Dehydration
Air conditioning dryness
Moisturizing
Supplements
Diet
We have looked at various things, but the star of this series is definitelyvitamins!
So this time, we will
simply explain how vitamins C, D, and E differ in summer beauty
💡
☀️First premise: Vitamins are important, but they are not a substitute for sunscreen
Being conscious of vitamins is very important. However, oral care and inner care are
not a substitute for sunscreen. It is natural to think about vitamins on top of a foundation of external UV protection.

If you are wondering
"What should I focus on first?"
in the summer, vitamin C is the easiest place to start✨
🌿Vitamin D is important when considering the "foundation of skin barrier"
Vitamin D is the one to remember when your skin feels dry, unstable, or difficult to manage with just moisturizer...
It is a vitamin to keep in mind during those times.
It is related to molecules involved in skin differentiation and barrier formation,
making it easy to understand from the perspective of the "skin's foundation."Source
✨Vitamin E is easy to understand when you think of it as "fat-soluble antioxidant"
Vitamin E is a vitamin that is easy to understand when considering oxidative stress caused by UV rays.
Because it is fat-soluble, it is discussed from a slightly different angle than Vitamin C.Source
Therefore, it is not just about C,
but you can also view it as "E also has a proper context in summer beauty."
🌼
📌To summarize roughly...
Vitamin C
→ The gateway to summer beauty. For those who want to start with the basics.Vitamin D
→ For those who want to rethink their skin barrier and foundation.Vitamin E
→ For those who want to think about summer oxidative stress comprehensively.
