Vitamins for Your Skin

I love to feel good inside and out.  If you find me munching on food, then it’s most likely very healthy.  I always carry around a bag of assorted vitamins that I take a few times daily to ensure my body is not missing any important nutrients.  Lastly, I like to make sure on the outside that my hair is tidy and my make-up flawless.  I do not think it vain, but rather it is a confidence booster that I can feel so great about myself.  While I am taking care of the inside of my body with vitamins, I was curious to see which, if any vitamins were in my skin care as well.  I was quite surprised at how many vitamins I apply on top of my skin each and every night.  My favorite line with the most vitamins is SkinCeuticals, but you can also find them in some drug store brands as well.  Take a look at these vitamins and what they can do for your skin, and you will definitely be adding more vitamins to your daily routine.

Vitamin A—this vitamin, which is also known as retinoids are the perfect way to kick aging skin in the butt.  If you want to fight existing wrinkles, or if you want to slow down the aging process, then look for a night cream or a moisturizer with vitamin A.  Just remember more does not always mean better when applying your product.  You don’t want to waste your entire product, and your skin can only absorb so much anyway.  If your product is formulated correctly, then your skin should be getting plenty of vitamin A with just a light layer of lotion.

Vitamin B5—the best way to make your moisturizer really do its job, and to keep your skin from dehydrating is to incorporate vitamin B5 into your skin regimen.  I like to think of my B5 gel as a booster because it really does maximize your moisturizer’s effectiveness.  Another great perk is that vitamin B5 is also shown to help in repairing the skin’s tissue.  So, this great vitamin on your skin means you’ll be getting in your nutrients and your skin will have a soft texture and seem young in appearance.

Vitamin C—if you are looking for help with preventing and correcting all signs of aging skin, the vitamin C is what you need.  Vitamin C will help in exfoliating skin, and a faster skin cell turnover rate means newer, fresher looking skin for you.  It also acts as a preventative antioxidant which helps to protect your skin from seriously damaging free radicals like pollutants, sun, and even stress.  The best product I have found to give the best results is SkinCeutical’s C E Ferulic.  It is an amazing skin technology that you will notice working within days.cableinternetbundles.com

Vitamin K—this vitamin has become my allover skin friend, as it is used to help treat stretch marks.  Lather up in a cream rich in vitamin K and your stretch marks just may fade away.  Also, eating foods with vitamin K can be beneficial to ridding your body of unwanted stretch marks as well.

So, there you have it.  Vitamins are not just for the inside, they are for the outside too, and they can do some pretty amazing things for your skin.  Give it a try!

  1. Okay I saw the tip about vitamin k for stretch marks and I was skeptical, but bought some lotion with it anyway. It is lightening up my marks! Yay for no more stretch marks!

  2. I would never think about putting vitamins on top of skin to get benefits. I will have to try out the vitamin B5 this winter when my skin gets a lot more dry. Thanks for the tips!
