Heart Health and Skin: The Connection

Apr 3, 2016 | 5:41 PM

There are a few things you can do to protect your heart. Smoking, stress and lack of sleep are three of the biggest baddies. A nutritious diet and regular exercise are critical to heart health.

Coincidentally, smoking and stress and lack of sleep are super bad for your skin. These are not beautifying practices. The nutritious diet and regular exercise I mentioned earlier will yield another bonus for you:  healthy, youthful, clear skin.

There are supplements you can take if you feel you need more heart help than the average bear. One of them is Vitamin E. Good news:  your Skinformation Specialist also loves Vitamin E for your skin health and beauty.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant. When you read that word, think anti aging, inside and out – for your heart and for your skin.

Find a Vitamin E supplement that has Mixed Tocopherols. The more Gamma Tocopherol in your Vitamin E, the better.

People with acne, you also need Vitamin E. Studies have shown that acne skin has way less Vitamin E in it than normal skin. Take 400 IU a day, for three months, to see a difference. Look for Vitamin E in skincare so you are also applying E directly to the skin, not just ingesting it.
