Do you need vitamin and supplement for your skin care?

Some experts have opinion that all vitamin and mineral that we need can be got from the food. But the others say that supplement is important because this time our daily life is full of stress that use up vitamin B, smoke will use up vitamin C then long time food storage also reduces natural vitamin in food.
In relation with our skin care, pollution and some bad habits like eat junk food and smoking will produce free radicals in the body that cause skin aging. To neutralize those free radicals, we need antioxidant that found in betacaroten (for example) that in our body will be changed to vitamin A. We also need vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, lycopene and zinc.
Consult with your doctor before get supplement.
