Beauty is more than skin-deep and is achieved through more than external skin care. What we do to promote our inner health is as important as what we apply to our skin because skin renewal happens quickly, very quickly!
A balanced nutrition containing all the key essential nutrients to maintain the skin’s healthy appearance helps improve the skin’s natural exfoliating process. And vitamins can be scarcely found in our nutrition in the winter time. A vitamin is an organic component that distinguishes itself from lipids, sugars and proteins. In our field, the most important thing to remember is that there are deficiency symptoms associated with the absence or insufficient quantity of a certain vitamin in the system.
I have created for you below, a chart of major vitamins that, to the best of my knowledge, improve skin’s properties due to their anti-oxidant properties.
