Most of us know that vitamins can work wonders on your skin from the inside. However, many people have yet to realize the benefits of using vitamins on the outside.
Below is a simple guide to aid you through the sometimes daunting maze of vitamin-enriched products, while making sure your skin get its recommended daily allowance of beauty.
There’s no doubt that skin needs antioxidants. But with so many available, the question is which ones. We’ve got the answer.Like sex educators, dermatologists constantly lecture on the importance of using protection. And we’re not just talking about SPF but also about topical antioxidants that save cells from a significant amount of environmental damage.
When people hear the word acid, they picture a dangerous chemical which will hurt, burn or peel off their skin. But not all acids are the same.
Was discovered by Karl Meyer in 1934, Hyaluronic acid is a very unique substance that occurs naturally in the body. It lubricates the joints and is found in spinal fluid. It also provides moisture to our cells. As we age, however, our bodies decrease the production of Hyaluronic acid. When this production decreases, we start to develop lines and wrinkles and our elastin and collagen tissues start to lose elasticity and moisture. Over time, the skin grows thinner and it becomes harder to recover from skin damage from the sun or from cuts and scrapes.
The simple things you can do to take years…and years…and years off your face.Your pores expand as gunk accumulates in them—and the older you get, the more likely they are to stay expanded. Put them on a diet by switching to a cleanser with salicylic acid, which dissolves the oil in the pores. It also helps slough away dead skin that can lead to clogging. Salicylic Cleansing Gel is the best choice for oily and acne skin.

EXFOLIATE FIRSTThink of the surface of the epidermis—those dead cells—as a barrier. You have to remove it for products to get in. This particular barrier is more like a gossamer curtain than a brick wall, however, so go easy. Basic cleansers free up pores by removing dirt and oil, but to truly increase absorption, you’ll need an enzyme– or acid–based cleanser, or a grainy scrub with small, smooth particles.

1. YOU ARE SCARED OF RETINOIDSThough they once held a reputation as an aggressive ingredient, dermatologists say a pea-size amount rubbed all over your face helps speed cell turnover—and today’s formulations are gentle enough for sensitive skin. (If your skin is super-sensitive, apply retinols every other night until your skin can better tolerate them.)
