5 Vitamins That Deliver Beauty Inside and Out

If you’re like me, you take your vitamins with a glass of water before bed, but did you know that many supplements provide tremendous beauty benefits when they are applied topically to your skin? Here are five vitamins that can be applied directly to problem areas, improving your outward appearance…

Vitamin C

Applying Vitamin C to your skin can actually be more effective than taking a supplement orally. Bringing this powerful wrinkle fighter straight to the source helps to fade discoloration and combat aging. When applied in the morning, it helps protect your skin from the environmental hazards that it encounters throughout the day.

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Vitamin C ester) complements the wrinkle relaxing effects of Yon-Ka’s Elastine Nuit Treatment Crème. Also rich in three peptides sourced from elastin, soy and milk plus 19 amino acids Elastine Nuit plumps wrinkles to a smooth finish and promotes renewed tone and radiance.

Vitamin A

Another great age-fighter, this vitamin is found in many of my favorite creams along with over-the-counter and prescription retinoids.  Applying a small amount at night delivers smoother, younger-looking skin by morning.

Rich in Vitamin A plus a cocktail of complementary anti-oxidants Vital Defense anti-pollution cream is specially formulated to combat damaging environmental factors that cause oxidative stress (pollution, smoking, and exposure to UV rays and climate variations) this intensely hydrating, and reparative cream combines myrtle and moringa; two high-performance plant extracts that help the skin to preserve its youthfulness.

Vitamin K

If you suffer from shadows and dark circles, Vitamin K is your new best friend. It tends to be found in eye creams and is used to lighten up the area around your eyes. Use this one at night to fade unwelcome darkness under your eyes while catching up on your beauty rest.

Vitamin B3

If your skin is screaming for hydration, B3 can give it the perfect boost. It also calms irritation and redness making it a great choice for sensitive skins and anyone with dryer skin lacking moisture. Nutri-Contour is well dosed in Vitamin B3 and delivers a deep nourishing action to the eye and lip contours. Use once or twice daily for a healthy protective barrier that will prolong your skin’s youth and suppleness.

Vitamin E

This is another great vitamin for combatting dry skin. When used in conjunction with your favorite SPF, it provides extra protection in preventing sunburn.

Yon-Ka Serum, rich in Vitamin E is a golden concentrate of pure energy, with fine, natural, ultra-energetic oils, nourishes and regenerates all skins that are weakened or nutrient-deficient, whether dry or oily. I love the way that it calms and hydrates my sensitive skin.
