Skin & Vitamins

Taking care of your skin should be an important part of your health regimen. The skin is the largest organ of the body. The skin and its derivatives (hair, nails, sweat and oil glands) make up the integumentary system.
One of the main functions of the skin is protection. It protects the body from external factors such as bacteria, chemicals, and temperature.

Making sure you get enough amount of vitamins can keep your skin looking youthful and healthy. This could really improve the condition of your skin and translate it to a reduction in:

  • dark spots
  • redness
  • wrinkles
  • rough patches
  • excessive dryness

Some research suggests that some vitamins might play a key role in skin health. In many cases, these vitamins are most effective when a person applies them directly to the skin. A healthy, balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrient may improve skin health by boosting overall health.

The sunshine vitamin – Vitamin D

The epidermis is the major source of vitamin D for the body. Under the influence of sunlight (ultraviolet radiation) 7-dehydrocholesterol in the epidermis is converted to vitamin D.

Vitamin D and calcium are often used in the same sentence because they work closely together, vitamin D’s primary role is to control the levels of calcium found in the bloodstream by constantly allowing calcium and phosphate absorption from the intestine or taking calcium from bones. Furthermore, vitamin D is an enabling agent that, when present in optimal concentrations, has no perceptible effect on calcium absorption in its own right.

There are only 3 known sources of vitamin D; sunlight, diet, and vitamin D supplements.

Vitamin D is most often made when sunlight is absorbed by your skin. Cholesterol converts to vitamin D when this happens. Vitamin D is then taken up by your liver and kidneys and transported throughout the body to help create healthy cells.

Vitamin C & Skin

Vitamin C is found at high levels in the epidermis. Epidermis the the outer layer of skin, as well as the dermis which is the inner layer of skin.

Vitamin C is know for its antioxidant properties, and it plays a major role in collagen production. Vitamin C helps keep your skin in a healthy condition. This is why vitamin C is one of the key ingredients found in many antiaging skin care products.

To look after your skin take vitamin C orally and don’t forget to apply sunscreens for protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. It does this by decreasing cell damage and helping the healing process of bodily wounds. Vitamin C is know for its anti-ageing properties because of its vital role in the body’s natural collagen synthesis. The main cutaneous collagens are types I and III, which are less synthesized with aging. Vit C is one of the main promotors of collagen formation but it poorly bypasses the epidermis stratum corneum barrier.

This vitamin helps to heal damaged skin and, in some cases, reduces the appearance of wrinkles.  Vitamin C intake can also help repair and prevent dry skin.

Vitamin E & Skin

Vitamin E like Vitamin C is an antioxidant. It plays an important role in our skin – its main function in skin care is to protect against sun damage. When Vitamin E is applied to the skin, it absorbs the harmful UV light from the sun. Photoprotection minimizes the damage caused by UV rays in our skin. The right amount of Vitamin E can help finr lines, discoloration and wrinkles.

Vitamin E normally is produced in our body through sebum. In the right balance, sebum helps keep the skin conditioned and prevents dryness. If you have particularly dry skin, vitamin E can possibly help counteract a lack of sebum. Vitamin E also helps in the treatment of skin inflammation.

While vitamin E is available in many skin care products. To incorporate it into your skin care routine, look for products that contain vitamin E. Labels typically list it as tocopherol or tocotrienol. Remember that the effect of Vitamin E could be minimized upon sun exposure. It is important to get vitamin E as well from your diet. Good sources of Vitamin E in your diet are nuts and seeds.

Keep your skin healthy by delivering the vitamins to your skin

As vitamins are essential to your health and body functions, vitamin deficiencies can cause adverse effects on the skin. Since vitamins D, C and E play such important roles in protecting your skin from the sun, deficiencies in either vitamin effect the condition of your skin.
