Skin Care Combo – Skincare and Vitamins
Sacramento, CA, December 29, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- Skin care can always use a helping hand to work better for each individual person. Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “Your Skin Care Combo Meal – Part 1: What Vitamins can Do for You,” shows readers how beneficial these little capsules can be.
Vitamins go beyond the ones you took as a child and understanding exactly what they do will help you decide if they are right for you:
Vitamins are organic substances made by plants or animals that fall into two categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble. As the name suggests, fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in your body's fat and from there are stored within your body. Water-soluble vitamins need water in order to dissolve and are absorbed into the body but not stored. Because of this, fresh water-soluble vitamins are needed everyday, according to Kidshealth.org.
Vitamin A is one of the most important vitamins to have, as the article explains:
While there are a number of different types of vitamins required for healthy bones, teeth, hair, gums, etc., concerning skin care, the two vitamins you want are vitamins A and C. Vitamin A keeps your skin healthy by promoting a healthy immune system, which helps your body continue the growth and development of essential cells. You can find vitamin A in milk, eggs, liver, carrots, apricots and peaches, as well as many other foods.
While the article focuses on vitamins A and C in particular, that doesn’t mean all the other vitamins don’t count:
These are the top two vitamins when it comes to what can help you achieve healthy skin, but that doesn't mean you should ignore all the others. Vitamins are essential in providing your body everything from converting food into energy for you to use, to helping your metabolism. The best way to get vitamins is through a properly balanced diet or a multivitamin. Consult with a doctor or nutritionist, as each person is different.
According to skin care expert, Camilla Jean, vitamins tend to be left back in childhood but there are adult vitamins for a reason. “It can’t hurt to take a good multivitamin. When you get older, you get lazier and slack on your health and diet. Taking vitamins is a surefire way to help you get over that hump.”
“Blast From The Skincare Past (Part 1)”
The Fabulous Fifties was a decade of wholesome family values intermingled with fun and flirty freedom. Women in the media were always portrayed as glamorous, whether they were housewives or super beautiful vixens. The 1950s was also an era of high fashion, and with it came a whole new slough of makeup and skincare trends. Skin care in the 1950s was a big deal, as women wanted to look their best, just as ladies of today do as well.

Following the girlish innocence of the 1950s, the sexy sixties was a striking contrast when it came to makeup and skincare. Gone were the days of embracing the natural look, and instead subtle skin care and cosmetics were replaced with sultry, heavy makeup.
