Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It’s one of the first things people notice when they look at you (ask anyone who suffers from acne, they will definitely agree!) and your skin is one of the best indicators of your overall state of health and wellness.
Did you know that your skin is one of the first organs to demonstrate the signs of stress? When you are under a great deal of stress, it is likely that your skin will breakout, become oilier, or that it will show wrinkles and other signs of agining much more quickly. Did you know that prolonged stress will actually cause the skin to heal less quickly, resulting in a longer time for cuts and bruises to go away?
Improving your stress management will have positive effects on your [tag-ice]skin[/tag-ice].
Taking the time to eat right, sleep enough, and relax will benefit your skin.
The skin is the largest organ of the body and yet most of us don’t do enough to maintain our skin’s health. Americans spend millions on body products every month, but are they buying the right ones? How much do you really know about what your skin needs, what type of skin you have, what kind of soaps and lotions are the best for your skin?

| With all the talk about vitamin supplements and skin-nutrition, it’s important to know what vitamins to focus on if you want to keep your skin healthy, or, potentially, to repair skin damage.Â
While a diet allowing for all the vitamins is important for general good health, there are four main vitamins which specifically target the skin. They are Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E. Â
Good sources of vitamin A include the vegetables mentioned above, as well as milk, eggs, fortified cereals. Vitamin A is a key ingredient in many acne medications. But beware of too much Vitamin A- this can lead to liver damage, changes in skin texture, and headaches. |

Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It helps the body absorb iron and calcium. It’s crucial for healthy gums, teeth, bones, and blood vessels. In vitamin C deficient environments, wounds take longer to heal, and brain function also suffers. Good sources of Vitamin C include strawberries, red and green peppers, oranges, tomatoes, and spinach. |
