From vitamin A (a prominent anti-ager) to vitamin E, that shields against complexion damaging UV rays and pollution, vitamins in skincare perform a number of tasks to keep the skin both looking and feeling healthy.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is very versatile vitamin that targets a number of skincare complaints. Capable of reducing acne, wrinkles, brown spots and hyper-pigmentation, it repairs DNA for normal-functioning cells. Vitamin A also stimulates collagen production, increasing cell turnover.
Vitamin B
Vitamin B is great for sensitive skin, known for aiding the healing process of skin conditions. If you suffer with skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema or dermatitis, use this to soothe the skin. It’s also good for sun damaged, ageing or dry skin too.
Vitamin C
Skincare that contains vitamin C are particularly useful to those who live in built up areas. Shielding the skin from the impacts of pollution and balancing out skin tone, it fights against premature skin ageing. Vitamin C also boosts moisture levels which means improved levels of hydration.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, this means that your body stores any excess of this vitamin that is not used. In contrast, water-soluble vitamins are excreted by your body. Vitamin D is key to ensuring that calcium is absorbed into your body and it also plays a role in maintain your overall health.
Vitamin E
The antioxidant vitamin E is used to counter free radical damage. It’s known for fending off sun damage, which makes it excellent at reducing signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to speed up healing processes.
