Skincare Tips: Everyone wants beautiful and glowing skin, but sometimes despite using expensive beauty products, the face starts becoming lifeless and dark. According to experts, change in skin color can be an alarm of some major deficiency hidden in the body. Let us know which vitamin deficiency is spoiling your look.

Reason for blackness on face

The biggest reason for hyperpigmentation i.e. darkness on the face is deficiency of Vitamin B12. When the level of this vitamin falls in the body, the production of melanin becomes unbalanced. Due to this, dark spots start appearing on the skin and the complexion becomes dull. If you are seeing patches on your face along with fatigue, then it is a clear sign of Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Deep relationship between Vitamin C and glow

Vitamin C is considered most important for maintaining the glow of the skin. It is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals. Due to its deficiency, the skin starts losing its elasticity and the face starts looking dark. Vitamin C helps in forming collagen which keeps the skin young and glowing.

These vitamins are also responsible

Apart from Vitamin B12 and C, deficiency of Vitamin D and Vitamin E can also make the skin dry and dark. Due to deficiency of Vitamin D, the process of formation of new skin cells slows down due to which dead skin starts accumulating and the face starts looking dark.

What to include in the diet

• If you are also struggling with this problem, then make these changes in your diet immediately.
• For Vitamin B12, definitely eat milk, curd, cheese, eggs and soya etc.
• Include orange, lemon, kiwi, amla and green leafy vegetables in your diet which are rich in Vitamin C.
• Drink enough water and eat nuts (walnuts, almonds) rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Before starting any supplement, consult a doctor. If you have any other skin problem then act only after consulting a doctor. Apart from this, only proper nutrition and balanced diet can bring back the lost glow of your skin.
