   The skin is the largest organ in the body. It protects against diseases and infections, regulates temperature, and aids in producing vitamins. Although most of us are interested in how to keep the skin healthy instead of keeping the skin healthy, keeping the skin healthy is very important for beauty and general health.

The best way to keep skin healthy – young, fair, radiant, smooth, supple, and wrinkle-free – is to stay out of the sun.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun bring a healthy-looking tan, but also cause a lot of damage to the skin in terms of pigmentation, sunburn, and loss of elasticity. These can lead to premature aging in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, dark skin, uneven skin tone, loss of clarity, large pores, and dryness. The best genetics, topical skin lightening treatments, and oral skin supplements do not provide much benefit from ruthless, regular tanning.

It helps to prevent sunburn, but if it can't be avoided, you should use sunscreen. This is especially important if the sun exposure is for long periods of time.

Assuming one already knows about sun exposure, how can we improve our skin condition? We know that some facial supplements are beneficial for good skin health, but what are these supplements, and how effective are they?

Support from within

The first group contains vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for the proper functioning of each organ.

Vitamins and minerals that can affect skin health include B-complexes, especially B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and B12 (cyanocobalamin). An apparent deficiency of vitamins B1 and B2 causes a special type of dermatitis (a type of dermatitis). B12 deficiency is particularly harmful to neurons, including skin cells and rapidly dividing cells.

Apart from vitamin B, vitamin C, iron, and copper deficiencies also affect skin health. All three are essential for the synthesis of collagen, the main structural protein in the skin that plumps and tones the skin.

Vitamin A is important for the normal life cycle of skin cells. A lack of vitamin A can cause the skin to become dry, brittle, and scaly. On the other hand, taking too much vitamin A can cause severe poisoning and should be avoided.

Vitamins C and E and beta-carotene have been identified as antioxidants that reduce free radicals. (Free radicals cause skin aging and aging.) However, although the role of free radicals and antioxidants is unquestionable, clinical results do not conclusively prove whether supplemental vitamins and other micronutrients improve skin quality and reverse the aging process.

Excess amounts can be just as harmful as deficiencies, so it's best to stick to the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA).

Temporary help

Oral supplements should go hand-in-hand with topical applications – at least SPF 30 sunscreens, creams (especially with skin-whitening agents), and moisturizers (especially with skin-lightening agents). Compared to topical applications, the effects of oral supplements are slower and more subtle. Consumers should be realistic about their expectations as results may not be seen within 7 days or 2 weeks.

We recommend a holistic approach to skin health that includes:

* A healthy balanced diet that includes all food groups, vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients.

* Keep a cheerful positive attitude. It's well-documented that certain skin conditions — like acne and eczema — are more common in people with depression.

* If you smoke, stop smoking. Smoke creates free radicals, damages the skin's microcirculation, and causes staining of teeth and other discoloration.

* Minimize sun exposure and use good sunscreen daily.
