Vitamin A

Vitamin A is critical to maintaining and restoring healthy skin  tissues. If the vitamin A levels in your body drop below normal, your skin is likely to become dry and flaky and you may even develop acne. AmericanChronicle.com explains that this is because vitamin A helps the pores to remove dead skin cells. If dead skins cells aren't properly removed, it is more likely that clogged pores with acne-causing bacteria will develop. Also, as reported in a 2004 study published the journal Clinical Cancer Research, taking vitamin A supplements can help repair sun-damaged skin.
The recommended dosage for Vitamin A supplements is 900 milligrams per day, however, Herb2000.com advises that most people typically consume enough vitamin A in their daily meals to maintain a normal level in their bodies. Vitamin A is found in liver, fortified milk, cheese and eggs. Excess consumption of vitamin A can be toxic and can cause birth defects and nausea.



Vitamin C

Vitamin C is considered fundamental to healthy skin. The vitamin is a powerful antioxidant that rids the body of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that attack the tissues responsible for your skin's firmness and elasticity. Vitamin C also encourages the production of collagen, a fibrous protein responsible for supporting the outer layer of skin. When there is a depletion of collagen in your body, your skin becomes less firm and wrinkles and lines appear. Consuming vitamin C-rich foods can slow or reverse these signs of aging. Foods high in vitamin C include citrus fruits, tomatoes, papaya, broccoli, collard greens and red and green bell peppers. According to Herbs2000.com, the maximum daily recommended dosage for vitamin C is 1,000 mg.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant known to help diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, when vitamin E is taken with vitamin C, the vitamins are very effective in protecting the skin cells against sun-damage and reducing the kind of cells that cause cancer. However, because Vitamin E can be very toxic when taken at high levels, the daily recommended allowance is 400 I.U. per day. Vitamin E can be found naturally in wheat germ oil, mustard greens, almonds, sunflower seeds, broccoli and spinach.

4. Clean makeup brush after every use on the skin
5. Medication cause break outs on the skin

Burt’s Bee’s Sensitive Night Cream

Burt’s Bee’s Sensitive Night Cream Review Skin care is something super important if you want to A. Have great skin and B. Have great makeup; so it makes sense to use a product which benefits the skin. After all, every one want’s to look great with and without the help of makeup. Burt’s Bee’s claims that there sensitive night cream provides moisture to the skin for 8 hours without causing redness or irritation. Does it do that? Well sort of… When I use a moisturiser or more specifically a night cream I like to use something that absorbs into the skin almost instantly so I don’t have to worry about product transferring onto pillows, clothing, etc and that’s one thing that I truly love about this product. It provides moisture almost instantly and absorbs into the skin as quick as you can say night cream. It doesn’t leave any residue and unlike other moisturisers I’ve tried it doesn’t spread unevenly. The scent of this is lovely and subtle, too often I’ve tried a moisturiser only to f
