You can
find Vitamin A in
mostly foods that originate
from animal sources such as
chicken, calf,
and beef. Vitamin A can be
found in dairy products such
as butter, cheese, and milk.
Your body converts
beta-carotene into Vitamin
A. Orange fruits and green
vegetables are rich
in beta-carotene and in your
body boost the supply of
Vitamin A. Vegetables like
cabbages, carrots, sweet
potatoes, and fruits
are great sources of
beta-carotene.
Studies
conducted from the
University of Michigan
concluded that the
effectiveness of Retinol was
because of skin receptors
for retinoic acid. Such
receptors are recognized as
Retinoic Acid Receptors;
they are found on the outer
side of membrane of cells.
Retinoic acid was discovered
to support the reproduction
of cells; Retinoic acid
also aided in proper working
of cells. Retinol is broadly
used today as an
acne treatment and to
fight skin damaged because
of sunlight exposure.
Retinol can be applied as a
cream. It changes the
abnormal development on the
superficial skin layer which
is near the hair
follicles. Big pimples with
pus will fill the hair
follicles together with
a boost in the superficial
skin cells. Retinol
separates the extra cells
which helps clear the path
for the discarding of
these abundant cells from
the root of the follicles.
When such cells are gone, a
decrease takes place there
in the formation of
comedones. You can
generously apply Retinol to
your face, neck, chest, and
upper arms. Keep in mind
that frequent applications
can irritate your skin.
Applying
Retinol regularly
will eventually
make your skin soft and
smooth. Pores on your skin
will become less visible.
Aging signs because
of wrinkles in the skin will
lessen. In addition, Retinol
stimulates collagen
production. Through
long-term use, retinol
provides improvement for
acne.
Side Effects
of Retinol
Regular
use of Retinol does
have side effects that
should be considered. For
example, your skin may
get warm, red in color, or
a benign sting can occur.
Such results are
quite normal and are likely
to disappear when your skin
grows a tolerant to the
medication. Nonetheless, if
the symptoms continue, it's
recommended to see
a dermatologist.
Bear in
mind that application of
Retinol can heighten
sensitivity to the sunlight;
thus, it's advised for
patients to stay inside
after using Retinol on the
skin. In some
cases, people can feel
itchiness areas where
Retinol has been applied,
and your skin can experience
some scaling. You should
immediately see a doctor or
a dermatologist if these
side effects become severe.
Also, applying too much
Retinol can at times provoke
itching and scaling.
It's
recommended to wear a strong
enough sunscreen and
clothing that protects your
skin. Consider only using
Retinol during pregnancy
when your doctor or
dermatologist
approves. Create the habit
to use mild soap while
washing your face. Retinol
has the ability to diminish
wrinkles and fine lines,
improve skin texture, color
and tone.
Retinol completely rejuvenates
the skin.
