Dry skin can be caused by a few things including, dehydration, allergies, ageing and vitamin deficiency.
Changing your lifestyle, drinking more water and taking supplements could help your dry skin.
Here are 3 vitamins for dry skin.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is vital for collagen production. Collagen is the major protein in the skin. Antioxidants found in vitamin C are essential for cell repair and protection against UV damage. Research has shown taking a vitamin C supplement can help improve your skin health, especially skin hydration.
Vitamin D
Studies have shown people who are low in vitamin D have a higher risk of having dry skin. Vitamin D protects your skin barrier and contributes to skin cell growth. During the winter you may notice your skin becoming drier than usual. This is because sunlight does not contain enough essential UVB radiation that our skin needs. As your body can not naturally make vitamin D it is advised to supplement with a vitamin D supplement especially during the winter months.

Omega-3
Omega-3 help improves your skin’s hydration, regulate oil production and reduce the signs of ageing. Taking an omega-3 supplement can help soften dry and rough skin. As it battles inflammation in your skin this helps keep your skin soft. When thinking about taking an omega-3 supplement krill oil is a more powerful antioxidant compared to fish oil.
