Skin Care – How Vitamins Influence The Skin’s Appearance

admin — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:44:15 +0000

It is basic knowledge that of all the food and nutrients that we consume that vitamins have by far the greatest impact on the health and appearance of our skins. Generally, good health is reflected in our skin – even conventional Chinese medicines and other more traditional practices judge our health through the appearance of our skin. A healthy skin is therefore reflective of a good diet. This is especially true if you consider that greasy and oily foods tend to aggravate the onset of acne and simple breakouts. The role of vitamins in our diet does not go unnoticed when it relates to our skin’s appearance and likewise its health. Basically, without the essential skin vitamins, the skin tends to take on an appearance of dryness and dullness.

Vitamin A is commonly associated with good skin because of its abilities as a good anti-oxidant. However, Vitamin A itself is the general term given to a group of molecules (alcohols and aldehydes) that can exist in either form under given circumstances. Carotenoids and retinol are other popular names for Vitamin A. It is one form of the carotenoid structure in particular (beta-carotene) that gives the group its anti-oxidant properties. An anti-oxidant is simply a molecule that can remove radical scavengers along the skin’s surface and thus help in the maintenance of youthful vibrant skin. In general, radicals are naturally produced by the body during is metabolism, but these radicals are highly reactive and have the tendency of attacking the skin’s cells – in particular being responsible for early signs of aging and wrinkles. As you could probably guess from the name carotenoid, carrots are among the food types rich in Vitamin A.

Vitamin B (in particular Vitamin B2 or riboflavin) too has the similar function of Vitamin A in terms of healthy skin promotion, only instead of itself being an anti-oxidant it is the catalyst for the reaction which produces anti-oxidants within the body. As a catalyst, its job is the speed up the rate at which the anti-oxidant is produced by creating the ideal conditions for the reaction within the body.

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is also an anti-oxidant, and is in fact one of the better known and better recognized anti-oxidants around today. But fighting off the harmful free-radicals is not the only function of Vitamin C – it is one of the essential components for the production of collagen tissues. Collagen is in fact the stuff that makes up our skin, so collagen regeneration means younger-looking and healthier skins.

Vitamin D is quite unlike all the other vitamins involved in healthy skin appearance, for it is one that is responsible for the healthy tan of the skin. Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin when exposed to sunlight, and is the reason for the healthy glow observed in the skin after brief exposures to the sun.

Finally, Vitamin E provides the function of an anti-oxidant. It is however one of the most powerful anti-oxidants used by the body in its constant battle against free-radicals.

How to Pick Beauty Skin Care Face Creams That Work

admin — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 20:42:10 +0000

Over the last years many skin care products have appeared in the market, some don’t work, others work a little and others are not even safe to use, so how do you choose the right beauty skin care cream? What are the ingredients that you have to look for?

First you need to know that as we age our skin loses some firmness and elasticity because our body decreases the production of elastin and collagen proteins. However free radical oxidation is also a major cause of skin damage and it is usually our fault because we do not protect our skin correctly and we have very unhealthy lifestyle.

So what you need to do is use a good skin care face cream that improves your skin at the cellular level but you also need to make some lifestyle changes to prevent the formation of wrinkles and premature skin aging.

The best creams that i have used are the ones that are made with natural ingredients like avocado extract, jojoba oil, manuka honey, grape seed oil, vitamin c, water and others. But there are also some potent natural compounds like cynergytk, CoenzymeQ10 and Wakame kelp that can do wonders for your skin.

On the other hand common creams use chemical ingredients and synthetic substances that are not healthy for your skin like parabens, petrolatum, alcohol, fragrances and mineral oil.

If you really want to improve the health of your skin from the inside out you need to use natural beauty creams, if you keep using the same products you will not get any long term benefit because those creams only work on the surface of your skin.

Really good natural creams can stimulate your skin collagen and elastin production, have potent anti oxidants and increase your hyaluronic acid. This way your skin will be protect it from free radicals and prevent the formation of the signs of aging.
