Vitamins For Your Skin

Don't be easily fooled into all you hear about the latest skin remedies. Most of your skin care needs can be taken care of with daily vitamins. If you know especially what you need and what provides it, you can better control your skin issues.

Vitamin A: * lines and wrinkles
(look for products containing retinoids/retin-A/renova, all utilize vitamin A)


Vitamin B: * healthy glow, moisture
(look for products containing B-3 niacin and B-5 pantothenic acid)


Vitamin C: * repairs sun damage
(look for products containing L-asorbic acid)


Vitamin E:
* fixes dry, rough skin
(look for products containing alpha tocopherol)


Vitamin K:
* repairs dark, under-eye circles

Of course all food products, and general vitamins you may be taking that contain these vitamins are already helping your skin! Think about other ways you can take the vitamins you need before spending money on promising products.
