After a long struggle with acne myself in my teenage years and early twenties, it was here in Australia at the age of 22, whilst backpacking that i discovered the benefits of Vitamin A and started my own vitamin A skin care journey. Vitamin A applied topically in a daily moisturizing cream was what fixed my Acne when nothing else would. I have now used vitamin A on my skin, daily for the last 20 years and i thank it for healing my scar tissue, keeping my skin healthy and preventing me from now at almost 43, having minimal lines and wrinkles. I even used it while pregnant with my daughter because the ester form of vitamin A can be used during pregnancy and breast feeding. However, Retinal or any other alcohol forms of vitamin A are not recommended during pregnancy.
So why is vitamin A so amazing?
Skin ageing is a result of vitamin A deficiency caused from direct UV exposure. If you correct the vitamin A deficiency by applying vitamin A to the skin daily, you will have healthier looking skin for longer and as a result age a lot slower. Vitamin A deficiency leads to skin abnormalities such as skin cancer, skin conditions and ageing. To combat vitamin A deficiency, you must apply vitamin A topically to your skin everyday.
This hero ingredient works in the DNA of the skin cell to normalise and repair damaged DNA, essentially changing the way the skin thinks. It is the damaged DNA within the skin cell that is caused from the vitamin A deficiency that stops the skin from functioning adequately and therefore causes skin issues such as acne, diseases such as skin cancer and skin ageing.
Vitamin A will also stimulate collagen for firming, promote effects of the skins natural moisturising factor for a more radiant skin. Strengthen and repair the skin, Support the skins immunity, normalise sebum, minimise the appearance of enlarged pores, sun damage and pigmentations. It will leave your skin looking healthy and radiant and feeling happy!
