Vitamin C For Anti Ageing

Vitamin C is one of the best anti-ageing skincare ingredients. It is key to maintaining a smooth, even glowing complexion.

Although you may be getting plenty of vitamin C in your diet, there is no way of knowing if it is making its way to your skin. By applying Vitamin C topical it is the most direct and beneficial ways to reap the benefits of this amazing ingredient.

Collagen is naturally present in your skin and helps keep it from sagging. But your body slows down collagen production as you age. Vitamin C applied to the skin can encourage new collagen to grow. It also helps maintain the collagen you do have and protects the precious protein from damage.

The antioxidants in vitamin C may help defend against the damage that UV light can cause.  That doesn’t mean that you can use a vitamin C skin serum in place of sunscreen. It can’t replace SPF since it doesn’t absorb UVA or UVB rays. But if UV light does get into your skin, some research suggests that vitamin C can help blunt the harm.

Vitamin C is available in facial moisturizers and serums. Serums are more concentrated than moisturizers and more easily absorb into the skin, which is why more skincare specialists recommend vitamin c serums.

Ready to incorporate vitamin C into your daily skin routine? Your skincare daily routine should generally include: 

• Cleanser
