Esthetician Students: Vitamins Good for Skin

    There are so many good vitamins on the market that benefit not only our skin, but our bodies in general. Many vitamins can be found in our foods, but that is assuming we are eating the right foods, and enough of those foods to absorb the vitamins. I don't know about you, but I know I am not eating perfectly enough to absorb all these beneficial vitamins. While we estheticians are not doctors, we certainly can benefit from learning all we can about vitamins that benefit the skin to pass along to our customers. It is important that clients maintain a healthy lifestyle because all of the skin care products in the world can't change skin that has been nutritionally depleted. Our skin is a reflection of our internal health in conjunction with our environment. Here is a look at some of the best vitamins for skin health.

     Fish Oil is one of those vitamins that slow inflammation, reduce cancer rates and help with cholesterol numbers. It benefits the skin and reduces acne inflammation, and helps smooth wrinkles out. Vitamin B-12 helps with cholesterol, heart disease, brain function and it is essential to skin cell turnover. Vitamin D  helps keep bones strong, reduces inflammation, and  helps with skin conditions like Psoriasis.
