According to Frauke Neuser, lead scientist and senior director, scientific communications at Olay, taking vitamins orally does not always make a difference that impacts skin conditions. That’s because taking vitamins doesn’t allow for the same targeted applications as skin care. If you consume a lot of vitamins, it will be distributed throughout the body and on the skin, not only to the face.
However, if certain nutrients are really deficient, the excess vitamins that have been consumed will be discarded. So, while taking supplements is not a straightforward way to get glowing, healthy skin, several studies have shown that vitamins are useful in preventing and treating certain conditions.
According to a 2019 study published in JAMA Dermatology, increasing the amount of vitamin A such as carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, eggs and fish in the diet can lower the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common form of skin cancer. Reporting from Allure, Saturday (14/11), the following are the best vitamins for the skin, namely:
Vitamin A is widely considered to be the most effective skin care ingredient. This vitamin comes in many forms, although the best known derivative is the over-the-counter retinol. It’s worth noting that vitamin A is the first vitamin the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved as a topical ingredient that actually changes the appearance of the skin’s surface. Vitamin A works by binding to receptors in skin cells, in turn strengthening the protective function of the epidermis, protecting collagen from degradation, and stimulating skin cell turnover. For the same reason, vitamin A is also a powerful acne killer.
