It’s been a bitter Winter, and January is coming out as one of the coldest in a long time!

We all know what that means for our skin; it’s dry, dehydrated, and super sensitive – so, what’s the cure?

Some reckon it’s all about vitamins. When your skin is suffering, it’s usually because it’s deficient in something, and vitamins are key to balancing out what your body needs!

But will vitamins really make a difference to your skin?

And which ones do you need to prioritise?

Let’s dive in.

Why vitamins are important

Vitamins are key when it comes to skincare because they make up the organic components essential for a healthy and happy human body.

We get vitamins from the sun, food and drinks, but sometimes it’s not enough to really have us at our full glowing potential.

Think of a vampire; they never see sunlight, so their skin is pale, eye bags purple, and their energy is low in the daytime. That’s because their body is missing out on Vitamin D!

Sure they’re surviving – but they’re not looking too hot while doing it.

Of course, using Vitamin D in your skin care doesn’t mean you can stop getting out in the sun; it’s about finding a healthy balance!

Which vitamins you need

Every vitamin serves a different purpose, so it’s really about finding out which ones will work the best for you.

The ones that are the most significant are Vitamins A, C, D and E.

Vitamin A helps to treat wrinkles, and boosts skin healing and repair. It’s great if you’re trying to achieve smooth, youthful skin. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A.

Vitamin C enhances is perhaps the most popular when it comes to skincare – and there’s a reason for it. Vit C works to treat under eye circles and improve hydration, boost elasticity and resilience, and increase collagen production – among other things!

Vitamin D, AKA the sunshine vitamin, protects you from harmful pollutants and skin cancer, reinforces your skin barrier, soothes inflammation and prevents premature ageing.

Vitamin E is a great skin moisturiser. It has a soothing, and rejuvenating effect.
