"Vitamin C is the best; It is a must-have; You need it for your skin.’’ you hear it all the time. All this talk about Vitamin C probably has you questioning if it's really that important.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that the body does not produce, so you must obtain it through your nutrition. Since vitamin C is an antioxidant, it can fight cell damage caused by free radicals. While this holds true for the entire body, it has particular benefits for your skin.
A diet high in Vitamin C can certainly benefit your overall health, but you can't be sure it's giving your skin everything it needs. You must invest in Vitamin C sources specifically for your skin as Vitamin C is easily absorbed into the skin.
So, what's the deal with Vitamin C for your skin?
1. Moisturizes and hydrates
You’ve heard it before, but we'll say it again: moisturising is essential for all skin types! Without enough moisture, the skin’s outer layer becomes itchy and tight, resulting in wrinkles and fine lines. It also increases the skin's sensitivity to irritation.
Vitamin C reduces transepidermal moisture loss, hydrating the skin and locking in moisture for a longer time. This yields a soft, supple, and glowing skin. Moisturizing, either in the morning or evening routine, is an important part of skin care because it keeps your skin hydrated and nourished.
2. Brightens
Our skin becomes dull as we age and for a variety of other reasons. Vitamin C smoothes the skin's surface, allowing it to reflect light more effectively and thus to appear brighter.
This is what they call a 'glow,' making your skin appear and feel younger. Vitamin C also has anti-inflammatory properties that help repair damaged skin and heal skin problems like eczema, as well as even out your skin tone.
3. Fights Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a condition in which the skin produces too much melanin in certain areas, resulting in a dark spot or patchy skin of a different colour. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun damage, acne, tension, or hormonal changes in the body. Vitamin C regulates melanin production as well as the tyrosinase enzyme that aids in melanin production. Regular use of Vitamin C can help to even out the complexion by removing dark spots.
4. Removes Dark Circles
Dark circles are a common issue for most women, and they can be difficult to remove. Dark circles, puffy skin, and other signs of ageing can be caused by lifestyle factors, but they can also be caused by meds or hormone imbalances.
Vitamin C fortifies the delicate skin under the eye, making blood vessels under the skin less visible. It also tightens the skin and prevents the formation of fine lines. It can also prevent discoloration of the area due to its ability to regulate melanin production.
5. Prevents premature aging
Excessive sun exposure causes skin damage and premature aging of the skin due to oxidative stress. vitamin C neutralises the free radicals that are responsible for the damage. It also soothes and alleviates the symptoms of sunburns, redness and irritation.
Vitamin C is well-known for its ability to prevent visible signs of ageing, especially with respect to collagen. Collagen is a protein that helps the skin stay supple and youthful. As we age, the production of collagen slows, causing the skin to sag. Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, resulting in a tighter skin.
6.How to Use Vitamin C to Rejuvenate Your Skin
Vitamin C can be found in a variety of products, including face cleansers, moisturisers, and serums. However, most products contain a lot of chemicals and synthetic ingredients that are both harmful to your skin and the environment. The most excellent natural and nourishing source of Vitamin C for your skin is Aloe Vera.
