When we think of vitamins and minerals, we mostly think of gut health, muscle and nerve function as well as our overall immunity. But we forget that the skin is the largest organ of the body and how much of what we consume actually affects it! Consuming, as well as applying elements topically, supports the skin from all angles.

All vitamins and minerals are beneficial in some way and each can support and/or stimulate others into working efficiently and effectively. But today, we’re gonna talk a little about four vitamins that we can consume and apply topically.

We have the ultimate vitamin team effort to rejuvenate your skin!

We offer a Vitamin Mask with these four essential vitamins (A, C, E & B5) that will restore the skin back to life.

Vit. A – The only molecule that can actually assist in reprogramming cells, resulting in healthier looking and more radiant skin. It normalises the oil balance within your skin and speeds up healing, prevents breakouts and supports the skin’s immune system.

Vit. C – Because of its antioxidant properties, vitamin C aids in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells. Applied topically, the skin is triggered to heal itself by accelerating the production of collagen and elastin!

Vit. E – High in antioxidants and it affects blood circulation which helps firmness and structure of skin cells, helping to prevent wrinkles! It also helps reduce the prominence of acne scars.

Vit. B5 – Helps to promote faster healing of skin wounds and is most effective when combined with vitamin C. Additionally, it can help to minimise acne by helping the body to break down oils in the form of triglycerides and cholesterol.

We usually apply an algae mask over the top of the vitamin mask to allow the vitamins to be absorbed more efficiently and reduce inflammation and redness with the spirulina platensis extract.
