Vitamins for Skin Rejuvenation!

We all know that we need to eat our fruits and veggies daily for proper functioning but the standard diet is hardly guaranteeing that we are meeting our daily RDA. Consumers often have to supplement what they eat with various products that have vitamins and minerals to ensure positive well-being but did you know that the vitamins you take are doing more than making your immune system stronger? Vitamin C and E are two important vitamins you can take to help rejuvenate your skin.

Vitamin C is a good antioxidant so if you are suffering from skin damage due to sunlight or have dry skin or redness, consider adding it to your diet. The reason you often see Vitamin C in skincare products is because it plays a huge role in helping your body produce collagen, which will keep you looking younger. If you want to significantly impact how your sunscreen works, consider taking a Vitamin C supplement daily. Remember, Vitamin C is water soluble so too much of it will be flushed out when you urinate unlike Vitamin E.

Another vitamin that you see often in skincare products is Vitamin E. Studies have shown that Vit E may protect against aging effects by destroying free radicals which cause degeneration in skin and blood vessels. What does this mean? Basically, if your skin has the right balance of sebum, then dryness or skin inflammation will not occur but if you do, then perhaps it is time to increase your Vitamin E intake.

Vitamin E is also an antioxidant but it is a fat soluble vitamin so over consumption with supplementation is possible. An effective skincare product will usually have both Vitamin C and E as both provide benefits against sun damage, dark spots, and even wrinkles but to reap effective value from both vitamins a healthy diet consisting of Vitamin C and E is also necessary.
