I know many of us have a resounding childhood memory of our parents reminding us to take our vitamins or eat our fruits and vegetables. Our parents had no idea how valuable that information would be. Our vitamins today not only help us continue to grow and remain strong but to enhance our hair, nails, and the most important-our skin. Here is a list of skin enhancing vitamins that the average fashionista needs for that luminous, dewy, healthy skin.
* Vitamin A: An antioxidant that promotes skin cell generation and acts as a mechanic for the skin and repairs damage. Found in liver/liver oils, green veggies, and yellow fruits.
* B-2 (Riboflavin): Acts as an oxygen mask for the skin and encourages the skin tissue to breath.
Found in whole grains, nuts, poultry, egg yolks, and fish
*Vitamin C: An antioxidant that is essential to collagen production and formation. Vitamin C also assists with the healing of wounds and bruises. Found in citrus fruits, green veggies, and berries
*Vitamin E: The Ultimate healer!! Vitamin E reduces scarring from abrasion, promotes healthy skin, and helps to maintain moisture levels in the skin. Found in dark leafy greens, whole grains, nuts, and seeds
There are other vitamins that are needed to help keep our skin fabulous but these are the essentials. So grab a bag of trail mix, a chef salad, a cup of orange juice and toast to healthy, beautiful skin!
As Always, Be Fashionable, Be Fabulous!
