Just as one must feed his/her body to work properly, the skin needs
nutrients as well in order to maintain health. We can do this in two
ways: consuming nutrients and applying them topically.

9. Macronutrients
And their function in the skin
Protein: Helps keep the skin strong by providing strong
“building blocks” for healthy skin.
Fat: Helps keep the skin’s moisture barrier working so there is
a balance between oiliness and dryness on the surface.
Carbohydrates: Provides materials to build structure within
skin cells to allow for correctly function.
10. Micronutrients
And their function in the skin
Vitamins: Each vitamin provides different functions. The
most significant ones are:
• Vitamin C is an antioxidant and helps protect the skin
from damage
• Vitamin A support strength of the skin
• Vitamin E provides hydration and antioxidant
protection
• Vitamin B provides strength
Minerals: There are a million different kinds of minerals that
do different things. The significant ones are:
• Iron supplies oxygen to the skin
• Magnesium helps to detoxify the skin
