SKIN SAVER REMEDIES: VITAMINS

Vitamins can be applied to the surface of the skin, either from a capsule or mixed into creams, oils, ointments, herbal infusions or fruit juices.

Here are just a few of the commonly applied skin benefactors.

Vitamin A – has been successfully used in treating dry ageing skin and acne.

Vitamin D – has a healing effect on the skin, it is often used in ointments for burns, acne and pimples.

Vitamin E – is a natural anti-oxidant. It promotes the formation of skin cells, improves blood circulation and helps relieve symptoms of dermatitis.

Vitamins A, B, C, E and iron -are suitable as a nourishing moisturiser for dry older skin with under active sebaceous glands.

In order to receive the maximum benefit of vitamin preparations used through the skin, apply after a facial sauna (through steaming), a hot bath or strenuous exercise. The physical exertion improves the skin’s absorption abilities. Whenever possible leave preparations on for 20 minutes, then simply cleanse or blot off the excess.
