What vitamins actually do for your skin
Your essential guide to vitamins and skincare
A healthier you starts with your body’s largest organ - your skin. Stretching from head to toe, your skin is your first line of defence against the outside world. A vital ingredient in maintaining your body’s defences and your skin’s health is by introducing vitamins into your skincare routine. Vitamins can reduce the appearance of dark spots, redness, wrinkles, rough patches and excessive dryness.
What do vitamins do for our body?
Vitamins are involved in various bodily functions like skin, muscle and bone, the conversion of food into energy and repairing cellular damage. Of course, as most of us know, fruits and vegetables are a great source of vitamins. But did you know that there are also vitamins in targeted skincare products?
Which vitamins are found in skincare?
So, which vitamins can you actually find in skincare products? While you might find skincare ingredients that contain a range of different vitamins, here are some of the most common:
- Vitamin A
- Widely considered one of the most effective skin-care ingredients, Vitamin A serves a protective function by binding to receptors in the skin to help stimulate cell reproduction.
- Vitamin C
- Outside of oranges and boosting your immune system during the flu season, Vitamin C is a crucial ingredient to support collagen production.
- Vitamin E
- This moisturising antioxidant can improve skin hydration by protecting skin-cell membranes from oxidation.
