Can The Right Vitamins Make Me Look Younger?

As people start getting older, the skin may show signs of aging. Lack of collagen can lead to dry, sagging skin. And sun damage can lead to wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven complexion. But do vitamins make a difference? Some supplements may lead to more youthful skin.

ReNue Rx What Supplements Should I Take For More Youthful Skin?

Ingredients to reverse sun damage

Skin creams that claim to turn back the hands of time often don’t have much evidence. However, a few specific ingredients can be protective against the sun. Vitamins C, E, and selenium have been proven to make a difference. Add more of these minerals to a daily diet by eating whole grains, seafood, dairy products, and citrus fruits. If changing the diet isn’t making enough of a difference, speak with a healthcare provider about taking a supplement.

Plump up with collagen

Collagen is sometimes called the fountain of youth ingredient. Collagen is crucial for keeping skin full and smooth. Some research found that taking 2.5g of collagen daily can significantly increase skin elasticity and hydration. Another study where women took the same amount of collagen showed a significant improvement in eye wrinkles. Speak with a healthcare provider about taking collagen powders or capsules.

Increase your B vitamins

The vitamins in the B complex family are known to improve the appearance of hair, skin, and nails. Specifically, biotin and niacin can pack a punch. A biotin deficiency can cause itchy, scaly skin or even hair loss. Niacin can reduce inflammation. In higher concentrations, skincare products that contain niacin can help smooth out uneven skin tone and increase moisture retention.

Not just for colds

Zinc can go a long way in boosting health. The mineral is known for increasing immunity. But zinc can also improve the skin. In fact, acne can sometimes even be caused by zinc deficiency. Zinc can be found in lean meat, poultry, and oysters. Some people, particularly those who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, may have a zinc deficiency. There is such a thing as too much zinc, so speak with a healthcare provider before starting a new supplement regimen.

What else can I do for that youthful glow?

Besides consuming the right nutrients, proper skincare is crucial for a youthful glow. Perhaps the most essential step in a skincare routine is putting on sunscreen daily. Not only does sunscreen protect against skin cancer, but the ingredient also prevents wrinkles and fights against sunspots. People should take care to wash the face twice a day with a gentle cleanser and use a good moisturizer. For more skincare tips and supplements, speak with a dermatologist, pharmacist, or another healthcare provider.
