Best Vitamins for Skin

If your list of New Year's resolutions includes improving how you care for your skin, there are a slew of small changes to help you get started. Tempted to spend your hard earned money on serums and tinctures you see on TikTok? Not so fast!

Before you go buying a bunch of products that promise perfection in a bottle, we advise studying up on the best vitamins for skin care. Don’t despair—we’ve done the work for you. Without further ado, here are the top five vitamins for ensuring healthy, radiant skin into 2022 and beyond!

What are the best vitamins for skin health?

Unfortunately, taking a multivitamin each day isn’t enough to guarantee your skin will reap the rewards. There are nutrients you should regularly include in your diet, and those that can be supplemented by skin care products. Finding the best balance of vitamins to guarantee your skin glows sounds daunting, but fortunately, the mega-babes behind Moody Sisters are here to guide you every step of the way.

1.  Vitamin A for Skin Renewal

Vitamin A is powerful enough to penetrate each layer of the skin. While delivering healthy antioxidants, vitamin A simultaneously prevents sun damage, reduces inflammation, and helps heal scrapes and burns. This is because vitamin A promotes cell turnover, prompting dead skin to shed.

The most well recognized form of vitamin A is retinol, an ingredient hailed by dermatologists and estheticians alike. Used as a topical treatment for the skin, retinol works to resurface your skin over time. It does so by speeding up the rate with which dead skin cells are regenerated.

While retinol delivers results you can actually see, many newcomers have a hard time adjusting to the product’s strength. Don’t be deterred by the risk of sunburn, or the possibility of your skin peeling. Once you find the ideal form of retinol for your skin, and pin down the perfect routine, we promise you won’t regret adding vitamin A to your beauty bag.

2.  Vitamin C for Brightening

Has your complexion been looking a little dull and lifeless? Vitamin C may just be the secret weapon your skin needs! Small but mighty, vitamin C packs a powerful punch and boasts a wealth of benefits to improve your skin’s appearance.

For starters, vitamin C plays a role in healthy collagen production. Collagen is a key ingredient to maintaining youthful, radiant skin. Similarly, vitamin C helps minimize the effects of sun damage, which can accelerate the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s no wonder you’ll spot vitamin C on the ingredients list of many anti-aging skin care products.

3.  Vitamin D for evening skin tone

There’s no better feeling than soaking up the warm summer sun, with proper SPF protection, of course! The sun is one of the most powerful sources of vitamin D, so letting the light in now and again is necessary. Just 10-15 minutes of sun exposure each day can promote your body’s natural production of vitamin D. Healthy levels of this vitamin can improve symptoms of psoriasis, even out skin tone, and boost bone strength.

Unlike most of the other vitamins on this list, vitamin D is not commonly used in topical serums or creams. Instead, you’ll find a vegan ingredient called Squalene commonly used in products that provides a Vitamin D synthesizer to provide the same benefits.

One of our current faves is Moody Sisters Pink Moroccan Glow Face Mask. A blend of pink kaolin clay, vitamins C & E, Squalene and CoQ10, this rich mineral mask penetrates deep within the dermis to leave your skin feeling luxuriously soft and smooth. Did someone say spa day?!

4.  Vitamin E for Nourishing

Vitamin E and vitamin C are equally potent partners that work in tandem to keep you looking fresh-faced. Defend your skin from damaging UV rays and fight early signs of aging with the help of this antioxidant. Although vitamin E is naturally found in our skin’s sebum, you may experience periods of dryness. In such cases, Moody Sisters has a selection of products you can turn to.

Our Brightening Hyaluronic Acid Serum is also beloved by our beautiful babes, as it can correct dark spots and treat under eye circles, so you’re left looking lively and ready for what the day has in store.

5.  Vitamin B3 for Calming

Like others on this list, vitamin B3 is a vital nutrient for supporting healthy skin. Vitamin B3 or Niacinamide plays a big role in the body’s cell renewal process. It will help calm and even out skin tone for the most sensitive skin. This vitamin is commonly used for those with redness, rosacea and eczema. You’ll find Vitamin B3 to reduce the appearance of inflammation, hyperpigmentation and increase hydration and smoothness in skin.

Use this Calming Niacinamide Serum to get the benefits of Vitamin B3 for your skin, with just one use. This serum is loaded with aloe, avocado and infused with over 5% Vitamin B3 to moisturize and balance your skin.
