How Does Vitamin C Help Your Skin?
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants, but what does that mean for your skin? When added to your daily skincare regimen, Vitamin C provides a range of benefits from evening out your skin, to protecting from sun damage, improving overall skin hydration and boosting your skin’s natural glow. It’s also an all-natural ingredient, which makes it safe, gentle and easily usable by all skin types, while still being immensely effective when used in skincare products.
The Benefits of Vitamin C
Anti-Aging Properties
Vitamin C is highly regarded as the royal ingredient for anti-aging! Our skin changes as we age, cell turnover slows down, collagen production decreases and our overall skin health begins to diminish. Vitamin C on the other hand encourages healthy cell turnover and regeneration which improves skin firmness and helps prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
Stimulates Collagen Production
Age and sun damages are the leading causes for losses in collagen damage, which leads to fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Luckily for us, Vitamin C is one of the most reliable anti-aging ingredients on the market due to its ability stabilize and create collagen molecules. It can also naturally increase the quality of collagen created in the body, which improves overall skin texture and tone.
Helps Fight Hyperpigmentation & Brightens Dark Spots
Vitamin C is a powerhouse when it comes to healing properties. Not only does it aid the skin’s ability to heal itself, but it also inhibits melanin production which causes dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Its other anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce redness as well, which helps with evening skin tone to ease the effects of acne and rosacea. Continued use of a Vitamin C moisturizer or serum over time can help fade dark and red spots, and brighten overall skin complexion.
Repairs & Defends Against Free Radical Damage
There’s been a lot of talk lately about free radicals, and the damage they cause to the skin. Free radicals, such as sun exposure, UV damage, and pollution can be detrimental to skin help. Thankfully, the powerful antioxidant properties of Vitamin C (and other vitamins) helps to both repair and defend against the damage caused by our natural exposure to free radicals by neutralizing free radicals absorbed by the skin.
Added to that is Vitamin C’s ability to help protect against sun damage by giving you added sun protection through the thickening of the dermis layer of your skin. Apply underneath your sunscreen to help guard against harmful UV rays and sun exposure all year long!
