What are the causes of dry skin, dandruff, scaly legs, and chicken skin?

Why do other people have smooth and delicate skin, while my skin is dry and rough, and I even have dandruff and chicken skin on my legs and arms? Is it really because I don't use enough skin care products? So what is the reason for this?

What causes dry, rough skin, scaly skin, and chicken skin?

The skin is part of our body's epithelial tissue. In order to maintain the normal function and morphology of the epithelial tissue, a type of nutrient, vitamin A (carotenoids), must be involved. Therefore, when our body lacks vitamin A, the skin loses its ability to metabolize nutrients and waste normally, and also loses its normal smooth shape. Especially in winter, there are a lot of white skin flakes on the legs, which will fall off if you scratch them. Some people also develop chicken skin like papules on their legs, which are the consequences of vitamin A deficiency. At this time, instead of using some skin care products and body lotions, it is better to supplement some nutrients yourself - vitamin A to solve these problems from the root!

How can we get vitamin A from food?

Animal livers contain the most vitamin A (the liver is an organ for detoxification in animals, and nowadays poultry such as chickens and ducks are fed a lot of feed, hormones, antibiotics, etc., which leads to serious accumulation of toxins in the liver, so it is not recommended for you to eat this kind of food.) Carrots, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, mangoes, apricots, spinach and other foods are followed by rich carotenoids (carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body), especially carrots, which have the highest content. So you can eat more of these foods, especially carrots, but I want to remind you: carotenoids can only be converted into vitamin A in the body together with fat, so it is recommended that you eat carrots with fat-rich foods, such as stir-frying carrots and meat together, or making them into fruit salad: mix carrots, mangoes, apricots and other fruits with whole milk or salad dressing and eat them together, it is very nutritious.

3. Additional Vitamin A

For people with rough skin, a lot of dandruff, or even small red papule-like bumps on their arms and legs, they are already very deficient in vitamin A. At this time, in addition to eating more foods high in vitamin A that I just introduced, you must also pay attention to additional supplements. Here, I recommend that you take carotenoid nutritional supplements, because carotenoids are safer and more reliable than the vitamin A sold on the market. If you ask me to recommend something to you, I would suggest choosing Nutrilite's carotenoids, because after using it, I really felt that the red bumps on my legs were reduced a lot, and it is very effective.
