Beauty Tip: Preventing Acne - Take your vitamins!

Vitamins don't just benefit overall health, they also benefit skin in particular. Add sufficient amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, as well as Beta Carotene and Zinc to your diet for skin benefits. Among other things, these antioxidants protect cells from free radicals, promote collagen replenishment, and boost your immune system. Vitamin E has been shown to provide particular promise in treating acne as it helps prevent sebum, normally present in the pores, from thickening. When mixed with bacteria and dead skin cells, thickened sebum can result in an increase in blemishes.
