Nutrients for Healthy Skin

A good daily regimen  with chemical peels is essential in a healthy skin routine, but what about type of nutrients we should be consuming for our skin within. That plays a vital role too. The skin is one of the most powerful indicators of health. Wrinkles, dry or oily skin, acne, and inflammation all are signs of poor internal health. We often forget oral consumption of mineral and vitamins are just as important as topic treatments. Skin reacts particularly well to certain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that nourish the skin, making it appear youthful and healthy. The following nutrients are among the very best to consume for healthy, young-looking skin:

• Silica is a trace mineral that strengthens the body's connective tissues and is vital for healthy skin.
• Zinc is an important component of healthy skin, especially for acne sufferers. Zinc acts by controlling the production of oil in the skin, and may also help control some of the hormones that create acne.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids for dry, inflamed skin or skin that suffers from the frequent appearance of whiteheads or blackheads can benefit from supplementing with essential fatty acids (EFAs), especially omega-3s. EFAs are responsible for skin repair, moisture content, and overall flexibility.
• Selenium is an antioxidant mineral responsible for tissue elasticity as it can protects the skin from damage from excessive ultraviolet light.
• Vitamins C, E and A are significant too. Vitamin C is highly effective at reducing free radical damage, such as that caused by overexposure to the sun or pollution. Free radicals consume collagen and elastin - the fibers that support skin structure - and can cause wrinkles and other signs of premature aging. Vitamin C is especially effective at protecting the skin from overexposure to the sun as well as vitamin E which is very healing and repairing.
