3 Supplements You Need to Be Taking for Brighter, Healthier Skin

3 Supplements You Need to Be Taking for Brighter, Healthier Skin

Vitamin C

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is an antioxidant that increases collagen production. High collagen levels make your skin more elastic, alleviate wrinkles and ensure your skin gets proper blood supply.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D promotes skin cell growth and skin repair. It also reduces wrinkles and fine lines, giving you a youthful look. Since getting vitamin D through sun exposure can be problematic, as a registered dermatologist, I strongly suggest you try its dietary supplements.

Vitamin A

Vitamin is an antioxidant that works like sunscreen. This means it offers protection against sunburn. What’s more, it helps the skin retain its natural moisture. Vitamin A is available in eggs, organ meats, berries, kale, and carrots. If you are on a vegan diet or find eating plant sources of this vitamin a difficult task, opt for the dietary supplements.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
