Most of these vitamins are most effective as a topical ointment, but can also help if consumed.

Vit C and E for preventative care.
Vit A for maintaining good skin.
Vit B (biotin, niacin) for younger looking skin.
Vit K for baggy eyes.

Selenium, Copper and Zinc.
A-LA.
EFA's.

Sullivan adds this skin advice: "The best approach is to drink plenty of water, use gentle products to cleanse your skin, always wear a sunscreen, and eat a balanced diet - then you can augment that care with nutritional supplements."


Last, but not least, let us not forget the regular application of cocoa butter to prevent stretch marks! ph34r.gif

i like to rub cayenne pepper all over my face and lay in the sun.
it works best when you take super doses of niacin first.

You could also rub icy hot all over your body and lay in a tanning bed! Might want to have a few drinks before hand.

What are you trying to do - clear up acne, soften the skin, or what? Do you have dry skin or oily skin?

Im going to another JW cycle soon and i get pretty bad acne from it. Anyone got any recommendations?

B5 will clear up any case of acne at 10 grams a day, once clear can go on 3 grams a day also need to take a B50 and some extra biotin so you do not get a deficiency in other B vitamins Will give you loose stool so need to take extra fiber also and will make you sensitive to the sun so take after tanning

Is this from personal experience or is this backed by some medical research?

drink alot of water and stay away from sugar. fish oil helps tremendously as well especially salmon.
