Vitamin A is essential to keep skin’s elasticity, prevent dryness, wrinkles and aging of the skin. A person deficient in vitamin A will have flakiness, itching and possibly pimples. Vitamin A can be found in meat, milk, cheese, eggs, spinach, carrots, squash and broccoli.
Of the vitamin B complex group, biotin is the most important for healthy skin. It is available in bananas, eggs, oatmeal and rice. The body also produces biotin.
Vitamin C keeps skin well-toned. A deficiency can cause wrinkles and skin discoloration. As skin ages, more vitamin C is essential to maintain elasticity. Broccoli, kale, cabbage, strawberries and cantaloupe are all full of Vitamin C.
Vitamin E restores moisture to skin and slows the aging of skin cells. Vegetable oil, green leafy vegetables and nuts are good sources of vitamin E.
Iron transports oxygen in the blood to hair and skin. Magnesium helps the absorption of other vitamins and minerals. Zinc helps prevent sagging and wrinkles.

The Iowa Women’s Health Study, which has been investigating the health habits of 34,000 women for nearly 20 years, named apples as one of only three foods (along with pears and red wine) that are most effective at reducing the risk of death from heart disease among postmenopausal women. Other massive studies have found the fruit to lower risk of lung cancer and type 2 diabetes—and even help women lose weight.
Eat an apple as an afternoon snack with a tablespoon of peanut butter (think protein), or add slices to sandwiches or salads.
Just because you can’t pronounce an ingredient that is included in your lotions doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing. Case in point …Butyrospermum Parkii. Sounds scary, doesn’t it? It’s the formal name for Shea Butter, an ingredient extremely beneficial for your skin. How about Tocopherol? Sound like a chemical? It’s not, it’s Vitamin E. Ascorbic Acid, that certainly can’t be good for your skin. Wrong again. Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C.
So just because you can’t pronounce an ingredient on a label doesn’t mean it’s not good for you. Educate yourself (of which you doing are by reading this!) and become familiar with ingredients and their formal names. Since your skin absorbs up to 94% of what’s put on it (and processes through your body, into your liver), you should know what what you are putting on it.
Conversely, if you see the word Paraben on a label …walk away. Parabens = Bad. For more on Parabens and other toxins,visit out website.
Sunlight is a natural mood booster that when combined with a little fresh air, will give you a burst of energy. Experts recommend that you receive about 20 minutes of direct sunlight each day to meet your vitamin D requirements. Beware, however, as more sun exposure than 20 minutes can be harmful to skin. Be sure to wear an SPF if your skin will be exposed to sunlight for more than 20 minutes.
