When you want your skin to look younger, or you have skin trouble, the first thing that comes to your mind is to put some cream on it.  And sometimes it works, because a cream treats the symptom.  However, a cream almost never treats the cause.  Remember, that your skin is the reflection of what’s going on inside your body. So to keep your skin healthy, keep your body healthy.  Use such simple and proven ways as stress reduction techniques, drinking plenty of water, implementing sleep hygiene principles.  But sometimes it is not easy, sometimes even impossible.  How can you get rid of stress altogether? Can you go to sleep with sundown and get up with sunrise?
But what you can do easily is to get enough supplements and nutrients your body needs because of soil fertilizing.  This sounds easy doesn’t it? So what supplements are vitally important for your skin?
1.  Vitamin A, which stimulates skin cells turnover.  Getting enough of vitamin A will help your skin to look like a baby’s.  The interesting fact is, that the vitamin A derivate drug Tazorac, which is really good for skin treatments, cost 150 — 250 dollars a piece, while natural vitamin A costs a few dollars only.  Isn’t it fascinating?
2. Fish oil, which brings your cholesterol down, resulting in more nutrients in the blood for your skin.  There’s a recent study from Italy, which shows, that fish oil is more effective than the statin Crestor.  It took researchers more then 30 years to figure out, that cheap and safe natural fish oil is more effective than expensive and dangerous drugs.
3.  Zinc, which is responsible for healing.  Every day you damage your skin more or less. And this microtrama needs to heal.  Without zinc healing is no good.
4.  Vitamin B5.  Lack of it can cause dermatitis.
5.  Vitamin C: important because of its antioxidant properties and ability to maintain blood vessel structure.  A lack of vitamin C is well known as scurvy.
6.  Vitamin E removes free radicals, minimizing skin damage.
7.  Water, which is sometimes called the “forgotten nutrient”.  Giving your skin enough water makes you look and feel better immediately.
All of the supplements above are cheap.  Much cheaper than laser treatment or Botox or fillers. Not only this, but they are natural, easy to use and very effective for skin care.  They will make you look and feel younger at almost no cost to you. Don’t you think, that they are worth trying?
