An apple a day may keep us from becoming sick because of the vitamin C, but vitamin C is also essential for the health and quality of our skin. If you are surprised to hear that vitamin C skin care is becoming all the rage recently, don’t be. There are a couple of great reasons why vitamin C skin care products are on the rise, such as:
It is a natural antioxidant. What does this mean for you? This means that your skin is being protected by the pollutants, toxins and other environmental factors that can be damaging our skin and causing it to age prematurely. Vitamin C for our skin, much as it does inside of our bodies, acts as a sort of “first defense” against these toxins.
It contains collagen. Collagen, as most women know by now, is an ingredient that can help prevent the appearance of aging. Vitamin C is important as it facilitates the formation, maintenance, and stability of collagen. So if you want the collagen in your body to perform properly, be sure to get a healthy dose of vitamin C
Now before you invest in a bag of oranges and apples to eat to help improve your skin, bear in mind that though vitamin C is important on the inside of the body, when you ingest products with vitamin C your skin will not reap the benefits of vitamin C as it would should the vitamin C be topically applied to the skin.
Eating a lot of vitamin C actually will not boost the level of Vitamin C that reaches your skin. That is why it is important to invest in vitamin C skin care products so that you can reap the benefits of this important vitamin.
Other than have anti-aging properties, some other benefits to vitamin C skin care include:
- Natural sunscreen protection against UVA and UVB rays
- Reduction of redness of the skin (this is great for those with rosacea)
- Prevention of the creation of abnormal skin cells, thus reducing your risk of skin cancer
All in all, using a vitamin C skin care product is truly the ultimate age fighter as it prevents the signs of aging in a natural and effective way.
If you are interested in trying a vitamin C skin care product, why not try making your own? You can make your very own vitamin C skin care treatment with just a bit of vitamin c powder (any where from 1/8 to ¼ of a teaspoon) and aloe vera gel. Take a dopple of aloe vera gel and add the vitamin C powder.
Once you have mixed the two ingredients in with one another, apply it to your face just as you would any skin cream. You can use this vitamin C skin care treatment in the morning or at night before you to go bed. This is also a great aftershave lotion for men and women alike, so be sure to share this skin saving secret with your spouse!
