The 5 Best Vitamins For Beautiful, ‘No-Filter’, Black Skin

vitamins for skin glow

Are you wondering how to get glowing skin?

You already know that a well-balanced diet is important for good health. Considering that your skin is your body’s largest organ, it makes sense that certain nutrients are essential for preventing and reversing many signs of skin aging, as well as maintaining supple and glowing skin.

That said, experts note that the body delivers only a certain percentage of vitamins to your skin, no matter how much you ingest. This is why applying key vitamins topically can help deliver maximum benefits, including improving your skin’s texture and making your complexion more even-toned.

1. Vitamin A (retinoid)

What it does: Fades brown spots and smooths roughness.

Where to find it: Lotion, treatment creams and night creams (vitamin A derivatives are known as retinoids), and prescription products.

How to use it: Apply retinoids only at night, since sunlight inactivates most forms of vitamin A. Prescription retinoids work fastest, within four to eight weeks.

Note: Some retinoids can cause redness, scaling, and flaking. If you’re new to retinoid use, start by applying every second or third night for the first two weeks, and build up to nightly use. Apply sparingly; a pea-size amount is enough to cover your entire face.

Where to find it: Lotions, creams, and serums.

How to use it: For maximum results, apply B3 vitamins twice a day. To reduce irritation from your retinoid, use it in conjunction with niacinamide by mixing them together in the palm of your hand before applying.
