Many aestheticians today, after the cosmetic treatment is done, recommend to their customers that they take better care of their overall health and think about the skin nutrition that comes from the inside as well. This means that it is not enough to use topical products and have facials, the skin needs to be nourished from the inside with a proper, healthy diet and the use of supplements. Some supplements are especially important for the skin and their intake really makes the difference when it comes to beautiful, radiant complexion.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha Lipoic Acid or ALA is an important antioxidant. Antioxidants are important because they prevent oxidative stress, which is damage done to the cells by free radicals present in toxins and pollutants. ALA is soluble in water and fat and in addition it recycles the other antioxidants after they have neutralized free radicals.
Co Enzyme Q10
Another important antioxidant for the skin is water-soluble Co Enzyme Q10. It neutralizes free radicals and increases the production of adenosine triphosphate, which has the ability to fix cell damage.
Vitamins
The most important vitamins for the skin are vitamins A, C and E. Because they are so important for the skin they usually come together as a combination in multivitamins. These three powerful antioxidants work in synergy to nourish, protect and repair the skin.
Vitamin A restores the strength of the skin and its connective tissues, thus preventing wrinkles, and it is also important for prople who have problems with hyper-pigmentation.
Vitamin C improves circulation, which is important for the skin because a healthy blood flow is sure to bring all the important nutrients to the skin cells. This vitamin is also used to brighten the skin and to give it a healthy, beautiful glow.
Vitamin E is essential for providing sufficient moisture to the skin, it protects it and helps it heal when it is damaged.
Vitamins of the B complex provide energy and increase metabolism of the whole body, and as for the skin, they prevent dryness and problems with acne. They are also very helpful for balancing the skin during hormone level fluctuations caused by menstrual cycle.
Omega Fatty Acids
People who do not eat enough fish, nuts or olive oil should consider taking Omega Fatty Acids supplements, because their skin really needs them to stay beautiful. They replenish the skin, give it a more youthful look, control oil secretion and prevent dehydration. The regular intake of Omega Fatty Acids is guaranteed to delay the signs of aging.
All these nutrients are best if consumed through food. If taken in form of supplements, it is always better to choose capsules and not tablets, because capsules dissolve much better in the digestive system and their absorption is more complete.
