Ways to prevent premature aging revealed

Cosmetologist Stanislav Arkannikov clarified what vitamins a person needs to prevent skin aging, Report informs, citing RIA Novosti.

Arkannikov said that the skin has an unusual outer layer that needs three vitamins - A, E, and C.

Vitamin A or retinol is responsible for cell regeneration. It activates the secretion of collagen and elastin, as well as stimulates the development of new layers, and slows down pigmentation. According to the doctor, the lack of this vitamin is "felt" on the face: "In this regard, wrinkled skin, unpleasant pigment spots, dryness, earthy shades, various rashes and, in general, sudden, age-inappropriate pallor of the skin are observed. This vitamin penetrates the lipid mantle of the skin and accelerates the regeneration of the outer layers of the skin."

Vitamin E can repair damaged skin, eliminate wrinkles, and regulate the water-oil balance of the skin by normalizing the function of sebaceous glands. It also indirectly activates the skin's protection mechanisms from ultraviolet radiation.

Vitamin C is able to neutralize harmful elements - free radicals. Vitamin C can "lock" them, and this is the safest way to fight aging today. But the problem is that it cannot penetrate the protective layer of fat. For this reason, the skin can absorb it only by injection.
