Viva vitamin!

IF you are looking for glowing skin, include these vitamins in your diet

SELENIUM

 

VITAMIN A: Helps prevent dry, flaky skin because the vitamin is necessary for the maintenance and repair of the skin tissue. Found in animal sources such as liver, eggs and salmon, and fruits like tomato.

VITAMINS B: Vital for maintaining healthy skin. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) keeps skin well-nourished and rosy by helping to keep our blood circulation normal. Beans and legumes are packed with Vitamins B.

VITAMIN C: An antioxidant that helps to minimise the damage caused by free radicals which can damage the skin's cell structure. This damage can break down collagen that is predominantly found in younger skin. Eat peppers, broccoli and dark, leafy greens.

SELENIUM: Our skin will also benefit from selenium, copper and zinc from food sources such as whole grain cereals, seafood, eggs, oysters and lean meat. Selenium and copper have been found to help reduce the formation of sunburn cells in our skin.
