Taking Care of Your Skin, Part 2

by Dr. Regan Golob

 

 

1. SELENIUM

Scientific research is showing that this mineral plays a key role in skin cancer prevention. Taken in supplement form or in a cream, it even protects the skin from sun damage.

If you do spend any time in the sun (who doesn't this time of year), selenium can help reduce your chance of burning which lowers your chance of developing of skin cancer. Here are some of the best sources of selenium which include whole-grain cereals, seafood, garlic, and eggs. 

Remember MSM ( sulphur) blocks the receptor sites of Selenium, and MSM is another great supplement for the skin elastin.

2. COPPER

Here is another important mineral that is very important to skin health. Used together with vitamin C (Ester C) and the mineral zinc, copper helps to develop elastin, which are the fibers that support skin structure from underneath.

While a copper deficiency is rare (doctors caution that supplements can be dangerous), topical applications of copper-rich creams can firm the skin and help restore some elasticity, according to some study results.

3. ZINC

The third but most important mineral I want to discuss is Zinc, which can be very important to consider if you have acne breakouts. In fact, sometimes acne itself is a symptom of a zinc deficiency.

Taken internally or used topically, zinc works to clear skin by taming oil production and may be effective in controlling the formation of acne lesions or help those already on your skin to clear sooner.

 

(Editor's Note: Dynamite SOD contains all three of these minerals.)
