Skin is the largest organ of the body. It defends against disease and infection, regulates temperature and also helps in vitamin production. Keeping the skin healthy is very important for beauty and general health, so many people are interested in how to keep the skin healthy.


The best way to keep skin healthy – young, clear, glowing, supple, soft and wrinkle-free – is to stay out of the sun.

Ultraviolet rays from the sun bring about a healthy-looking tan, but can do a lot of damage to the skin in terms of pigmentation, sunburn, and loss of elasticity.  These can lead to premature aging in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, dark skin, uneven skin tone, loss of transparency, enlarged pores and dryness.  Even the best genetics, skin lightening treatments, and oral skin supplements will be of no use if one does tennis relentlessly and regularly.


 Staying out of the sun helps, but if you can't avoid it, you need to make sure you use sunscreen.  This is especially important if the sun exposure is for a long period of time.


 Assuming we're already smart about sun exposure, how can we further improve our skin's condition?  We know that some oral supplements are effective for good skin health, but which supplements are they and how effective are they?


 Supplement from within


 The first group would be vitamins and minerals, which are essential for the proper functioning of every organ.


 Vitamins and minerals that can affect skin health include the B-complex, especially B1 B2 and B12.  Marked deficiencies of vitamins B1 and B2 cause specific forms of dermatitis (a type of skin inflammation).  B12 deficiency is particularly harmful to neurons and rapidly dividing cells, including skin cells.


 In addition to B vitamins, vitamin C, iron and copper deficiency also affects skin health.  All three are important for the synthesis of collagen, an important structural protein in the skin, which fills the skin and gives it color.


 Vitamin A is important for the normal life cycle of skin cells.  Vitamin A deficiency causes dry, sensitive and wrinkled skin.  On the other hand, excessive consumption of vitamin A can cause serious toxicity and should be avoided.


 Vitamins C and E, and beta-carotene are touted as antioxidants that reduce free radicals.  (Free radicals result in skin degeneration and aging.) However, although the role of free radicals and antioxidants is beyond doubt, clinical findings have not conclusively proven whether additional vitamins and  Other nutrients improve skin quality and prevent the aging process.


 Overdosing can be just as harmful as underdosing, so it's best to stick to the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).


 Circumstantial support


 Oral supplements should be combined with topical applications – sunscreens of at least SPF 30, creams (preferably with skin-lightening agents) and moisturizers (preferably with skin-lightening agents).  ).  Compared to topical applications, the effects of oral supplements are slower and more subtle.  Users should be realistic about their expectations as results will definitely not be visible in 7 days or 2 weeks.


 We recommend a holistic approach to skin health, including:


  A healthy balanced diet that includes all food groups as well as vitamins, minerals and micronutrients.


  Keep a happy positive mood.  It's well documented that certain skin conditions — such as acne and eczema — are more common in stressed people.
