As the healthy diet trend is growing, people are focusing more on their bodies and neglecting their skin, which leads to breakouts and other skin problems.

Just like your body, your skin also requires vitamins to maintain its appearance, functioning, immunity, and overall health. And, the easiest way to supply vitamins to your skin is by including nutrient-rich foods in your daily diet.

So, here are the 5 Best essential vitamins for your skin health and their natural sources.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is the best to prevent breakouts and improve the immunity of your skin. It is mainly found in two types, Retinoids and Carotenoids.

Retinoids promote collagen production, which is beneficial for treating acne, fading dark spots, and improving skin texture. Animal-based foods like cheese, lamb liver, beef liver, salmon, and fish are the only source of retinoids.

Whereas carotenoids are rich in antioxidants that prevent skin cell damage, premature aging, and other skin issues. You can intake carotenoids from plant foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, tomatoes, mango, and apricots.

Vitamin B3
