Which Vitamin Is Good For Skin & Where Can You Get Them
When it comes to skincare, there’s no one vitamin or nutrient that’s the best for skin. In fact, where skin is concerned, providing it with the right combination of ingredients is key. Because it’s external, it’s easy to forget that the skin is an organ – the largest one in our body – and just like any other organ, it needs the right nutrition to keep it looking healthy and functioning the way it should.
For radiant-looking skin from the inside out, you should be eating:
Vitamin A – found in carrots, sweet potato and mango.
Vitamin C – found in citrus fruits, kale and kiwi.
Vitamin E – found in nuts, seeds and avocado.
Selenium – found in Brazil nuts, eggs and seafood
Zinc – found in oysters, red meat and lentils.
It’s not just about what you put inside your body, though. The skin can also absorb certain nutrients when they are applied topically, so establishing the right skincare routine with the right products is just as important. Ingredients that are rich in skin-loving nutrients include:
Marula oil – rich in vitamins C and E and oleic acid for hydrated, plump-looking skin.Safflower seed oil – rich in magnesium and vitamin B6 to retain skin elasticity.
Evening primrose oil – rich in gamma-linoleic acid for smooth, soft skin texture.
Argan kernel oil – containing squalene to aid oil absorption and prevent greasiness.
Jojoba oil – rich in iodine to help balance surface skin sebum and reduce the appearance of pores.
Sesame seed oil – containing vitamin E to help to protect the skin against the damaging effects of environmental stressors.
