Vitamin K can be found in many topical products.
There are several benefits of using vitamin K for the skin. This vitamin is capable of reducing the discoloration that can appear under the eyes. Vitamin K for the skin can also improve the elasticity of the dermis. In addition, this vitamin has been shown to improve the healing of wounds and bruises.
Many conditions can cause dark circles to form under the eyes. The most common reasons for these types of spots are allergies, lack of sleep and a genetic predisposition to this problem. Regardless of the reason, the most common cause of dark spots under the eyes is a lack of blood flow to the area. Using vitamin K for the skin can diminish dark marks under the eye by rejuvenating the capillaries that supply blood to the delicate undereye area. The increase in capillaries increases blood flow to this area of the skin. It may take many applications of a vitamin K cream, gel, or concentrated solution, but eventually the dark spots will begin to fade.
Vitamin K cream can help reduce the size of bruises.
As a person ages, the elasticity of the skin, especially on the face, decreases, leading to sagging and wrinkling of the skin. Vitamin K for skin can promote an increase in skin elasticity and help reduce wrinkles that form with aging. With age, the dermis loses carboxyglutamic acid from the protein matrix that maintains the skin’s elasticity. Vitamin kK helps maintain the concentration of the protein matrix of carboxyglutamic acid in the skin and reduces the chances of wrinkles.
The use of vitamin K can diminish dark circles.
A hematoma forms when trauma to the skin causes blood vessels under the skin to rupture and blood to pool in the damaged area, just under the skin. This unsightly wound will make the skin look black, brown, or blue until the body can dissolve and dissipate the blood. The bruises can last for many days or even a week or two. Older people have more delicate blood vessels and have much more severe and prolonged bruising.
Vitamin K can help prevent wrinkles and treat dark discoloration around the eyes.
Vitamin K for skin promotes the healing of bruises by increasing the body’s ability to repair broken blood vessels. This nutrient also helps in the reabsorption of blood that has leaked and pooled at the site of the bruise. Many surgeons, especially plastic surgeons, will suggest that their patients increase their intake of foods rich in vitamin K, such as herbs, green leafy vegetables, and broccoli. They will also suggest that the patient apply a vitamin K cream to the surgical area for two weeks before and after the procedure.
