So Long Summer, Hello Skin Rehab!
3 Ways Vitamin C Cares For Your Skin
Has it been a Summer filled with beach parties and sun bathing and now you're left with sun spots and dark blotches on your face? It time for Summer skin rehab! Hyperpigmentation is the gift the sun leaves behind when the sun's UV rays trigger the production of melanin (the skin's pigment). This resulting in dark spots than
can appear on your face, hands, and other areas of your skin that's been exposed to the sun.
That's where skin rehab comes in. Vitamins, especially vitamin C, are essential in caring for the skin and keeping the skin healthy. In fact, there are a lot of beauty and skincare products on the market that use these natural vitamins and minerals as their ingredients. Vitamin C is said to be one of the vitamins that are very beneficial in helping the skin regenerate new healthy skin cells. There are 3 ways Vitamin C cares for the skin and is part of your post summer
skin rehab.
1. Vitamin C As A Shield From The Sun
Vitamin C, as mentioned above, serves as a good shield from the sun, which harms your skin by drying it up and causing wrinkles and lines to show up. Vitamin C does this by neutralizing the reactive oxygen or free radicals, which is often caused by the interaction of sunlight, skin tissues and of course the cell membrane. But though it prevents the absorption of light, it should not be used to replace sunscreen. Skin care experts still recommend you use sunscreen for maximum sun
protection. Still, vitamin C can be combined with sunscreens for more coverage and longer protection because once this gets into the skin, it cannot be easily washed or rubbed off.
2. Vitamin C As An Antioxidant
Vitamin C is known to play a crucial role in the oxidation process. It prevents free radicals from destroying your skin. Ultraviolet rays cause free radicals from the sun and its reaction with oxygen.
3. Vitamin C stimulates Collagen
The vitamin helps synthesize collagen, a component of the skin that is essential in slowing down the aging process of the skin. L-ascorbic acid signals the collagen genes to begin creating new collagen!
In looking for Vitamin C in products, make sure that it contains a stable L-ascorbic form and a low pH level. Highly concentrated products are also recommended. Remember that just because a product advertises Vitamin C on it front level, it does not mean that it contains the kind or the form (L-ascorbic acid) that your skin can use. That's why many of our models swear by Victoria's Best Professional Hyaluronic Vitamin C Serum.
Here's a review of this amazing serum from Amazon...
“Living in Florida with all the sunshine makes it difficult to not have blotchy skin. I have dark areas around my forehead and temples along with blemishes I have to hide under heavy foundation. I’ve been using the serum for 2 weeks know and my skin glows!! I’m wearing a lighter foundation and the dark blotches are almost gone!!! I’ve tried so many products and nothing seemed to help until I started using this. I’m buying more for myself and for holiday
gifts!” Try it now!
