* Sulfur: also promotes the pigmentation of the skin, which is poorly pigmented in the absence of sulfur. In particular, peas, green beans, cabbage and raw garlic are rich in this trace element also oilseeds and gruyere cheese type. Also eggs, fish and brewer’s yeast.
* Silicon: it is essential in the biosynthesis of collagen, so their lack striations produced by loss of tissue elasticity, wrinkles and premature skin aging. The outermost part of green vegetables, seed hulls, bran, onion and nuts are rich in silicon. The herb horsetail dried and crushed scattered over the plates is a good way to make silicon.
* Iron: is an essential mineral in the production of hemoglobin, by which the skin has a good color. They are excellent sources of sea spaghetti seaweed, spirulina algae, pollen, fresh beets and quinoa.
* Zinc: is a very important nutrient for skin health. Performs with vitamin A in the regeneration of skin tissue, the synthesis of collagen and elastin, important components of skin tissue responsible for providing elasticity and tone to the dermis. The pumpkin seeds are perhaps one of the richest sources of this trace element.
