You probably know we can get viitamin D from the sun, but what does it do for our bodies? Why is vitamin D vital to our skin health? Well, lucky for you, we have some answers and, of course, some pretty amazing products your skin will love.  What is Vitamin D? Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for our overall health.
