The most important
Nutrients for the skin - so it looks radiantly beautiful

The skin is our largest organ and fulfills many important tasks. It forms a natural barrier against external influences such as UV radiation or harmful substances. It ensures that we can regulate our body temperature and our water balance. And it carries one of our five senses, our sense of touch.

The skin needs nutrients so that it can fulfill all these and many other tasks. An inadequate supply of nutrients can affect the skin’s balance. But which nutrients does the skin really need? And how can you provide them? You can find the answers here.

What nutrients does the skin need?

To keep your skin healthy and beautiful, it needs many different nutrients. But which ones exactly? Here are some of the most important skin nutrients:

• Vitamin A: This vitamin, which is important for the skin, is also called retinol or beta-carotene. It is important for the general maintenance of the skin.

• Vitamin C is an important antioxidant. It therefore protects the skin by rendering free radicals harmless. Vitamin C can also support collagen formation, which is important for firm skin.

• Vitamin E can also help to protect cells from oxidative stress.

• Like vitamin E and vitamin C, vitamin B2 (also known as riboflavin) is a free radical scavenger and protects the cells from oxidative stress. It can therefore also contribute to the preservation of the skin.

• Vitamin B7 (better known as biotin) is considered THE vitamin for skin and hair. It is most important for beautiful and radiant skin.

• Zinc: This mineral can protect our cells from oxidative stress and is not only important for our immune system, but also for our skin, hair and nails. It also plays an important role in cell division.

• Copper is an important mineral for our connective tissue and skin pigmentation. Copper also has an antioxidant effect. This creates the basis for firm and beautiful skin.

Don’t forget: Water as the basis for radiant skin

Sufficient fluid intake is essential for general well-being. Water is important for our bodily functions and helps our body to ensure that important vitamins and minerals get to where they are needed.

So make sure you drink at least two liters of water a day! If you exercise a lot or live in a hot climate, you need even more water.

How do you provide the skin with all the important nutrients?

There are various ways to provide your skin with the nutrients it needs. An intelligent combination is the best way to nourish your skin.

Balanced nutrition to support beautiful skin

The basis for a good supply of nutrients to the skin is a balanced diet.

• Eat as varied as possible and include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet!

• Legumes, nuts and seeds are also valuable foods with lots of skin nutrients.

Skin care with selected nutrients

You can also nourish your skin with skin oils, creams and other skin care products.

Tip: It is best to apply nourishing skin oils to slightly damp skin in the evening, as the skin regenerates overnight! During the day, moisturizing products and sun protection are important to protect the skin from UV rays and other harmful influences.
