Vitamin A capsules

[empericalbeauty]

I was wondering if i could break some of this into my face cream (Nivea creme which i love) and get some vitamin A benefits. the idea just struck me when i realised that breaking vitamin E capsules was a good thing. so can anyone help?

Vitamin A is fat soluable and can build up in your system.

Too much Vitamin A can be toxic.

I assume that it will be absorbed into you skin and then to your blood stream.

My advice is to speak with your pharmacist - not someone at a health food store - and ask him/her if it is safe and if so, what dosage would be tolerable.

Also ask if the nivea would interfere with the healthy properties of the Vit A.

Could you just take a multi-vitamin instead?

Yup I do this - I break open Vitamin A, C, and E gel capsules & sometimes mix them into my mositurizers.

Its a LOT cheaper this way..

I've never don this, but I probably would've if I'd thought of it. lol... Although Carolyn has a point regarding the vitamin A. Might want to ask a Dermatologist or at least a pharmacist about it before you do it.

So i crushed a couple of vitamin C pills with rose hips and I ground them to a very fine powder and mixed with my moisturizer (Currently using nivea creme). So far i am loving it. seems to be giving me a "glow" and an even complexion
