So which Vitamins should you look for in your skin care products?
Vitamin C and Vitamin E – These 2 vitamins are most effective when it comes to countering the harmful effects of sun exposure as they help repair sun damage and make the skin healthy and bright. These vitamins also help prevent damage and improve the skin’s texture. Another added benefit of Vitamin C and E is that they help control free radicals in the skin which can destroy elastin and collagen content. Collagen and elastin help support the skin’s structure and prevent wrinkles from occurring.
Vitamin A – Vitamin A deficiency can make the skin dry and flaky as it is the presence of this vitamin that helps repair and maintain the tissues in the skin. Using skin care products infused with Vitamin A will lead to reduced fine lines and wrinkles, less acne and lot of relief in skin diseases such as psoriasis.
Vitamin B Complex – The most important B vitamin is biotin that helps form the crux of the cells in our skin, nail and hair. Products enriched with Vitamin B help to give the skin an instant glow, hydrate skin cells and also increase its flexibility. A specific B vitamin named Niacin retains moisture in the skin and gives it a younger and plumper look. It also soothes irritated and dry skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Vitamin K – Vitamin K is helpful in clotting the blood and preventing too much blood loss from taking place. However, it has been found to be quite useful in reducing under-eye dark circles when used in eye products, especially if combined with Vitamin A. It is also helpful in reducing fine lines and wrinkles to a certain extent.
