Vitamin D!

Published on by

While we all love the bright sunshine, we are warned daily to keep our interaction with the sun to a minimum and to use SPF protection to block the harmful rays. What we don’t realize is that without the sun we most likely may not be getting enough of the essential Vitamin D our body needs and what the importance of the vitamin is.

Vitamin D plays a very important role in our bodies. This vitamin is involved in regulating minerals in our bodies. Vitamin D also works in boosting your immune system, preventing autoimmune diseases and even preventing cancer. It helps to restore weak bones, and helps to heal psoriasis. So the bottom line is that it is a very essential vitamin our body needs to stay healthy and one that we can become deficient in easily. It is important to be aware of the amounts we get to maintain a healthy balance. You can obtain this important vitamin in other ways without sun damage but it’s up to you to reach out. Aside from supplements, there are skin care products specifically formulated to supply your skin with D. I suggest the Goldfaden Vitamin D Face Cream. We can stay safe by being aware and addressing the proper concerns we have. You can still blow the sun a quick kiss without losing some of the benefits it has to offer.

They are finally here… What, you ask? The amazing LaVanilla products!

I tried them all and to my surprise, there was not one which was unpleasant. So now we have received the line of products here at SkinStore.com including the fragrances, which I could not be more ecstatic about!

Hands need love too! We all have different lifestyles and skin so it’s no mystery that before we decide on products to use, we need to pin-point our concerns. Not all hands are created equal. Neither are hand creams! Do your hands feel dry, do they have wrinkles, is there sun damage or do we just need heavy repair? There are going to be products which can address each concern specifically. Here is a guide to help with the different concerns:

If you are looking for a deeply nourishing and hydrating product, look towards nourishing and hydrating products like the following: Barielle Intensive Hand Treatment Cream, AHAVA Dermud Intensive Nourishing Hand Cream, and L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream.

If your hands have age spots and sun damage, look towards these products which can help assist: NIA24 Sun Damage Repair for Decolletage & Hands, Jan Marini Age Intervention Hands, and Goldfaden Hands On.

If you have concerns based around wrinkles or lack of skin firmness, look towards products that can assist such as: StriVectin HC Hand Cream, MD Forte Hand & Body Cream, and Dermelect Timeless Anti-Aging Hand Treatment.
