What supplements and vitamins are best for dry skin?

What can cause dry skin?

Inappropriate nutrition is only one of a huge number of risk factors that can exacerbate the worsening of the skin condition. Dry and unaesthetic skin in many cases can be caused by, among others:

• genetic factors,
• progressive ageing process,
• failure to comply with safe sunbathing rules,
• excessive stress and adverse effects of free oxygen radicals,
• immunity problems and the adverse effects of oxidative stress,
• improper skincare and cleansing, e.g. after exhaustive training,
• adverse environmental (e.g. pollution) and climatic (e.g. extreme temperatures and low air humidity) conditions

Nevertheless, it is the daily diet that is the best way to ensure optimal conditions for the skin. Deficiencies of the appropriate vitamins result in the deterioration of the skin's condition. Therefore, supplements that contain the most important and best vitamins for dry skin will be good support for a varied diet.

Which vitamins should be included in the best supplements for dry skin?

The formula of supplements that support the treatment of dry skin should be comprehensive. The multidimensional formula will allow for the best results and will affect the recovery of the optimal skin condition. What vitamins should be included in such a product?

• vitamin A – shows properties that slow down the ageing process of the skin and supports the revitalization of the epidermis, improves skin firmness, hydration and tension, reduces discolouration and reduces the visibility of freckles.
• vitamin C – one of the necessary components contributing to the correct synthesis of collagen, which helps to maintain proper skin function; it is a strong antioxidant supporting the fight against free oxygen radicals.
• vitamin E – shows extremely valuable protective effects for cells (including skin) against oxidative stress, is often referred to as the strongest antioxidant in the human body.
• B group vitamins – riboflavin (B 2 ) deficiencies often result in excessive skin dryness, which can be linked to its properties controlling the epidermal regeneration processes; in turn, vitamin B 3 (niacin) plays a significant role in the skin hydration process.

In addition to the above, it is worth taking care of maintaining optimal levels of minerals, which can have a significant impact on the condition of the skin and connective tissue. Particular attention should be paid to such substances as zinc, iodine and copper.
