Skin support is something we all think about. Our skin is important! It affects how we look, how we feel, and how we interact with the world, so it’s no wonder that we all want to support our skin as we age. While lotion and sunscreen can be vital parts of a skincare routine, healthy skin starts from the inside: nutrition, hydration, and essential nutrients all play roles in supporting skin health.†
Learn more about essential nutrients vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, biotin, and zinc, and the role they each play in supporting our skin health. A well-rounded skin care routine supports your skin with practical choices, such as hydration and essential nutrients. Discover how to take care of your skin with essential nutrients and healthy lifestyle habits.†
Skin is a living organ; in fact, it’s the biggest organ in the body! While skin is affected by age, genetics, and environment, it’s also influenced by nutrition, and it requires vitamins, minerals, and adequate macronutrients to be supported from the inside.
Topical care is an important part of many skincare routines, but it doesn’t end there. Considering nutrient needs through a balanced diet and supplements can help you support your skin health as you age. Got healthy skin on your mind? Understanding internal support is a great first step. To help with that, we’ll break down 5 key nutrients that support healthy skin, along with practical tips on how to have healthy skin support in your daily routine.†
When looking into skin health nutrients, just like with the alphabet, it’s best to start at the very beginning. Vitamin A is an essential vitamin that supports healthy skin by functioning as an antioxidant. Antioxidants help support your skin cells by pairing with free radicals, helping protect your cells from oxidative stress.†
Where might you get this vital vitamin? Certain vegetables provide a source of beta-carotene, a precursor that the body converts into vitamin A. These sources of beta-carotene include sweet potatoes, carrots, and leafy greens. You’ll find pre-formed vitamin A in animal sources like salmon, tuna, and beef liver.[1]
Vitamin C is another essential vitamin that plays a key role in supporting skin health. Vitamin C, like vitamin A, is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It’s also a necessary component in the body’s production of collagen. You might be familiar with collagen as a protein present in our skin. Supporting your vitamin C intake helps support your body’s collagen production, which helps support healthy skin.†
You can find vitamin C in citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers in your diet.[2] Nature Made also offers Vitamin C Supplements in a variety of doses and forms to suit your specific needs and preferences.
Vitamin E is another antioxidant that supports a healthy immune system, healthy skin, and healthy aging. Vitamin E is found in the primary layers of our skin, the epidermis and the dermis. In fact, vitamin E is the most abundant fat-soluble antioxidant found in our skin.[3]†
Where do we find this vitamin in our diet? Vitamin E is found mostly in plant-based foods, particularly nuts, seeds, and vegetable oil. Including foods like almonds, sunflower seeds, and leafy greens like spinach and broccoli can provide your body with a source of vitamin E.[3] Nature Made offers Vitamin E supplements in both dl-Alpha and the more bioavailable d-Alpha forms. Because vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, ensure you take these supplements with a meal, including a dietary fat to support proper absorption.†
Biotin, or vitamin B7, is a water-soluble essential vitamin that is found in eggs, nuts, seeds, and legumes, along with salmon, beef, and pork.[4] Biotin supports cellular energy metabolism, the process that converts the food we eat into energy our cells can use to perform their functions. It’s also a beauty nutrient that supports healthy hair, skin, and nails.†
Nature Made Biotin Softgels are a convenient way to support this hair and skin nutrient. You can also check out our Advanced Hair, Skin & Nails Gummies provide biotin, along with vitamins C and E, pro-retinol A▲ and niacinamide to support your beauty from within in just two daily gummies.†
Zinc is an essential mineral that our body needs to perform a number of functions: in addition to supporting healthy skin, it supports a healthy immune system and provides antioxidant support, helping protect cells from oxidative stress.†
Zinc can be found in our diet from oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, fortified cereals, and more.[5] However, 15% of American adults do not get enough Zinc from dietary sources.[6] Nature Made Zinc Gummies provide a daily source of 30mg of Zinc in two delicious fruit-flavored gummies.
Practical Tips to Support Healthy Skin from Within
How to get healthy skin? Supporting your skin health means taking care of it in a number of ways, within and without. A nutrient-rich diet that emphasizes foods for healthy skin to help care for your skin from within, but skin health support doesn’t stop there. Staying hydrated supports skin health, and adequate water intake is important to our overall wellness.[6,7]
Talking to a doctor, a trusted healthcare professional, or a registered dietitian can help you assess your diet and understand where you might not be getting sufficient nutrients. A supplement routine can help you bridge possible nutrient gaps.
Understand that lifestyle factors can also affect your skin health, including sleep and stress.[8,9] Take steps to support regular sleep and practice stress management techniques; both are important for more than just skin health. By practicing practical skin care habits, you can support your skin health as part of a daily wellness routine.
Adding supplements can complement a nutrient-rich diet to help support healthy skin as you age. Assess your diet and any potential nutritional gaps when seeking vitamins for skin health.
