Newborn babies are given a dose of Vitamin K while still in the hospital to prevent hemorrhaging. Skin heals faster from bruises and other types of damage when there is the proper amount of Vitamin K in the body. You will also bruise less in general. Dermatologist and researchers have found that Vitamin K may be the “fountain of youth” since it will make your skin look healthier, more vibrant, and minimize fine lines and wrinkles on your face and neck. Your skin elasticity will improve by utilizing Vitamin K on a regular basis.
You can either take a Vitamin K supplement or eat foods rich in Vitamin K. We at Acne Skin Site recommend eating foods rich in this amazing vitamin so you can get tons more antioxidants and nutrients in your system. Some foods rich in Vitamin K include dried and fresh herbs (like basil, thyme, sage to name a few), dark leafy greens (like kale and spinach), scallions, brussel sprouts, broccoli, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, asparagus, pickled cucumbers, cabbage, and prunes just to name a few.
