The summer brings fun and joy to our lives. Those constant trips to the beach, fun in the pool with the kids and garden parties. But regardless of how fun it all is, most of these activities can be really harsh on the skin and even cause damage. Make sure to include these vitamins in your skin care and beat the heat:
Vitamin C for Clear Skin
Vitamin C is one of the best things to include in your regimen if you want clear skin. You can use vitamin C either before bed or early in the morning so your skin has enough time to soak up all the vitamin C. From making the skin texture smooth to boosting collagen production, topically applied ascorbic acid performs a range of functions, some of which include;
- Protecting the skin from sun damage and harmful UV rays
- Evening out the skin tone and reducing dark spots
- Moisturization
Vitamin B5 for Dry Skin
While the heat of the summer makes certain skin types oily and greasy, some experience extreme irritation and dryness because of the sun and dehydration. Vitamin B5 acts as a quencher for the skin and moisturizes but helping the skin retain water. Here are a few benefits of topically including vitamin B5 in your skin care;
- Helps with sunburns and irritation caused by the sun
- Soothes allergies and insect bites
- Calms inflamed skin
- Repairs the skin and improves skin health
The Multi-purpose Vitamin E
If you’re looking for something that will have a lot of benefits for the skin overall, vitamin E is your thing. When topically applied, all the antioxidants come into action and improve your skin. For best results apply before bed so your skin has plenty of time to soak it all in. Here are some amazing benefits of vitamin E on the skin;
- Acts as a deep moisturizer
