What does Vitamin K do for you?
Vitamins are essential to the health of our skin and hair. Ensuring you are not only consuming the required amount of different vitamins but also using them topically can help you achieve targeted results. This is possible since various vitamins bring different benefits to the table. Today we’ll take a look at vitamin K and the benefits of its topical application for skin.
Vitamin K is made up of 2 components – K1 and K2. While K1 is found in foods such as green leafy vegetables and cereal grains, K2 is found in fermented foods and animal products. The main function of Vitamin K is to aid the body’s process of blood clotting which in turn helps heal wounds, bruises, and areas affected by surgery.
This property makes it a potent vitamin to heal with skin conditions like stretch marks, varicose veins, scars, and dark spots. It supports the skin’s natural barrier function and hence promotes faster healing of cuts and bruises. It also improves the elasticity of blood vessels which reduces the aforementioned skin conditions.
The ability to boost the elasticity of blood vessels makes vitamin K useful in reducing puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. It increases circulation and reduces fluid retention in the under eye area. Vitamin K also boosts collagen production which improves the elasticity of both skin and hair. This results in increased skin and hair resilience with decreased signs of aging and breakage.
With its ability to boost blood circulation, Vitamin K works potently as an anti-inflammatory agent. It soothes redness and calms irritated skin. It increases the ability of your skin cells to retain hydration for longer. This helps restore moisture and softness to dry and damaged skin. This also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Overall, vitamin K works powerfully to promote a beautiful and clear complexion.
