Vitamins for your skin
Vitamins for your Skin
I just finished my exams for a new Diploma in Organic Skincare Business today. Now this is done and dusted! I started the course in June 2020. I am now waiting for the assessment results.
I learned about different Vitamins. I think it is nice to share with you the different vitamins required by your skin
Here we go:
Vitamin A
Retinoids derived from this is used in skincare products for anti aging.
Vitamin B
There are 9 B vitamins and most prominent for skincare is Vit B3
That aids in collagen generation that results in increasing elasticity of the skin by improving loose skin and reduce wrinkles.
Vitamin C
This is a powerful anti oxidant that protects your skin from free radicals produced by UVB and UVA ray's of the sun.
Vitamin D
Not very relevant for skin, but I am researching on products that will supplement this vitamin to your body for you to have other benefits.
Vitamin E
Helps to introduce other compounds to your skin. It has anti inflammatory properties and is an excellent anti oxidant.
Vitamin K
They exist in two structurally similar forms.
Vitamin K1 - since 2009 it's usage in skincare products and cosmetics are prohibited in EU. It had various reactions by consumers who used up to 1% in the products
Vitamin K2
It has none of these problems and it increases youthfulness and suppleness in the skin and is widely used in lotions.
Now you know I did study hard and do my research right :)
Fascinating! I can just feel the vitamins soaking in with your foot balm I have just massaged on. Are there particular vitamins in the foot balm?
