Topical and Oral Regimen for Skin Health

The landscape for skin health has expanded past a focused use of topicals to incorporate the use of supplementation. Notable examples include the ingestion of carotenoids and beta-carotene to augment skin antioxidant status or the role of diet on different skin conditions.
