A, B, C, D, E, F – The Vitamin Alphabets for Aging Skin
Capable of erasing the passage of time and other amazing benefits these vitamins have on your skin.
Vitamins are the absolute protagonists of present and future cosmetics. Its secret, which has been scientifically proven, is based on improving the signs of the passage of time by slowing down the action of free radicals (responsible for aging).
Due to their antioxidant power and the benefits they provide to the skin – from attenuating blemishes to giving firmness – these substances have become a very recurrent anti-ageing weapon. Although C is the most popular, the truth is that there is almost an entire vitamin alphabet ready to fight aging.
So discover its multiple virtues and benefits. You won’t regret it!
A – The Perfectionist
Although you may have heard it from its derivative (retinol), the truth is that vitamin A stimulates collagen production, increases skin thickness, and promotes cell renewal. That’s why it’s considered to be the vitamin that slows down aging, making it ideal for mature skin, to treat acne or to minimize fine lines, scars and blemishes. However, it is always a good idea to apply it at night, as some of its derivatives increase sensitivity to the sun’s rays and may cause irritation.
C – The Queen of Anti-Aging
Vitamin C certainly deserves special mention, as it is found in every product launched today. In fact, it should not be missing in any daily treatment, as it intervenes in the process of collagen formation (the protein that supports the dermis), gives elasticity, strengthens the capillary vessels and regenerates vitamin E, another effective anti-aging ally. It also inhibits skin pigmentation, which prevents the formation of blemishes or breaks down melanin to whiten existing ones. It also smoothes out wrinkles and improves skin quality. Include it in your beauty routine by always being aware of a possible intolerance for this magical ingredient.
E – The Anti-inflammatory
Also known as tocopherol, this soothing and emollient antioxidant vitamin increases microcirculation, promotes elasticity and reduces fine lines. Its main function is to neutralize free radicals and it is increasingly present in sun creams. It also reduces inflammation while preventing dryness and wrinkles. You can use this vitamin whenever your skin needs it and is the ideal ingredient for cases of skin sensitivity or allergy.
But since we know that aging doesn’t take a minute of sleep away from us – even though we probably suffer from mid-orexia and are convinced that with age we become more attractive – the truth is that at any age it is important to take care of our skin. So these are the other vitamins that we should be aware of, even if their main goal is not eternal youth.
B – The Moisturizer
This powerful ingredient helps to trap moisture and is therefore present in many hair products and in all types of creams for both cleaning and nutrition. It is ideal for repairing damaged hair fibre and treating skin that is easily dehydrated, especially by environmental agents (sun, wind, cold, etc.). However, it is important to note that there are a wide varieties of B vitamins and they all have very different and specific functions. Within this group we should highlight B6 which has sebum-regulating action and B7, commonly known as biotin.
D – The Protector
This vitamin is responsible for maintaining the epidermal barrier in the best condition, preventing dehydration. Its use is usually related to the regeneration of the hair follicle as its derivatives are essential to prevent hair loss and promote growth. However, they are also used, under dermatological supervision, for the cure of psoriasis (a skin disease).
F – The Illuminator
Nicknamed this way by experts, this vitamin restores dry, scaly and rough skin and reduces redness, pores and excess sebum, enhancing the brightness of the face. It also revitalizes damaged or breakable hair. Use it when you need to look shiny, because it has a flash effect and its continued use is a real shock cure, which provides elasticity and smoothness.
