VITAMIN C FOR SKIN
WHAT IS VITAMIN C?
Vitamin C, and its derivatives, are among the most widely studied ingredients in skincare (and for good reason!). These antioxidant substances may help shield the skin from the effects of free radicals. Daily sources of free radical damage include external and internal stressors like sun exposure, pollution, lack of sleep and poor nutrition.
VITAMIN C BENEFITS FOR SKIN
With its glow-boosting properties, vitamin C has been recognized by dermatologists as a multitasking, anti-aging powerhouse. As we age, our skin can become duller due to the sun, pollution and other factors like skin metabolism slow-down.
The good news is that using a topical formula containing vitamin C every day can help revive skin’s healthy glow. This is thanks to formulas with the powerful antioxidant benefits of vitamin C and its derivatives. These include helping to visibly diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tone for brighter, glowing skin. Fans of vitamin C also love it for the radiance boost it gives skin.
Regular application of vitamin C-enriched formulas (think: serums), also protects skin from the effects of free radicals like air pollution. Adding a daily dose of vitamin C skincare to your regular routine is a step that your skin will thank you for.
