Can you explain the pimples problem and dark circles.

Jeevan said:   1 decade ago
Friends very less amount of UV-rays doesn't affect our cell tissues. So its better to stand out in morning sunlight.

Jeevan said:   1 decade ago
Dark circles doesn't come through sun light to prevent that you have to sleep properly. Don't allow dusts and oil on your face for long time at-least have to wash our face with cold water 6 times in a day and don't use soap more than twice.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin which can provide for the body's needs in one of two ways. Through the action of sunlight on the skin, or through the major food sources of cod liver oil, cold-water fish, butter, and egg yolks. When the sun shines on the skin, the ultraviolet rays activate a form of cholesterol which is present in the skin, converting it to Vitamin D (1). Because the body can provide sufficient Vitamin D to meet its needs simply through exposure to sunlight, some feel it is not really a vitamin, but instead is a hormone.
