Four Vitamins to Up Your Skincare Routine

Your skin is your bodies largest organ, and it’s a reflection of your overall health. Needless to say, taking care of your skin can be complicated. When it seems like no amount of topical products will give you “perfect” complexion, it may be time to go inwards. How is your lifestyle contributing to your skin concerns? How is your diet helping you achieve that glow? 

Often times, our body is trying to tell us something. But with so much going on, it can be hard to listen. Taking daily vitamins is a simple way of making sure that your body is getting the minerals it needs to operate at its best. Here is a list of four vitamins and supplements we swear by:

1) Evening primrose oil

The fatty-acids found in this oil is essential in keeping the skin hydrated, and can be taken in a pill form. It also helps control hormonal flare ups, which can reduce acne and congested skin, and contains gamma-linolenic acid, which the skin uses to cleanse, repair and regenerate itself. If you struggle with cystic acne, this maybe a helpful supplement for you, as It can help reduce inflammation and keep the hormones that activate oil production in the skin under control. 

2) Omega 3-6-9

This vitamin will help with the collagen and elasticity of your skin. It’s also useful in preventing skin conditions such as psoriasis, allergies and acne, and can help protect your skin from sun damage.

3) Vitamin D

Taking vitamin d supplements is especially important for those with more melanin in their skin. This vitamin helps destroy free radicals that could otherwise cause damage to your skin, and it optimizes the body’s immune system.

4) Multivitamin

If you aren’t already taking a multivitamin, we recommend starting with one for overall health benefits. It’s a small adjustment that can make a world of difference in your skin, and your energy levels.

Most importantly - remember to be gentle with yourself, and make time or movements that nourish your body.
