Vitamins in Skincare Products on Rise
NEW YORK--According to research presented at the American Academy of Dermatology in March, the number of skincare products containing vitamins has increased three-fold in the past nine years. Popular vitamin add-ons include vitamins A, B, C and E. Vitamin A works to battle free radicals, vitamin B keeps skin hydrated, vitamin C works as an antioxidant and potential sunscreen and vitamin E shields against UVB rays.
However, most experts agree that living a healthy lifestyle--eating a balanced diet, getting adequate sleep, exercising and using sunscreen--will benefit skin the most. For more information, visit www.aad.org.
