A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SKINCARE INGREDIENTS & HOW THEY WORK (OR DON’T WORK) TOGETHER.

If you were having a party you’d want all your friends there, Vitamins A, B, C, E and of course the antioxidants. However, they all have their own unique relationships and some of them may not exactly get along!

 

VITAMIN A

Vitamin A is a night owl and party animal, that only comes out after dark and is always the life of the party. However, Vitamin A is better tolerated in small doses, because in large doses Vitamin A can be very irritating, especially for Vitamin C. It’s best to keep Vitamin A and Vitamin C separated.

 

VITAMIN B

Vitamin B is the friend that everyone wants to have as their BFF. Vitamin B always has your back and boosts up everyone else’s mood. Vitamin B is the hero that comes to your rescue and will always be there for you morning or night, and yes, even through the tough times like pregnancy and menopause. Vitamin B has a soothing personality and never causes trouble, but don’t let that fool you, Vitamin B knows how to party and is always the first to arrive and last to leave.

 

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C always smells good, is fiercely protective of you, is early to rise and prefers to not come out at night. However, as Vitamin C is a sensitive soul and can upset easily, Vitamin C can sometimes find Vitamin A very irritating.

 

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E is the quiet, cautious and safe friend that can be a little bland. Vitamin E is always there for you and gets along with everyone, though generally goes about unnoticed. Vitamin E is the quiet achiever.

 

SUPER ANTIOXIDANTS

The super Antioxidants, are your parents. They know what’s best and just want the best for you and want to protect you from the world… should you be eating that? That’s not organic! This contains preservatives! Who’s that new friend? What time are you coming home? They never let up, but have the best intentions and are your ultimate protector.

So the moral to the story is; yes we love all of our skincare products…vitamins, antioxidants, acids and so on. However some forms of skincare ingredients, not only don’t like each other, but absolutely hate one another. To avoid an ingredient war happening directly on your face, trust cosmeceutical only skincare products and join Yasmine and Lana as they guide you through skincare layering rituals in their Must-have DIY Facials today.
