Vitamin B12, But For Your Skin?

IMG_0747.JPG

As someone who considers herself relatively healthy, I’m pretty versed on the importance of vitamins in our daily diets. But, it wasn’t until Coreelle reached out to me with The Potions line that I was intrigued about adding vitamin B12 to my skincare regimen. 

Vitamin B12 is fantastic for promoting cell turn over and revealing smoother, firmer, and softer skin. It’s an amazing antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties to help protect and strengthen the skin barrier. The Potions Vitamin B12 Ampoule is a bit thick, but it sinks into our skin quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy film, which makes it perfect for your morning routine. Since I’ve started using it, it’s helped heal a few breakouts faster than usual, as having a strong skin barrier is essential to keeping breakouts at a minimum. Not only does Vitamin B12 reduce irritation, but it also hydrates your skin. It’s one of the most complete antioxidants for your skin and it’s surprising that not a lot of people give it the hype it deserves. I highly recommend you include vitamin B12 in your skincare routine, as it’s been a welcomed addition to mine.   

Not only was I able to try out The Potions Vitamin B12 Ampoule, but I was also gifted their Peptide Ampoule and the Cica Complex Cream Mixer. Talk about the perfect anti-aging, skin-saving, hydrated-to-the-gods skincare duo! The Peptide Ampoule is packed with amino acids to help keep the elasticity of your skin, while hydrating and strengthening it as well. Once I’m done patting this ampoule on my neck and face, I follow it up with the Cica Complex Cream Mixer. Now this cream mixer might actually be my favorite moisturizer right now! It has the amazing ingredient cica (which I will dive deeper into in another blog post), which helps soothe and heal your skin, along with two of my favorite ingredients ever; squalane and niacinamide! Squalane is great for winter because it helps strengthen and form a skin barrier, which not only protects skin but retains moisture.It’s the perfect cocktail ingredient for smooth, even-toned, hydrated, healthy skin. I honestly can’t get enough of it. If you haven’t tried it, I urge you to do it cause it’s been a fantastic addition to my skincare routine, y’all know it’s winter and our skin needs some extra TLC right now and this is exactly what my skin needed.
