Unraveling the Benefits of Different Nutrients
There is so much hype about beauty products, especially sine care products. I figured they all must contain the same things, so I did some research and I found that these vitamins and minerals are included in most skin care products.
Chromium - For acne. Chromium reduces skin infections.
Zinc - Zinc aids in healing of the tissues and helps prevent scarring.
Vitamin E - Vitamin E has been shown to play an important role in protecting skin from environmental and oxidative damage. It’s also an excellent remedy for dry skin.
D-Panthenol - substance that is readily converted into vitamin B5. It is known to help the skin repair damage.
Hyaluronic acid - This is a natural moisturizer that already exists in our skin naturally and surrounds the collagen and elastin fibres. As we age, we produce less hyaluronic acid in our skin, making our skin less resilient and pliable. Hyaluronic acid is used in many moisturizers and can also be injected by doctors into the skin.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) - Helps exfoliate surface skin cells to reveal, newer, younger looking skin
Retinyl proprionate - A special form of Vitamin A (retinol). It is part of a class of retinoids. It can improve the appearance of sun damaged skin by reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, skin roughness and appearance of age spots. It is a larger molecule than retinol, which is often referred to as the pure form of Vitamin A.
