As the body's largest organ, your skin helps to regulate body temperature, offers protection against the outside environment, and minimizes water loss. Over time, your skin can go through a lot of changes. Factors such as aging, hormones, stress, genetic traits, and lifestyle can contribute to your skin's overall health and appearance. Keep your face looking healthy, youthful, and radiant with the large selection of facial products, multivitamins for skin care, moisturizers, eye treatments, and many more face care options from The Vitamin Shoppe.

What to avoid in facial products

With so many different types of facial products on the market, finding a face care brand that loves you back can be an overwhelming experience. Many commercially produced facial products contain chemicals or synthetic substances that can actually harm your skin. In fact, ingredients like artificial colors, parabens, and fragrances may result, in clogged pores.

Opt for facial products featuring natural ingredients

Since your face acts as a filter that blocks harmful substances like toxins and environmental pollutants, it's important to be conscious of what you're putting on your face. Give your face the care it deserves by choosing products with natural vitamins, minerals, and plant-based extracts, such as rose water and tea tree oil. When picking a face care product, look for the following ingredients:

• Antioxidants. By combating free radicals found in the environment and the body, antioxidants can help to restore and strengthen your cells.
• Vitamins. Face care products containing vitamins A, C, E, D, and K help to encourage skin cell repair. Face washes containing zinc can promote the healing of the skin's tissues and help regulate the activity of the oil glands.
• Essential oils. Essential oils like tea tree, frankincense, aloe vera, lemon, lavender, rose, myrrh, and ylang-ylang can help to hydrate and calm the skin as well as promote elasticity.
• Beneficial fats. Oils like rose hip, argan, coconut, avocado, shea butter, and jojoba can help your skin retain moisture. Beneficial omega fatty acids offer a soothing effect on the skin.

A solution for every skin type

Our inventory of products for facial care includes treatments for every skin type. If you have shiny, breakout-prone skin, a quality mud or clay mask can help to draw out impurities and combat excess oil buildup. If your skin feels tight or dry, a hydrating vitamin cream for the face can moisturize while soothing sensitive skin. Face creams with aloe vera, vitamin E, and vitamin C are great hydrating options. To help brighten and firm the skin, choose a booster serum or face peel to support your skin's elasticity. After a peel, revitalize your skin by using a product that contains hyaluronic acid or soothing rosewater.

When choosing the right facial products, remember that beauty starts on the inside. In addition to incorporating the best topical skin products into your daily beauty routine, shop our line of multivitamins for skin care.
