Macronutrients
What are macronutrients?

Micronutrients
What are micronutrients?
The nutrients the body needs in smaller quantities.• VITAMINS• MINERALS
Why are micronutrients important?
They are involved in many important processes used to keep the body functioning healthy:
• IMMUNITY• BONE HEALTH• INTEGUMENTARY (SKIN) HEALTH• PROCESS 4• PROCESS 5
What Does Nutrition Have To Do With Skincare?
Just as one must feed his/her body to work properly, the skin
needs nutrients as well in order to maintain health. We can
do this in two ways: consuming nutrients and applying
them topically.
Topical VS. Consumption Methods for Skincare
TopicalApplying nutrients directly
to the skin (i.e. face creams, cleansers, masks,
etc.)
Benefits:
• Usually instant results.
• Protecting/ correcting
outer layers of skin
• Preventing damage
from beginning
superficially
ConsumptionTaking in nutrients orally;
eating
Benefits:
• Correcting deeper
damage not visible (yet)
on the surface of skin.
• Creating a healthy
foundation for correct
skin function and
appearance.
• Preventing damage from
beginning in the deeper
layers of skin

The skin is a
permeable
barrier, and so
anything
applied
directly to the
skin has a
chance of
passing
through the
barrier and
into the body.

When nutrients
are consumed,
they are
dispersed to
where they are
needed once
they are
broken down.
Nutrients such
as protein,
vitamins,
minerals and
fat
components
are used to
fortify the skin.
Nutrients from small intestine pass through intestinal cells and into blood stream
Nutrients are then transported to where they are needed
Working Together
Product applied to the skin cannot penetrate enough to reach the deeper layers of skin, where some problems start
Whatever problems topically applied nutrients can’t handle, nutrients absorbed from the body help to combat issues below the surface of skin
MacronutrientsAnd their function in the skin
Protein: Helps keep the skin strong by providing strong “building blocks” for healthy skin.
Fat: Helps keep the skin’s moisture barrier working so there is a balance between oiliness and dryness on the surface.
Carbohydrates: Provides materials to build structure within skin cells to allow for correctly function.
MicronutrientsAnd their function in the skin
Vitamins: Each vitamin provides different functions. The most significant ones are:
• Vitamin C is an antioxidant and helps protect the skin from damage
• Vitamin A support strength of the skin• Vitamin E provides hydration and antioxidant
protection• Vitamin B provides strength
Minerals: There are a million different kinds of minerals that do different things. The significant ones are:
• Iron supplies oxygen to the skin• Magnesium helps to detoxify the skin
