The sunshine vitamin is essential for strong and healthy bones, but also necessary for the skin. In its Vitamin D3 form, the outcomes of skin conditions like acne and rosacea are improved due to its antimicrobial activity. Insufficient amounts of Vitamin D will cause skin to appear thinner and more fragile. Darker skin tones require even more Vitamin D than Caucasians as melanin prevents the skin from absorbing enough of the necessary sun rays.
Whilst Vitamin D production in the body is triggered by UVB sun rays, it’s a national recommendation that we take a daily supplement of 10mcg of vitamin D daily to get our recommended amounts.
