Use of vitamin preparations in the skin care process

Abstract

Vitamins exhibit a wide spectrum of activity. They take part in all vital processes in the organisms and are responsible for young and healthy appearance of the skin. Each of the vitamins is characterized by individual properties and their own way of activity. The aim of the study was to present the most common vitamins in cosmetic products and their influence on the condition of the skin, hair and nails. Vitamin deficiency can cause not only changes and diseases inside the body, but also may impair skin conditionssuch as: altered tone, grayish and bruising around eyes, visible blood vessels, discoloration and lack of elasticity. Synergistic supplementation of vitamins, both oral and external, can improve the appearance of the skin and reduce changes caused by environmental factors.
