Last summer a coworker of mine told me that she may have found a vitamin to help with her mild rosacea.  She said it was D3 and she buys the liquid form and put drops under her tongue.  The maximum daily amount shown on most pill bottles is 4000 IUs, which is four drops for her.  She really noticed a difference in her skin and the redness and breakouts were not as bad as before.

I went to Walmart and bought my own D3 but I got it in the pill format.  I decided to only take 2000 IUs each day and see how that worked.  It took some time but at about four weeks of using it I realized I had not had any deep, bruising pimples I used to get.  And, any tiny blemish I did get was gone within 24 hours.  I continued to use the pills every day and never had an outbreak.  About 10 days ago I ran out of the vitamins and just held off on buying more until I went to the store over the weekend.  Five days passed and I got a breakout.  The deep, bruising pimples were back.  When I got home with the pills I immediately took 4000 IUs (4 pills) and then kept up with my daily 2000 IUs.  My skin is better again but it was amazing that just only 5 days of not taking the pills I broke out.

I’m not a medical doctor or involed in selling pharmaceuticals.  I’m just noting my own personal experience with these vitamins.  You can research vitamin D and see that it has a major play in skin and diseases that affect your skin, like psoriasis.  Besides helping the skin, vitamin D can help with rheumatoid arthrits, blood pressure, and PMS.  I also just read an article that researchers are in an early discovery to see how vitamin D can help out with Lupus and you can read it here.

If you want to try vitamin D3, be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle and if you have any questions, contact your doctor.
