Severe diets that skimp on calories and on one or more nutrients are detrimental to your skin, and so are eating habits that include plenty of complexion-spoiling fast food. Here’s a rundown of common nutrient deficiencies and how they can affect your complexion:
• A lack of protein can lead to a dull, dry complexion and poor wound-healing.
• A shortage of iron can result in a pale complexion.
• A lack of vitamin A can produce dry skin or unexplained break outs.
• A deficiency in vitamin B complex can result in cracks at the corners of the mouth, unexplained break outs, impaired wound-healing, and pallor.
• A lack of vitamin C can cause poor wound-healing, dullness, and easy bruising.
• A shortage of vitamin E can lead to poor wound-healing and dry skin.
• A lack of vitamin K can result in weak, broken, or distended facial capillaries.
• By avoiding just food and sticking to a diet containing all the necessary nutrients, you’ll notice the difference in your complexion.
