Summary

INTRODUCTION

The skin is the largest and one of the most important or­ gans of the human body, and its condition is determined by many factors. The ad­ ditionally consumed, appropriately selected and proper­ ly dosed synthetic preparations and deliberately enriched food products containing ingredients that have a beneficial effect on the skin may play a supporting role in this procedure. These kinds of products are known as nutricos­ metics and functional food. Knowing the mechanisms and causes of skin problems enables the selection of appropriate, bio­ logically active ingredients that inhibit their development and, improve the condition of the skin These ingredients can be included in both cosmetic preparations, dietary and functional food supplements
