My skin tends to get very dry particularly in the cold winter months. Daily bathing seems to only exacerbate the problem, leaving my skin raw, red and sometimes even itchy. I try my best to avoid regular soap or heavily perfumed body washes and cleansers, but I’ve had a difficult time finding any that don’t still feel like they are leaving something behind on my skin.
We may not be able to stop the years from flying by, but we don’t have to completely surrender to the visible signs of aging. Wrinkles are indeed a fact of life, but with the proper treatment, you can minimize their appearance and keep skin looking deceptively younger; and who doesn’t want to look younger?
Vitamins are essential to the proper functioning of all of our body parts – including the skin. Certain vitamins have been proven to help skin look younger and preserve it’s beauty longer. Skincare product makers have long incorporated vitamins including A, B, C, D and E for their protective, regenerative and anti-aging properties.
By now it’s no beauty secret that as we age, retinol becomes a woman’s best friend and greatest weapon against wrinkles and the ravages of time. Retinol, a pure, topical form of Vitamin A, helps increase skin’s thickness and collagen production, firming and refining the complexion and restoring its vibrancy – a literal fountain of youth.
