Your skin is your largest organ, so it pays to take care of it and that means getting the proper vitamins. Just like your body needs vitamins, so does your skin and that includes Vitamins A, D, E, K, and F for proper nutrition and to have the smooth, glowing, and youthful skin you desire.
The best way to feed your skin the nutrients it needs is to eat a nutrient-rich diet and use skincare products naturally rich in Vitamins A, D, E, K, and F.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A keeps your skin moisturized, helps it heal, and prevents acne. It’s what gives your skin the healthy glow and keeps it looking young. So how can you get it?
- Eat plenty of leafy greens, carrots, sweet potatoes, and eggs
- Use products rich in Vitamin A, including creams or serums that enrich your skin’s surface, creating a smooth, healthy surface
Vitamin D
Did you know your skin has a metabolism? Similar to the metabolism of our digestive system, your skin’s metabolism is what helps your skin repair itself and continually grow. It’s what helps your skin have that smooth, youthful appearance rather than succumbing to wrinkles and damage from the free radicals. Without adequate Vitamin D, you may experience skin inflammation and little cell turnover.
Ways to get Vitamin D:
- Eat plenty of vitamin-fortified milk and cereal, and consume fish such as salmon and tuna
- Use creams rich in Vitamin D to fight inflammation and help fortify your skin
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps keep your skin smooth by protecting it from the environment’s free radicals, especially the sun’s UV rays. In fact, one of Vitamin E’s main jobs is to protect your skin from the sun’s damage, such as dark spots and wrinkles.
Ways to get Vitamin E:
- Eat sunflower seeds, almonds, and spinach
- Take a multi-vitamin with Vitamin E
- Use products rich in Vitamin E to protect the skin, moisturize it and fight the signs of aging
Vitamin K
If you’re tired of dark spots, dark circles under your eyes, and scars, your skin needs more Vitamin K. It helps speed up your skin’s healing powers by empowering your body’s blood clotting abilities.
Ways to get Vitamin K:
- Eat kale, spinach, lettuce, and cabbage
- Use rich creams with Vitamin K to help the skin heal, scar less, and look smooth
Vitamin F
Vitamin F is the fatty acids your skin needs. Just like your body needs good fat, so does your skin. The fat helps build a strong exterior to your skin, which helps fight the damage free radicals and water loss causes, helping your skin stay smooth and supple.
Ways to get Vitamin F:
- Eat almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts
- Use creams rich in Vitamin F to help keep your skin moisturized
Vitamins A, D, E, K, and F are all amazing for your skin. While you can get them in many foods, supplementing your skin with products containing the vitamins helps strengthen your skin, giving it the smooth, healthy, and youthful appearance you desire.
