Winterize Skin from the Inside Out with Diet, Vitamins, Exercise
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Winter winds and cold temperatures can leave skin screaming for help this season. Moisturizers can help solve the problem, but 71 percent of dermatologists believe a healthy diet, vitamins and other supplements, and regular exercise accompanied by other smart lifestyle choices are just as important for healthy skin, according to new research from the 2008 "Life...supplemented" Healthcare Professionals (HCP) Impact Study. The study shows two thirds of dermatologists recommend dietary supplements to their patients and the top reason is for healthy skin, hair and nails.

"Many women tend to think short-term and focus solely on the topical approach to healthy skin," says Jeannette Graf, M.D., a leading skin science expert and advisor to the "Life...supplemented" campaign. "Lotions and creams are important, but it is even more important to take care of your skin from the inside out. If you're healthy, your skin will show it -- and the best way to stay healthy is to engage in smart lifestyle choices. Start with a healthy diet and supplement with vitamins and regular exercise."
For example, vitamins A, C and E are key to combating natural aging, and a deficiency in certain Omega-3 fatty acids can often lead to dry and itchy skin. While moisturizers can help, a healthy diet supplemented by appropriate vitamins, minerals and other supplements is part of a long-term effective solution. In fact, 62 percent of dermatologists believe there are gaps in their patients' diets that could be effectively addressed wit
