Supplements for Your Skin

Although we all strive to maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet, sometimes getting all of the essential vitamins and minerals can be difficult. And when we don't get enough of them, the effects can begin to show, especially when it comes to our skin. As the largest organ in our bodies, it is crucial that we make sure our skin gets everything it needs to function properly. To help you with that, some of the biggest brands known for their amazing topical skin care products have come out with supplements that can be used to improve your skin from the inside out.

Perricone MD has put together several different supplements that can be used to prevent the signs of aging by using nature's most powerful nutrients. For example, their Vitamin C Ester utilizes the power of vitamin C, which is essential for reducing the damage caused by free radicals from sunlight, smoke, and pollution, to defer visible signs of aging by providing antioxidant protection and helping to smooth the skin's surface, giving you a more youthful glow. Their Alpha Lipoic Acid, one of the most powerful antioxidant supplements available, also works to defer the signs of aging by maintaining your cells' metabolic function so they can function at optimal levels. 

Suffering from acne? Try Murad's Pure Skin Clarifying Dietary Supplement, which reduces breakout by 55% in 6 weeks by using the power of vitamin A, which is essential for the maintenance and repair of the skin tissue. It also contains Zinc, which works to clear skin by taming oil production and builds resistance to skin irritation. 

And don't forget Kate Somerville's Total Vitamin Anti-Aging Supplements. This complete package comes with 2 types of miracle packets, one for the morning and one for the evening. The AM packet will give you vitamins A, C and E to support skin health, B complex to support healthy hair, skin, and nails, Broad Spectrum Antioxidant to fight free radicals, and flax seed oil to lubricate the skin. In the PM packet you'll find nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, boron, and vitamins D and K to support strong bones, more flax seed oil to hydrate the skin, and hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture.

So if you find yourself chowing down on a burger and fries for lunch, instead of vitamin enriched fruits and veggies, make sure you take your supplements to keep your skin looking beautiful!
