We all know vitamins are good for us, but how do they benefit our skin? Here’s a short explanation of how vitamins A to E can help.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is one of the most well-known beauty ingredients. That’s because it is also known as retinol. Retinol helps your skin by encouraging cell turnover to slough away old skin cells which in turn gives you brighter, plumper skin.

It also helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce acne scars and help skin pigmentation. 

If you decide to use retinol cream it is best to start off with a low percentage concentration applied at night. You may find that at first, you experience some skin peeling and redness, but this will improve as your skin becomes used to the treatment.

Vitamin B

Vitamin B from 1 to 9 and vitamin B12 help to keep your complexion healthy, prevent dryness and keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay. 

If you have a skin condition like rosacea, acne or Eczema then vitamin B3 may help to reduce breakouts. Dehydration causes wrinkles and vitamin B3 helps to moisturise your skin and improve its texture.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is ascorbic acid which improves skin tone, helps minimise damage caused by the sun and helps to protect your skin from further damage.

Collagen growth is also linked to vitamin C which keeps skin plump and smooth, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. 

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is said to protect your skin from free radicals and help to calm inflammation. So if you have sensitive skin, vitamin D applied topically could improve dermatitis and eczema. Speak to your doctor though before applying cream to a skin condition.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, so it protects your skin from the damage caused by pollution. It helps to moisturise and soften dry, sensitive skin and it works perfectly combined with vitamin C to reduce the tissue damage that can cause premature ageing.

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
