 and fish oil supplement.

• Karlie Kloss – protein shakes with chocolate protein powder, almond milk and banana or blackberries.

• Supermodel Carolyn Murphy’s beauty secret? Drinking lots of water and then moisturizing. The Institute of Medicine recommends 12 eight-ounce glasses of water each day.

• Sleep – according to supermodels Hilary Rhoda and Tao Okamoto, getting enough sleep is the most important thing. Hilary aims for seven hours a night, while Tao, who would sleep for eight or nine hours if she could, settles for six or seven.

Advice from Elle.com is to make up a batch of Green smoothie with spirulina, flax oil, kale, frozen fruit and maca powder. Contains fiber, anti-oxidants and nutrients that stimulate the digestive system. Sip throughout the day and drink plenty of water!
Now, dig a little deeper and find out what nutrients are contained within these dietary secrets. Pretend you are designing an all singing, all dancing supplement that contains everything you need for perfect skin. What nutrients would you insist on putting into it? What are the best vitamins for your skin?
Vitamins

                                        

Vitamin A – Exposed as they are to the elements, the cells of the skin are in a constant state of renewal. As old or damaged cells slough off, new cells are being manufactured in the deepest layer of your epidermis. Vitamin A accelerates cell renewal and acts as a potent weapon in the fight against acne¹.

Vitamin D – Dietary vitamin D intake has been associated with a reduced risk of melanoma².

Vitamin E – Actually a group of molecules with similar structures, vitamin E offers protection against damage from ultraviolet radiation, inflammation and wound healing (Source: Linus Pauling Institute Micronutrient Information Center). See also PON1 below for more information about why vitamin E is one of the best vitamins for healthy skin.
Vitamin K – Vitamin K is used after surgery to help skin healing and reduce swelling and bruising (Source: WebMd).


Other important nutrients for healthy skin
Some of the best nutrients for healthy skin aren’t vitamins at all, but minerals and other nutrients such as antioxidants (which mop up those dreadful free radicals that you produce with every breath you take), as well as proteins, flavonoids, oils and herbal extracts.

Minerals
Selenium – This trace mineral protects the skin from free radical damage and may also offer protection against cancer. Brazil nuts are an excellent source of selenium; you need only consume four of these each day to get all the selenium you need. Other good sources include seafoods; specifically, salmon, tuna, crab, sardines, halibut, snapper, cod, oysters and shrimp. Lamb, light turkey meat, cooked beef and whole wheat pasta.
Copper – Copper boosts collagen production. Collagen is a very important protein which gives structure to your skin. If you are deficient in copper and your collagen production declines, your skin will eventually begin to sag.

Other important nutrients for healthy skin

Chamomile Extract – Chamomile is a herbal tea that is bursting with skin-boosting nutrients: apigenin, luteolin, and quercetin are all flavonoids. These, together with the volatile oils, alpha-bisabolol and matricin, contribute to chamomile’s antioxidant, antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, calming, soothing and healing the skin.

Coenzyme Q10 – This is a powerful antioxidant that the body is capable of synthesizing, although production decreases with increasing age. CoQ10 also participates in energy metabolism and in basic cell function. Good dietary sources of CoQ10 include liver and other organ meats, whole grains and fish (such as tuna and salmon).

Collagen – Hydrolysed collagen is massively popular and effective for strong and healthy hair, nails and skin.

Evening Primrose Oil – An oral preparation of evening primrose oil capsules (3 x 500 mg twice daily for 12 weeks) improved skin moisture, elasticity, firmness and fatigue resistance in a randomized, controlled trial (International Journal of Cosmetic Science).
Flaxseed Oil – Flaxseed oil reduces sensitivity to nicotine irritation, reduces scaling and roughness while promoting hydration of the skin.³
Hyaluronic Acid – Hyaluronic acid is used medically for the treatment of burns and chronic skin ulcers⁴.
