What is vitamin C?
Some may wonder the reasons you need vitamin C In your skincare routine. Vitamin C is known as the the key to maintaining a smooth, even, and glowy complexion. But what is it?
Vitamin C, which also goes by ascorbic acid and L-ascorbic acid, is an antioxidant vitamin. It’s not something that our bodies naturally make, instead our body benefits from it internally by eating food rich in Vitamin C.
Vitamin C In your skincare routine helps repair tissue in the body, boost the immune system, and protect against free radical damage from our environment.
As many benefits as there are to taking Vitamin C internally, there are also huge skin benefits to topical application, up to 20x more potent than the oral intake alone. Using a vitamin C serum products with this impactful ingredient is the most direct way to see results in your skins health and appearance.
What are vitamin C’s benefits for skin?
Pretty much…. everything. My favorite thing about vitamin C is that it’s a powerful antioxidant. Have you ever seen an Apple turn brown after sitting for a while? That process you’re watching is oxidation- free radical damage caused my UV exposure. This same unfortunate process affects our skin, leading to aging. Vitamin C is an ANTIoxidant that helps to prevent and repair this free radical damage leading to healthier skin.
Vitamin C in your skincare also promotes collagen production, which can assist in the softening of fine fines and wrinkles, and slow down signs of aging.
It also inhibits melanin production in the skin. What does this mean? Almost all of us have had an unfortunate run in with hyperpigmentation. Sun spots, Melasma, age spots, brown spots. These all occur when trauma to skin occurs whether from sun damage, hormones or acne etc. and melanin cells cluster to the damaged area. Vitamin C prevents this process from taking place, which helps to lighten hyperpigmentation, even out skin tone, and enhance skin’s glow and radiance. Because of that collagen production, your cellular turnover increases making exfoliating away uneven skin tone that much easier. It’s hydrating, it’s brightening, it reduces inflammation, I meant it when I said it- it does everything.
How to use it
In my experience and research Vitamin C in your skincare works best in a serum form since serums can penetrate the skin deeper than other products. Vitamin C works great as a day time product so we recommend applying in the morning. Cleanse, tone, vitamin C, moisturizer, sunscreen. This is a great routine to start your day with!
