Saturated concentrated substances, or liquid vitamins, for hair and skin today are becoming extremely popular in cosmetology. Based on them, unique masks, shampoos and conditioners are prepared, as well as indelible balms, creams and other nutritional compounds. At the same time, the debate about how effective they are has not subsided to this day.
Each doctor, nutritionist or cosmetologist has his own opinion on this issue. Someone believes that optimal nutrition provides the body with all the necessary trace elements and vitamins and their additional intake can only do harm. Others argue that the nutrients absorbed by food are spent on maintaining the functioning of the internal organs, but not on the periphery (hair and skin). And it is liquid vitamins that allow you to neutralize the deficit and give you not only health, but also beauty.
Tableted or liquid complexes?
In addition to the fact that today there are magic pills that can optimize the diet, everyone knows. They are also used to effervescent compounds that are previously dissolved in a glass of water. However, liquid vitamins cause some confusion. Are they used only to look after the exterior or are they taken orally, and if so, what is the advantage over the usual complexes? In fact, they are really used in most cases for external use, but if you are interested in the option of monotherapy (the use of not a full complex, but only that element that the body lacks), then it is liquid vitamins that can become an ideal option.
The main differences
The complexes habitual for us are in a solid state, and therefore, they are absorbed more slowly. But liquid formulations begin to act very quickly. However, pharmaceutical companies, in order to stimulate consumer demand, sometimes advertise new products with somewhat exaggerated effects. Therefore, let's see what really is the exclusivity of the proposal.
So, the liquid form does not require further splitting, which means that it can already be used by the body. In this case, the tablet complexes begin to dissolve directly in the stomach. If you have problems with the digestive tract, then it is undesirable to take any drugs, since each of them has its own effect on the mucous membrane. And liquid vitamins begin to be absorbed already in the oral cavity. However, there are also disadvantages. In the composition of liquid complexes there are enzymes that have a very short shelf life. In addition, most of them are destroyed in the stomach under the influence of gastric juice. A certain amount is absorbed by the walls right here, and only a small fraction reaches the intestine, which is the main organ where the absorption of nutrients and minerals should take place.
In contrast, tabletted vitamins have a long shelf life. In addition, once in the stomach, they begin to dissolve and, reaching the intestines, are successfully absorbed. This is their significant advantage.
A wide range of
It should be noted that drugs for intravenous administration to smear on the head and rub into the skin does not make much sense. They have a different structure and tasks, which means that it is better to use special formulations for external use, which are sold in ampoules. It is advisable to consult with a trichologist first, who will select the groups of vitamins you need.
So, riboflavin is recommended for use in case of hair loss, panthenol, biotin, retinol, as well as elements D, D2, D3, F return their elasticity and elasticity. For fragility, it is recommended to use vitamin A. For growth and a beautiful shine, complex E is useful. In this case, you need to explain to the pharmacist that you are purchasing the drug for external use, then it will help you choose vitamins in the oil, which are rubbed into the hair roots and scalp. Moreover, they can be mixed with various compositions of masks (kefir, onion, egg and others).
Liquid Vitamin E
Surely each of you more than once met him on the shelves of pharmacies. Here it is presented in small bottles or in special gelatin capsules, already pre-dosed for oral administration. Vitamin E in liquid form is most often used for external use. Moreover, it is equally useful for both skin and hair. Let's look at these uses separately.
Vitamin E in liquid form is the most beneficial element for the skin. It is used in the treatment of various diseases, as well as for the correction of age-related changes. This is an element of youth, a rejuvenating apple, which is always at hand. A deficiency of vitamin E leads to the fact that the skin loses its elasticity, becomes excessively dry.
Vitamin E liquid, the price of which is very affordable, is an excellent stimulant for hair. It can be added to masks or directly to shampoo. Judging by the reviews of women, it was the use of vitamins that significantly improved the condition of the hair after unsuccessful chemistry or lightening. The cost of a bottle is about 100 rubles.
Masks for your beauty
The main thing is to know how to use these drugs correctly. Vitamin E liquid for hair is very often added to various home masks, which, together with the intake of harmonizing dietary supplements and a balanced diet, gives excellent results. Even just adding it to the shampoo, you will gradually notice that the condition of the hair has improved. Judging by the reviews of cosmetologists and women themselves, a mask based on jojoba oil is considered one of the most effective means. It must be heated, add a teaspoon of vitamin E to it, and apply on the head for 40 minutes. An alternative may be a decoction of chamomile in half with nettles.
Liquid face vitamins
This is a great way to do without trips to expensive salons. The complex of procedures is performed within two weeks, and the effect will remain for several months. The use of a healing mask for acne with vitamin A gives very good results, according to the opinions of cosmetologists. For this you need 10 drops of retinol, add 10 ml of chamomile broth and 10 g of blue clay to it. It turns out a wonderful antiseptic and disinfecting composition.
For oily skin, cosmetologists recommend a different mixture. To do this, take 10 drops of vitamins A and E, mix with 10 ml of lemon juice and apply to the skin. This composition helps pacify the sebaceous glands and reduces the likelihood of acne. At the same time, accessibility is very pleasing. It is enough to buy vitamin E liquid, the price of which is about 100 rubles, and a bottle of retinol, the cost of which is about the same, and you are provided with the basic ingredients for a long time.
For aging and dry skin, you can prepare a different composition for yourself. To do this, take 20 drops of oil-based vitamin E, add 10 mg of glycerin and a slice of mashed banana. Regular use of this product allows you to get rid of wrinkles as well. If the skin is badly damaged (acne), then you can try a healing mask. To do this, take 10 drops of liquid vitamins A and B5, mix with 10 g of pink clay. This composition, in the opinion of cosmetologists, quickly eliminates dryness and small peeling.
When the sun is missing
Everyone knows that there are vitamins that are formed under the influence of sunlight. Vitamin D liquid allows you to correct the lack of this essential element and avoid complications in the form of rickets in babies. It is a solution for oral administration, for example, Aquadetrim, in 10 ml bottles, the cost of which is 350 rubles. He takes part in the exchange of calcium and phosphorus. For oral administration, there are aqueous and oily solutions of vitamin. Most often, the second option is used for children.
Instead of a conclusion
Liquid vitamins today are widely used in medicine, pediatrics in particular, and in cosmetology. These are full-fledged analogs of pharmaceutical preparations, which differ in the form of release and the rate of assimilation in the body. They are widely used for external use, but are also prescribed inside. Water-soluble vitamins are in aqueous solutions, and fat-soluble, respectively, in oil. Liquid vitamins are sold over the counter in a pharmacy, but it is advisable to consult a doctor before use.
