Dietary and topical ascorbic acid have beneficial effects on skin cells. Experts recommend daily dose of vitamins (65-90mg per day) through healthy, balanced diet to help support immune system and overall health. 

Now, let's look at vitamin C in skincare world, this powerful vitamin has been steadily climbing the beauty trend ladder and gaining popularity for it's ability to naturally improve skin tone, fights signs of aging and improve collagen production to save us from the sag. 


How does vitamin C work?

Vitamin c is a naturally occurring antioxidant located in the dermis and epidermis (different layers of the skin). This amazing molecule is crucial because it helps to protect us from UV photo damage, prevents loss of water from the uttermost layer of the skin. Loss of water usually results in dry and irritable skin. 


Benefits of vitamin C:

Fights free radicals and signs of aging :The antioxidant properties of vitamin C help fight free radicals and damage caused by UV radiation. The result is anti-aging action for younger looking skin. 

Brightens dark spots : vitamin C helps to lighten  hyper Pigmentation and brown spots. It also inhibits melanin production for even skin tone and brightens. 

Skin repair : It helps to repair damage from sun exposure and collagen loss by encouraging healthy cell turnover and regeneration, it fades scars as well. 

Helps protect the skin against sun damage :Vitamin C gives you added sun protection by thickening the dermis layer of the skin to help guard it against harmful UV rays which can trigger inflammation, sun spots & even skin cancer. 

When choosing vitamin C skincare products Keep in mind that the effectiveness increases when combined with other antioxidant such as Vitamin E, together they can double the protection against UV and free radical damage.  

In conclusion, while sunscreen is still the best to prevent burns and the aging effects of UV light, rubbing in a vitamin C serum or lotion underneath delivers extra insurance by counteracting the small percentage of UV rays that can sneak through.

Make sure your routine consists of a potent Vitamin C serum along other antioxidant rich skincare products.
