A number of vitamins have been shown to improve the appearance of the skin. Corinna Tolan, a beauty expert has over two decades of experience in skincare, explained which ones. Corinna told Express.co.uk readers: “If you want your skin to age well, then I suggest you incorporate a synergy of antioxidants into your skincare including vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E.”
Vitamin A is a nutrient supporting skin health. It’s found in meat and dairy and is also referred to as retinol, a skin ingredient renowned for improving the texture and appearance of skin.
It helps to stimulate collagen production, which helps iron out fine lines. It also helps to reduce sagging.
Vitamin C also improves the production of collagen and another product, elastic, which the skin look plump and firm.
It can also help with hyperpigmentation, also known as dark pigmentation like sunspots. Reducing these will make the skin look more youthful.
Vitamin E, on the other hand, helps to reduce the UV damage and the free radical damage done to the skin. It is also a natural inflammatory, so can calm redness.
These ingredients in skincare are effective at improving the skin, the expert said.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural acid found in the body’s fluids.
It lubricates the body’s joints and tissues and helps bind water to collagen.
It’s an intensive moisturiser, giving skin a flow.
It increases the collagen in the skin, giving it a plumper and wrinkle-free texture.
“That aside, a product containing vitamin A and antioxidants will ensure you age beautifully.”
SPF is essential for preventing the aging processes caused by the sun.
A study has found those who wear sunscreen every day experience 24 percent less skin aging.
Photoaging, the aging caused by the sun, contributes to wrinkling, spotting, and loss of elasticity.
