Vitamins Sources and Uses in Skin What is Vitamin?

• Vitamin is an organic compound or essential ingredient for various skincare products to maintain your healthy hair and skin. It is also an essential nutrient that uses our body from various food and supplements to maintain our good health. Vitamins A, B3, B5, C, E, and K are six vitamins that use mainly in skin care products.
• Vitamin Sources and uses of vitamin A, B3, B5, C, E, and K in your skin
• Various vitamins and minerals found in a balanced diet enter our bloodstream to maintain many biological processes in our bodies. Vitamins may use internally and externally to maintain your healthy skin. Therefore, we need to intake vitamin-enriched foods and use vitamin-enriched skincare products in our daily routines to maintain good skin health.

Types of Vitamins

• There are thirteen different types of vitamins that are required for controlling various metabolic processes. Based on the solubility in fats and water, these thirteen vitamins have been classified into two different groups:
• Fat-Soluble Vitamins: Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins stored in the fat cells of your body.
• Water-Soluble Vitamins: Vitamin B complexes and vitamin C are water-soluble vitamins that are not stored in our body as their excess gets excreted through our urine and stool.

Sources of Vitamins

• Similar to minerals, most vitamins cannot be synthesized by our bodies. Therefore, we need to get them from food sources or supplementation to keep our bodies healthy.
