Skin damage and/or aging is often a result of oxidative stress to the cellular [lipid] membranes. To neutralize or reduce this process, one must increase the level of antioxidants (not synthetic supplements). But take note, antioxidants can only be had through fruits and vegetables; so focus on those containing lycopene (red in color). If you don't like tomatoes, strawberries, watermelon, etc., or can't get these fresh from the vine, check out Prevention Proof. I like their products because they're backed it up with credible research, not some doctor's endorsement who's also "on the payroll". Good luck!

Vitamin E is generally good for skin, beta Carotene is great if you burn easily, but you need to take quite a bit 1000mg a day would be plenty. Vitamin C is always worth taking!!

Vitamins A, E and C are anti-oxidants, which prevent premature aging. They work best if you take selenium ( a mineral) with them. The B vitamins ( B1, B6, and B12) are good for breakouts and for general stress management.

Cod liver oil has many benefits, including healthier skin. Drinking lots of water each day (about 8 glasses) also has many benefits for the whole body, skin included.
