Vitamin C is a must when it comes to taking care of your skin. It not only boosts collagen production and the skins plumpness, but it also ward off UV (ultraviolet) damage, promotes skin healing and helps to brighten the skin tone.
As an antioxidant, vitamin C can effectively fight off harmful free radical’s that come in contact with your skin from external sources. Some examples of free radicals are cigarette smoke, car smog and other air pollutants. Free radicals can damage your skin and applying vitamin C can combat these free radicals and improve your overall skin texture and appearance.
It Reduces Early Signs of Aging
Collagen is one of the natural filler substances in the skin. It’s in plentiful supply when you’re young and this helps to give your skin its firmness and youthful appearance. As you age, your collagen decreases, and this decline contributes to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Vitamin C comes to the rescue by firstly stimulating the production of collagen in the skin cells. And secondly, as an anti-oxidant which protects the skin from free radicals that can break down your skin cells and speed up its degradation and aging process.
It Can Lighten the Skin
Vitamin C can lighten your skin by inhibiting the amount of melanin your pigment skin cells generate. This makes it an effective way to lighten and fade away dark spots and uneven patches that your skin has.
Some studies have actually shown that vitamin C applied to the skin for 16 weeks have significantly reduced dark spots with very little side effects and irritations. So don't worry if you have sensitive skin.
Acne Fighter
Topical vitamin C can help with reducing acne through its anti-inflammatory properties that help control sebum production within the skin thereby reducing the swelling that comes with acne.
In sum, vitamin C is a commonly used ingredient and it can be found in a variety of products, so it shouldn't be too hard to spot it out. In cosmetics vitamin C is known as Ascorbic Acid, and you can easily have a look at the label of your products and see whether it has vitamin C.
Try to incorporate vitamin C into your skin care routine, by opting for either a body wash or a moisturizer with this particular ingredient.
