The Best Vitamins for Radiant Skin

If you have more mature skin, you may have noticed more fine lines and wrinkles in recent years, along with a loss of radiance. This is a normal process, but if you find yourself wishing for smoother, more youthful skin, you are not alone. The global anti-ageing industry is expected to rise to more than £70.7 billion by 2027, highlighting the wealth of people looking to turn back time when it comes to their complexion.

Infused with Pure Collagen, our science-backed skincare collection banishes the signs of ageing, smoothing away fine lines and tightening sagging skin.

Enhance the effects of our collection by pairing your considered daily skincare ritual with a balanced diet that contains the best vitamins for radiant skin. Read on to discover why vitamins are essential for our skin health and how incorporating them into your daily life can enhance your complexion.

What are micronutrients?

Micronutrients are the vitamins and minerals essential for radiant, healthy skin. They support skin structure, aid cell repair, regulate oil production and protect against damage, helping you cultivate a complexion that boasts lit-from-within luminosity.

If you’re dealing with dry or dehydrated skin that is prone to wrinkles, this could be a sign that you are lacking in micronutrients – or even that you have a vitamin deficiency. Carol Joy London’s vitamin-rich skincare can help restore your skin’s radiance.

Our Ultimate Serum is powered by hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, age-defying Collagen Peptides and, crucially, Vitamin C for skin-enhancing collagen production. Smooth this serum into your skin to promote a plumper, more supple complexion and impart a natural luminosity.

Calm your mind and cultivate the atmosphere of your favourite spa in your home by giving yourself a facial fascia massage – use our Rose Quartz Roller to smooth the serum effortlessly into your skin and feel your cares simply melt away.
