Vitamin A Recipes for Aging Skin

Retinol (Vitamin A) has been used in all types of skin care products, from acne medications to anti-aging wrinkle creams.

BUT DOES VITAMIN A (RETINOL) ACTUALLY WORK?

Yes Retinol products do work, and they are recommended by dermatologists everywhere for anti aging and acne problems.

However, you need to make sure that you take the exact prescribed amount otherwise it is possible to overdose on it.

Like many others I wanted a natural version of Vitamin A and did not want to use a cream like Retin-A or Renova because my skin is sensitive and it can cause you to break out or become sensitive to the sun.





Beta Carotene

The safest (natural) form of Vitamin A comes through plant and vegetable bases and is known as beta-carotene. Beta carotene is processed by the body and turns into Vitamin A on an as-needed basis, meaning you can’t overdose on it.

Foods that contain Vitamin A;

  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Carrots
  • Mangoes
  • Spinach
  • Cantaloupe
  • Apricots
  • Milk
  • Egg Yolk
  • Kale
  • Winter Squash
  • Red Bell Peppers
  • Turnip Greens
  • Other foods that contain Vitamin A but should be limited;

  • Liver
  • Clearly you don’t want to rub all of these products on to your skin (I'm sure pepper would burn!), but if you eat them they have great health benefits other than just skin care, for example;

  • Better eyesight
  • Stronger Immune System
  • Stronger Bones





  • DID YOU KNOW?
    Custard Apple - Health and nutritional benefits of custard apple are many because of the fact that they’re rich in nutrients like iron, niacin and calcium and rich in calories.

    Anti Aging Retinol (Vitamin A) Recipes

    Mango Honey Facial Mask

  • 1 Mango
  • 3 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Carrot puree (optional)
  • Cut open the mango and scoop out the innards, mash with a fork, add the honey and carrot puree. Apply to the face (or any other desired body part) for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

    Egg Yolk Buttermilk Soak

  • 2 egg yolks – save the egg whites as a non surgical face lift
  • 3 Tablespoons Buttermilk
  • Beat the egg yolks, mix in the buttermilk and apply to needed areas for 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

    The Sweet Mango Anti Aging Mask

  • 1 small sweet potato
  • 1 Mango
  • 5 Tablespoon Honey
  • Poke holes in the sweet potato and bake in the microwave for 10 minutes – or dice it and throw it into boiling water for 30 minutes. Cut the mango in half and scoop out the innards, mash with a fork.

    When the sweet potato is done cooking, cut it in half and scoop out the potato, add the mango and honey and mix – let it cool before applying to the face or body and leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
