You’ve probably heard a lot about the importance of lecithin in your diet. This is one nutrient which is vital for beautiful skin.
There are many sources of lecithin, but the best, by far, is soybeans.
Lecithin is implicated in several of the body’s systems and a diet rich in lecithin will keep the body performing optimally.
For the skin, lecithin has been shown to diminish the brown/yellow circles around the eyes which are usually caused by excess fatty deposits.
Lecithin has been shown to aid those suffering from eczema, psoriasis, and acne. Lecithin acts to “plump” or puff the skin, which means it can be useful to combat the signs of aging. Aging skin tends to be thin and dry; lecithin can help combat these factors.
Lecithin has a body wide impact and should be taken in doctor recommended amounts. If you are troubled by brown or yellow eye circles, thinning or dry skin, check your diet for adequate lecithin.
It might just be the health boost you need.

The Mayo Clinic reports that smoking can greatly accelerate the normal aging process of your skin, leading to wrinkles. According to their research, skin changes from smoking can be seen in young adults who have been smoking for as few as 10 years.
Smoking causes constriction (narrowing) of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, which leads to decreased blood flow.
Less blood flow means the skin receives less oxygen and other nutrients (like vitamin A) which are important to skin health. Without the proper blood flow and nutrients, the skin loses strength and elasticity.
The repetitive facial expressions associated with smoking: pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — may contribute to wrinkles.
It may also be that repeated exposure to the heat from lit cigarettes may damage your facial skin over time.
If you are planning to stop smoking, the sooner the better. Your skin will thank you.
