Even though it seems like now more than ever, we’re paying attention to our vitamin intake, it is quite noticeable how vitamin B12 is somehow left behind. We’re taught to take vitamin C to improve our immune system, vitamin D for healthy bones, but how much do we know about the importance of vitamin B12?

The human body can’t produce vitamin B12 (also known as cobalamin). Therefore, people can get them either through some types of food or by taking supplements.

Although we have more and more products that we can use for our facial care, resort to the basic thing always works: vitamins, old known, keep on having their place in our beauty routine. Many creams, serums, masks, and even injectable cocktails use vitamins to ensure a “good face effect”. But, what are the vitamins that can help us to improve our skin?

To begin with, we must separate what is useful for us topically (applied directly to the skin) from what we want to use orally. Orally, it is enough to ensure the daily intake through food, and occasionally through vitamin supplements, but it is not necessary to be obsessed: massive doses of vitamins taken orally will not be able to benefit our skin more than the appropriate doses.
