Apart from its antioxidant properties, vitamin K is also involved in tissue regeneration and cell growth control. These specific effects of vitamin K are significant in maintaining softer, brighter and younger looking skin.
 
Vitamin K helps the body produce new skin cells. When this happens, fresh, healthy skin cells easily replace older cells that are dry and hard, especially in the outer layer of the skin. Once the dead skin cells are removed, new and fresh ones become visible.
 
Vitamin K contributes to the protection of collagen in the body. When healthy collagen production is maintained, skin appears firmer, smoother and younger. This means that the skin will be able to maintain its elasticity, thus preventing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
 
Vitamin K is primarily known for its anticoagulant property, which helps regulate bleeding. This property also helps strengthen blood vessels to prevent them from breaking or damaging. This means that vitamin K is effective in preventing the main cause of dark circles under the eyes.
