Vitamin K is widely recognized for its crucial roles in blood clotting and bone health, but emerging research points to its potential in promoting youthful-looking skin. It supports skin health by enhancing elasticity, strengthening delicate capillaries, and reducing the appearance of dark circles, bruises, and fine lines. Incorporating vitamin K through leafy greens, certain vegetables, or specialized skincare products could help maintain a firmer, brighter, and more resilient complexion over time, making it a valuable addition to both your diet and beauty routine.
