Vitamins for Skin Care
Vitamin necessary for healthy skin. Vitamin A helps with fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin E is an antioxidant. It can help forfend free radical damage. Vitamins B-3 (niacin) and B-5 (pantothenic acid) have become popular summations to skin-care products due to their ability to assist in retaining moisture.
Vitamin B-3 is a relatively new ingredient on the marketplace but has illustrated great promise, offering a milder options to acidic exfoliators like glycolic and salicylic acid, which some feel is too abusive for their complexions. B-5 is a more common skin-care additive, and is broadly recognised for its (along with Vitamin E) moisturizing ability.
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) has been one of skin-care’s hot sellers for the past many years due to its confirmed effectiveness as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are a detracting natural defense against “free radicals,” unstable molecules that age the skin as a result of pollution, smoking and sun exposure. Topical Vitamin C can protect the skin from UV damage caused by prolonged sun exposure by humiliating the amount of free radical formation.
Vitamin-E (alpha tocopherol) is another powerful antioxidant that is normally used in lotions and creams for its moisturizing cpacity. Vitamin E and vitamin C have antioxidant properties and due to this fact, they help a great deal in preventing any kind of skin damage.
Topical Vitamin-K is a good additional explanation against discoloration under the eyes. Usually used as a treatment for spider veins, topical Vitamin K enters straight the pores all the way to the affected capillary or artery and helps to clot the blood. This can easily be blended into your Base Oil. Using 10-30% Vitamin E Oil keeps the skin in good condition and enhances the growth of new skin cells. It also increases the circulation, so don’t worry if your skin gets somewhat reddish. Vitamin E Oil is a very oily matter so if you have oily skin you need to mix it with a high dosage of ‘thin’ dry Vegetable Oil.
