Beauty and skin care:
Vitamins and antioxidants:
Age takes its toll on our
skin, just as it does on other parts of our bodies. Exposure to sunlight and
oxygen throughout the years produces unstable molecules called free radicals,
which can cause inflammation, damage skin cells and ultimately increase the
risk of developing skin cancer.
No magic pill or supplement
can make you look 20 years younger, and the three key ways to ensure youthful
skin are to protect your skin from the sun, eat a healthy diet and not to
smoke.
Vitamins
and antioxidants for skin health
Certain vitamins and antioxidants
may help maintain skin health:
- Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is important for helping to keep skin healthy
- Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, helps protect cells and tissue and aids wound healing.
- Vitamin E helps to maintain cell structures and protect cell membranes.
- Selenium is a mineral that helps prevent damage to cells and tissues.
- Vitamins C and E, and selenium are antioxidants that may help protect skin from sun damage.
