The skin protects us against all kinds of aggressions throughout our lives. Therefore, taking care of it should be part of our health routines.

 

Ensuring that we take all the necessary elements to improve the health of our skin, will not only strengthen our system but will make us look radiant. With this in mind, at Holland & Barrett we bring you 4 essential vitamins for the care of our skin.

 

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is present in many dairy products, some vegetables and meats. It is a very important element for our correct development and growth. It is also responsible for maintaining good vision, helps our immune system and our ability to reproduce.

 

Vitamin E

There are many foods that contain this vitamin, such as some nuts, vegetable oils or avocado. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects our skin against free radicals. It also contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system, keeping it strong against viruses, bacteria and other threats.

 

Vitamin D

We can obtain this vitamin while sunbathing, with foods such as carrots, mushrooms and fish oil, or through supplements. Vitamin D contributes to the preservation and proper functioning of bones, as it helps the body absorb the necessary calcium. It also plays a key role in the health of our nervous, muscular and immune systems.

 

Vitamin K

We consume it through vegetables such as kale, chard or mustard greens. Vitamin K is essential to help maintain proper clotting. Therefore, it helps the body heal wounds, bruises and surgeries.

 

All these supplements are available in the form of food supplements, which can be found in many pharmacies, parapharmacies and in some shopping centers.
