When we notice the first signs of aging skin, the first thing we want to do is reach for a powerful anti-aging beauty cream. But, vitamins are also a great way to deliver anti-aging ingredients to the body. Sagging skin is one of the most common aging symptoms. It occurs as a result of collagen and elastin loss in our skin as we age. But, not to worry! These 5 vitamins are dermatologist-recommended AND will have your skin firm and supple in no time!

HUM Collagen Love
“With age and sun exposure, collagen gets damaged,” says dermatologist Dr. Hayley Goldbach. “To add insult to injury, we actually start producing less collagen starting in our 20s and 30s.” The clinically-researched HUM Collagen Love vitamins contain 3 different collagen types to restore collagen in the skin dermis.

Nature's Bounty Radiant Skin Ceramosides Formula
Nature's Bounty Radiant Skin vitamins help restore moisture to the skin by providing ceramides. "When people experience dry skin, it is because of a loss of ceramides in the skin, which can also cause itching, flaking, peeling, and scaling," The Dermatology Review reports. "Using ceramides skin care products can help replace lipids that have been lost due to chronic dryness, environmental factors, and skin damage caused by certain skin conditions."
