Vit E.

Answer 2

Here is a website that briefly covers a few options concerning natural tactics to take if suffering from acne. ( I don't know if your skin would be clarified as having acne, but I opted for that in a search...)

You could also try going to your local health food store ( Natures, New Seasons, etc. ) and asking someone with a greater knowledge of vitamins and skincare.You might even be able to find a product that's composed of more natural ingredients.

Good luck.

Your skin is unusually dry and rough. You have blackheads and whiteheads. You are probably lacking sufficient vitamin A. You could also be suffering from the deficiencies in iron, iodine and the B Vitamins. Adequate amounts of protein and vitamin C are also important.

The vitamins of the B group are important in producing beautiful skin.

Vitamin B1 aids skin health by helping to keep the circulation normal.

Vitamin B2 or riboflavin deficiency can lead to brown pigmentation, or liver spots on the skin. These ugly spots usually disappear if generous amounts of vitamin B2 are given over a period of six months. Severe riboflavin deficiency can lead to oily skin and hair and small deposits of fat under the skin of the cheeks and forehead and behind the ears. More severe deficiency of riboflavin causes the skin under the nose and at the comers of the eyes and mouth to crack and become sore.

Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine deficiency can result in dermatitis or eczema.

Niacin deficiency can also cause an eczema type of skin eruption with brown pigmentation, largely on the face, forearms and legs.

Deficiency of pantothenic acid, para-aminobenzoic acid, and biotin: This also leads to types of eczema. The symptoms will go away completely when these vitamins are generously added to the diet.

It is clear that Vitamin B plays a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy skin. So, diet that is rich in Vitamin B can go a long way in skin health. One of the important food in this connection is brewer's yeast. Even the person whose skin seems smooth and healthy usually notices improvement in texture and glow, a week after adding two or more tablespoons of brewer's yeast to the daily diet. Persons with eczema should, for an entire month, take a tablespoon of yeast stirred into citrus juice or water after each meal, between meals, and before retiring. If the diet is adequate in all other respects, the eczema is usually cured in a month 's time.
Anemia and Pale Skin: Anemia results from lack of protein, iodine, calcium, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, cobalt, copper, and iron. Take diet rich in Vitamin B. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are especially important.

Two vitamins in particular are good for our complexion. Shall we say our faces' best friends? Those two partners are vitamins A and D. Vitamin A helps keep the skin moist by preventing it from flaking, scaling and premature aging. Without enough vitamin A there is a pile up or clog of keratin and wastes which plug the pores and oil sacs to form blackheads and pimples. This affliction, acne, strikes, if at all, during adolescence when glands and hormones are struggling to bring the body in a balance. You can try ever astringent, mudpack, salve, ointment soap, or home remedy, but if you are lacking this vitamin, you will have acne.

Good or bad complexions are inherited, but even bad complexions can be helped. Have you ever stopped and thought about how acne sufferers usually get some relief in the summer? Wonder why? Mysteriously, when the orchards and gardens bestow their abundance, we eat more fruit and get more of the sun and it's vitamin D. Our skin becomes clearer and more vibrant. With winter, however, the agony returns, coupled with stress and menstrual cycles. However most dermatologists today will incorporate sunbaths and vitamin A; it is vitamin A's job to keep all tissues of the body healthy.

Answer 4

Vitamin E i great for skin. Cocoa butter has a lot of Vitamin E in it, so you should invest in some of it. Also, I would take a daily multi-vitamin with Vitamin E in it.

Answer 5

Try B5, which is what the first link sells. There are several pieces that contribute to good skin: A, B (1, 2, 3, 5, & 6), C, E and things like chromium and zinc (which is also good to repair bruised or chafed skin).

I have troubles too, but my doctor said it was the part of me that makes folks like you want to have birth control that is causing mine. Good luck.

Answer 6

A good muti vitamin first, with a good amount of the B vitamins. Eating right & not sitting in the sun & always wearing sun screen.
